Good evening, fellow travelers. ![InShot_20260319_092835929.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXN7vg9GXqcm4rqbarnapNaHCAhurNnkavv6LSYWsJeEP/InShot_20260319_092835929.jpg) Maracaibo currently has various outdoor spaces for citizens to enjoy. One of the largest is the Paseo del Lago, which features three sections distributed along Avenida El Milagro at different points. Each of these sections leads to the lakefront, with the primary goal of providing enjoyment for the people of Maracaibo. ![20260308_111542.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmShD693eqTHTCTqjEKwYug1ATHc5we658x1qmaHPA7Lpx/20260308_111542.jpg) I visited the third stage of the Paseo de Lago for the first time; it is the one furthest from the rest. Unfortunately, it does not connect to the other two, since at some point the path is interrupted by several businesses, a hotel, and a shopping center located on the shore. It would have been good—or rather, it would be excellent—if they could connect them. ![20260308_110500.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNzedUqzWhjoRznZPPcHTKcnWEMqDD37frPXikRaEUNLB/20260308_110500.jpg) Unlike the other two stages, Paseo de Lago 3 is the smallest of them all. It has paths leading to the shore, and although there is little vegetation, the view of the sky is great—the clouds looked incredible that day. ![20260308_110522.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSd4bVSV6a6SpxPUNpkFFRXFnSy7REwmYd7TVwAToqQXQ/20260308_110522.jpg) ![20260308_110541.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXLubESigfecSyBwECnVaohBagkbz9SYntPAzNney3xts/20260308_110541.jpg) I came across a skate park, along with concrete tables with a chessboard pattern on the surface; only one was in working order, the others were damaged—or rather, they had been stolen by thieves. ![20260308_110613.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRh5GLXkNZbxbdU988cc5tZUax7CngSvaGd7mZfRANY6j/20260308_110613.jpg) ![20260308_110647.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmc5cDAkD3DwUZ7TUVosj6eJPgsxRt9g43cdD3td7pwJwj/20260308_110647.jpg) ![20260308_111348.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeUnRfe9K5u2BLXdNK1TY7jc4GxNbv5cSeJQZ68LYxxgS/20260308_111348.jpg) ![20260308_110935.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmedAo1bGm1BCNGzyoJvJBJAaB9mSqUVPFbX4Av2rDvQoR/20260308_110935.jpg) ![20260308_110937.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQSqhw8csr3d462kmX1W8skoDDDz9BzmotacNECPx9L7i/20260308_110937.jpg) When we reached the lake, it was completely calm; a few birds were perched on some branches, surely looking for a fish to eat. I always find these details fascinating—even though they’re very common, they excite me like a little girl, especially when I lose myself gazing at Lake Maracaibo. ![20260308_111000.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWPjUMaSzb92dMKN8qKcPZgtJTQ4wbByumkUbcU1Bz32d/20260308_111000.jpg) ![20260308_111023.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZ2XXEyYzUMHHyryfy298xV7Vw31RfAQ4fDiujckh297Q/20260308_111023.jpg) ![20260308_111031.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQma2GRy9McZYChaBnoezTbZ59CLHoHBA33im3WguQZ1Ps5/20260308_111031.jpg) ![20260308_111119.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUwPCrvs6YSZoHcSkV2WHnWaaGBhmnvLNEY7TyJWksS6i/20260308_111119.jpg) ![20260308_111149.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYNUhZ2SqnwcZnVziU2mhaKVHFusWXeNBPjhomE8bs1SJ/20260308_111149.jpg) ![20260308_111048.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeLiSEMS1Ch3c5xN8rHpu1qKfZE5WBcGHa4yy3fjDSU26/20260308_111048.jpg) On the way back, a little off the beaten path, there was a trumpet tree. I really love its flowers, especially the pale pink ones, and finding them here gave me the feeling that everything I love can be found wherever I go and bring a smile to my face—they are gifts that only nature and life can give me. ![20260308_111245.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRaWFjZhKFRD2xy5KW6Ep981W7w14mmTFRu3tpqjn5qKD/20260308_111245.jpg) ![20260308_111249.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdJTsasPEiw4piaWNjaJ449Sh77iUy4nVehjWRjtFzgXv/20260308_111249.jpg) We left Paseo del Lago 3; it was a huge pleasure for me to visit this area. I would have liked to have some chess pieces to play with, even though I’m not very good at that board game. I hope that the next time I return, I’ll find people in the park enjoying the activities available in its spaces. ![20260308_111528.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSo8JxcGjBScrt2uiLzV7XxHm7qSFzaobTPZX7ujaiHw8/20260308_111528.jpg)

