Greetings, fellow travelers at @worldmappin! It’s a pleasure to be back with you to show you some tourist spots in my hometown, Barquisimeto.
This time, I’m sharing photos of San Juan Bautista de la Salle Park—known to everyone as the “Acoustic Shell”—whose main entrance is located on Carrera 17 between Calles 21 and 22.

The park was founded over 60 years ago, and I must admit that I didn’t know about it, even though I’ve lived in this city my whole life. It was a real treat for me, although due to time constraints, I wasn’t able to explore it in its entirety, so I promise to publish a second part to provide you with more information.
The main entrance welcomes visitors with a very colorful sign identifying the place and a lined walkway leading to a long concrete staircase that descends to the lower level of the park. On the left, you can see a police booth that is permanently stationed there to safeguard the facilities and ensure the safety of park visitors.







As we walk downhill, we can smell the forest thanks to the large trees that make this place a true green lung within the city.
Impressive, towering palm trees and a dense forest are the defining features of this beautiful site. Many passersby gather here—especially in the afternoon—to cross the park and head out to Carrera 17, taking a shortcut to work. You can also see people sitting on the benches, resting and breathing in the air purified by the plants.



On the lower level, there is another plaza with orange caico flooring that gives the space an attractive hue. There, visitors take the opportunity to sit on the benches or on a circular wall to chat or walk their pets.
On this level is the famous acoustic shell, shaped like a seashell, which is currently used only on special occasions when performances are held. In the mornings, you can see people practicing dance therapy.




I believe that, although resources have recently been invested in this park to keep it running, it still needs to continue receiving support to ensure its proper preservation, considering that it is a privilege to have this forest in the middle of the city, which helps us relieve stress and feel a great sense of peace.




In an upcoming post, I’ll be sharing more details about this fabulous park in Barquisimeto.
Greetings and blessings.

Saludos amigos viajeros de @worldmappin, es un gusto para mi estar nuevamente con ustedes para mostrarles algunos sitios turísticos de mi ciudad natal Barquisimeto.
En esta oportunidad les comparto imágenes del parque San Juan Bautista de la Salle, conocido por todos como "concha acústica", cuya entrada principal está ubicada en la carrera 17 entra calles 21 y 22.

El parque tiene más de 60 años de fundado y les confieso que no lo conocía, a pesar de haber vivido toda mi vida en esta ciudad. Para mi fue un verdadero disfrute, aunque por la premura, no lo pude recorrer en su totalidad, así que desde ya me comprometo a publicar una segunda parte para complementarles la información.
La entrada principal recibe a los visitantes con un letrero muy colorido que identifica el lugar y un pasillo forrado de que conduce a unas largas escaleras de concreto que bajan hasta el nivel inferior del parque. A la izquierda se puede apreciar un módulo policial que se encuentra fijo allí para resguardar las instalaciones y dar seguridad a los visitantes del parque.







A medida que bajamos se siente el olor a bosque por la presencia de grandes árboles que convierten este lugar un verdadero pulmón dentro de la ciudad.
Impresionantes palmeras de gran altura y un bosque tupido son elementos que identifican este hermoso sitio. Aquí se dan cita, sobre todo en horas de la tarde, muchos transeúntes que atraviesan el parque para salir a la carrera 17 y así cortar camino hacia el trabajo. También se observan personas sentadas en las bancas descansando y respirando el aire que las plantas purifican.



En el nivel bajo encontramos otra plaza con pisos de caico color naranja que le dan esa tonalidad atractiva a las instalaciones. Alli los visitantes aprovechan para sentarse en las bancas o en un muro en forma de círculo para conversar o pasear sus mascotas.
En ese nivel aparece la famosa concha acústica, que tiene forma de concha marina y actualmente solo se utiliza en casos especiales cuando se llevan espectáculos. En horas matutinas , se observan personas practicando bailo terapia.




Considero que, aunque recientemente se le ha invertido recursos a este parque para su funcionamiento, todavía necesita seguir recibiendo ayudas para garantizar su correcta conservación, tomando en cuenta que es un privilegio contar con este bosque en medio de la ciudad, que nos ayuda a liberar estrés y a sentir mucha paz.




En una próxima entrega les estaré llevando mas detalles de este fabuloso parque de Barquisimeto.
Saludos y bendiciones.
