Christmas Park and City of Puerto Ordaz: When The Night Falls [ENG/ESP]

Greetings to everyone in the Worldmappin community! Today I'm joining you to share a new travel review and, at the same time, a Christmas special! This time it's about the area around Puerto Ordaz and the beloved Christmas Park, which I visited this Friday after the holiday. I've talked about it before, but as I've also mentioned then, things always change, and this time the presentation is at night. This is a personal post about my own experience visiting these places, so let's get started and join me.
This Friday, my partner and I had planned to go down to Alta Vista so we could see the Christmas decorations that had been put up throughout the city. In general, this year's decorations were sparse, considering that in previous years the work was more elaborate, and thanks to them, many people came to the city center to take pictures with the decorations. However, despite this, we took some time to take a few photos and see how far the decorations extended. I think the entire Caroní promenade was decorated, because we walked and walked and it seemed like the path of trees covered in lights would never end. We reached our limit when we got to the street parallel to Christmas Park.
¡Saludos a todos en la comunidad de Worldmappin! El día de hoy me uno por aquí para compartir con ustedes una nueva reseña turistica y al mismo tiempo ¡un especial navideño! En esta ocasión se trata de los alrededores de Puerto Ordaz y del querido Parque de la Navidad, los cuales visité hoy viernes luego del día festivo. Ya he hablado anteriormente sobre él, pero cómo he dicho también en esos momentos, las cosas siempre cambien y esta vez la presentación es de noche. Esta es una publicación personal sobre mi propia experiencia visitando estos lugares, así que comencemos con ello y acompáñenme.
Este viernes había planificado bajar con mi pareja hasta Alta Vista para que pudiéramos ver las decoraciones navideñas que colocaron por toda la ciudad. En general, la decoración de este año fue escasa, tomando en cuenta que los años anteriores había un trabajo más logrado y también gracias a ellos, muchas personas se acercaban hasta el centro para poder tomarse fotografías en dichas decoraciones. Sin embargo, a pesar de ello, tomamos un tiempo para tomar algunas fotografías y ver un poco hasta dónde llegaban. Creo que todo el paseo Caroní se encontraba adornado, pues caminamos y caminamos y parecía que el camino de árboles llenos de luces no tenía fin. Nuestro limite estuvo cuando llegamos a la calle paralela al Parque de la Navidad.
There we went down to the park and were greeted by the large aluminum tree made by Venalum, the company that commissioned its construction. There were so many people, as I could have predicted, since it was a Friday and after December 25th, the children would be desperate to find a nice park where they could use their new toys, bikes, skates, and so on. So we walked carefully to see the Christmas Park decorations without disturbing others (since we had our camera with us). It was clear that the park had invested a lot in filling everything with lights and decorations; they even included a very pretty hot air balloon. There was also a small moving train for children to ride, food and merchandise stands (toys, clothes, accessories, various items, etc.), children's entertainers (the park's iconic clown), and more.
Although, personally, I prefer it when it's less crowded and easier to walk around. That's just my opinion. These days, you have to be careful not only with pedestrians but also with drivers. There's a section between streets where you really need to watch your step. That's something to keep in mind if you want to go to the park. Something I didn't like was the number of children playing with fireworks, and even worse, many parents encouraging it. I don't think this space is for that, and even less so, leaving children near them. Besides, there are a lot of people around. A nice moment could easily turn into an accident. Finally, we left around 9:30 and went for some hamburgers. Overall, the park is very nice and enjoyable, although I suggest avoiding peak hours. That's all for now, thank you so much for stopping by.
Allí bajamos hasta el parque y nos recibió el gran árbol de aluminio de Venalum, la empresa que ordenó la construcción de ese árbol de navidad. Había muchísima muchísima gente, como podría predecir pues es día viernes y luego del 25 de diciembre, los niños estarían desesperados por encontrar un bonito parque dónde estrenar sus juguetes, bicicletas, patines y demás. Por lo cual caminamos con cuidado para ver las decoraciones del Parque de Navidad y no molestar a los demás (por aquello de que íbamos con la cámara). Se nota que en el parque sí hicieron una inversión en llenar todo de luces y decoraciones, incluso incluyeron un globo aerostático muy bonito. También estaba el pequeño tren en movimiento para que los niños se monten en él, las tiendas de comida y mercancía (juguetes, ropa, accesorios, objetos varios, etc.), animadores infantiles (el icónico payaso del parque) y demás.
Aunque para mí, me gusta más cuando está menos conglomerado y se puede caminar mejor. Esa es mi opinión personal. También porque para estos tiempos, no solamente hay que tener cuidado con los transeúntes sino con los conductores. Hay un tramo entre calle y calle dónde se debe vigilar bien cómo cruzar. Eso es algo a tomar en cuenta si se quiere ir al parque. Algo que no me hizo mucha gracia es la cantidad de niños que jugaban fuegos artificiales y peor, muchos padres alentando esto. Creo que este espacio no es para ello y mucho menos, dejar a niños cerca de eso. Además de que hay muchas personas alrededor. Un bonito momento se puede transformar en un accidente. Finalmente, nos retiramos a esos de las 9:30 y fuimos por unas hamburguesas. En general, muy bonito el parque y se puede disfrutar, aunque sugiero que no sea en horas pico. Sin más que decir, muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí.

Wow the park had really transformed into a beautiful wonderland.The twinkle of red and green and gold colors of lights shimmered around the place...what a nice experience you'll have.
Greetings 🤗 Yes, it's beautiful. I really like those decorations; they seem magical and joyful. Hugs, Merry Christmas.
It is beautiful that they have decorated the park in such a way, it looks fantastic with all the decorations and lights, which contrast perfectly in the dark night. The photos are great, each and every one of them, like the one of the illuminated train that I loved. I can really imagine how the children enjoy the place, although it is never good for them to play with fireworks and even less good for parents to encourage them to do so, neither in the park nor anywhere else.
The most beautiful thing is to enjoy the moment, the lights and those unique spaces. You can see that they have invested a lot of money and work in making it look like a fantasy world. Thank you for bringing us this little piece of Christmas. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hugs!

Greetings 🤗 Thank you very much for your kind comment. Yes, it really is like a Christmas fantasy, and I think we all want to be part of it, even if only for a few days. The most decorated area was the park; they really went all out. Thank you for your good wishes, and I send you mine in return: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Here's to a much better year, thanks to you!