Buenas noches, queridos viajeros. ![InShot_20260319_092835929.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXN7vg9GXqcm4rqbarnapNaHCAhurNnkavv6LSYWsJeEP/InShot_20260319_092835929.jpg) Maracaibo, actualmente cuenta con diversos espacios al aire libre para la recreación de los ciudadanos, uno de los más grandes es el Paseo del Lago, que posee tres etapas distribuidas por toda la Avenida El Milagro en distintos puntos de la misma, cada una de esas etapas conducen hacía la ribera del lago, con la principal razón de lograr el disfrute de sus Marabinos. ![20260308_111542.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmShD693eqTHTCTqjEKwYug1ATHc5we658x1qmaHPA7Lpx/20260308_111542.jpg) Visité por primera vez la tercera etapa del Paseo de Lago, es la que queda más alejada del resto, lastimosamente no conecta con las otras dos, ya que en algún punto el camino se ve interrumpido por algunas empresas, un hotel y un centro comercial que se encuentran en la orilla, hubiera sido bueno o mejor dicho seria excelente que lograrán conectarlas. ![20260308_110500.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNzedUqzWhjoRznZPPcHTKcnWEMqDD37frPXikRaEUNLB/20260308_110500.jpg) A diferencia de las otras dos etapas, el Paseo de Lago 3 es la más pequeña de todas, tiene caminerías que conducen a la orilla y aunque tiene poca vegetación, la vista al cielo es genial, ese día las nubes se veían increíbles. ![20260308_110522.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSd4bVSV6a6SpxPUNpkFFRXFnSy7REwmYd7TVwAToqQXQ/20260308_110522.jpg) ![20260308_110541.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXLubESigfecSyBwECnVaohBagkbz9SYntPAzNney3xts/20260308_110541.jpg) Me encontré con una pista para tablas de patinar, además de mesas de concretos con un tablero de ajedrez en su superficie solo funcionaba uno, los otros estaban deteriorados o mejor dicho se los llevaron algunos amigos de lo ajeno. ![20260308_110613.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRh5GLXkNZbxbdU988cc5tZUax7CngSvaGd7mZfRANY6j/20260308_110613.jpg) ![20260308_110647.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmc5cDAkD3DwUZ7TUVosj6eJPgsxRt9g43cdD3td7pwJwj/20260308_110647.jpg) ![20260308_111348.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeUnRfe9K5u2BLXdNK1TY7jc4GxNbv5cSeJQZ68LYxxgS/20260308_111348.jpg) ![20260308_110935.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmedAo1bGm1BCNGzyoJvJBJAaB9mSqUVPFbX4Av2rDvQoR/20260308_110935.jpg) ![20260308_110937.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQSqhw8csr3d462kmX1W8skoDDDz9BzmotacNECPx9L7i/20260308_110937.jpg) Cuando llegamos hasta el lago se encontraba lleno de calma, en unos barrotes algunas aves estaban posando, seguramente en busca de algún pez que comer, siempre me resultan fascinantes estos detalles, que aunque son muy comunes me emocionan como niña chiquita, sobretodo perder mi vista en el Lago de Maracaibo. ![20260308_111000.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWPjUMaSzb92dMKN8qKcPZgtJTQ4wbByumkUbcU1Bz32d/20260308_111000.jpg) ![20260308_111023.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZ2XXEyYzUMHHyryfy298xV7Vw31RfAQ4fDiujckh297Q/20260308_111023.jpg) ![20260308_111031.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQma2GRy9McZYChaBnoezTbZ59CLHoHBA33im3WguQZ1Ps5/20260308_111031.jpg) ![20260308_111119.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUwPCrvs6YSZoHcSkV2WHnWaaGBhmnvLNEY7TyJWksS6i/20260308_111119.jpg) ![20260308_111149.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYNUhZ2SqnwcZnVziU2mhaKVHFusWXeNBPjhomE8bs1SJ/20260308_111149.jpg) ![20260308_111048.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeLiSEMS1Ch3c5xN8rHpu1qKfZE5WBcGHa4yy3fjDSU26/20260308_111048.jpg) De regreso y un poco alejado de las caminerías, había un árbol de Trinitarias, me gustan mucho sus flores sobretodo si son las rosadas pálidas y encontrármelas aquí me dio la sensación de que todo lo que me gusta puedo encontrarlo a donde vaya y sacarme una sonrisa, son regalos que solo la naturaleza y la vida pueden presentarme. ![20260308_111245.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRaWFjZhKFRD2xy5KW6Ep981W7w14mmTFRu3tpqjn5qKD/20260308_111245.jpg) ![20260308_111249.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdJTsasPEiw4piaWNjaJ449Sh77iUy4nVehjWRjtFzgXv/20260308_111249.jpg) Nos fuimos del Paseo del Lago 3, fue para mi un enorme placer conocer esta etapa, me hubiera gustado tener unas fichas para jugar ajedrez aunque no sea tan buena en ese juego de mesa, espero que la próxima vez que regrese encontrar personas dentro del parque disfrutando de las actividades que pueden realizarse en sus espacios. ![20260308_111528.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSo8JxcGjBScrt2uiLzV7XxHm7qSFzaobTPZX7ujaiHw8/20260308_111528.jpg) --- Fotografías tomadas con un Samsung Galaxy A35.
