I've always loved walking and, of course, taking photographs. I didn't have a camera since I was a child, which allowed me to capture many beautiful scenes among the places I've visited. I also enjoyed living in a camp in a town called Los Pijiguaos, practically in the middle of the jungle. It was a place with abundant vegetation and impressive landscapes. But, as I said, I never carried a camera back then, and I haven't been to that area for about 18 years now, although I always think about visiting the town where I grew up for a part of my life.
However, I currently live in a city that shares almost the same characteristics as the aforementioned town. The big difference is that this city is much larger and more populated, but with a certain amount of vegetation that contrasts with the city and the countless parks. This is exactly what I show in these photographs, which are part of my route between Cachamay Park and Leofling Park. This is always part of my photography routine, as is partly the exercise of those long walks I usually take in these places.
Without a doubt, it's always a different experience every time I take these walks in these parks. I often discover new paths, new corners where the beauty of nature's deepest roots is revealed, among tall trees and exotic vegetation. At times, I encounter local animal species that continue to thrive in these places, despite human intervention. Yet, even so, these parks still preserve much of the essence of nature.
All photographs are my own.
