Hello dear hive community! 😉
¡Hola querida comunidad de hive! 😉
Today I want to make a confession, it turns out that I am from the city of Barquisimeto, a beautiful town located in the center west of Venezuela that has an incredible culture, a divine gastronomy and beautiful people; it also has several emblematic sites among one of them the Botanical Park El Cardenalito, which despite living in this city I had never visited, so I decided to go for the first time to this park and I want you to know it through me.

To begin with I want to tell you that the Parque Botánico El Cardenalito, is a place you can not miss if you ever come to Barquisimeto, as he is emblematic of our city and consists of beautiful natural gardens that are ideal for a walk, exercise or relax for a while. This beautiful place is located at the exit of the city to the east and although it is not known specifically when it was founded, it is known that it was restructured in 2007 but the existence of the park dates back years.
This beautiful garden has about 1500 square meters, basically consists of gardens and walkways, where you start a tour from the bottom right where there is a flower stand. At the beginning of the tour we can appreciate different plants and wild animals typical of the state, in fact the name cardenalito, comes from the native bird of the state, a creature in red color that represents us and that from time to time we can see flying through this park.
As we continue along the paths, the first thing we can see is a large cage where initially there were several cardinals, but this time it was empty; as we continue with the tour we arrive at the train, it is the simulation of a train car where at first there was an ice cream shop, but now there is a fast food restaurant that has become quite famous in the region, first because their kitchen is inside the car and second because they sell some delicious pepitos, you can also find desserts, drinks, ice cream and coffee.
As we continue walking, we can find a colorful sign that says "Parque el Cardenalito" and it is a perfect place to take the respective souvenir photos, those images that you will keep in your heart and that will always remind you of the moment you visited this beautiful place.
If we continue walking we will continue enjoying beautiful colors in terms of vegetation and also on one side we will see the main highway of the city called Cimarron Andresote, which communicates Barquisimeto with the capital city, Caracas. Also as we continue walking we will arrive to the first monument inside the park a big cuatro, which is a musical instrument similar to a guitar that uses four strings and is used in most of the folkloric rhythms of our country, specifically the tamunangue which is a traditional dance of the state of Lara, which makes the cuatro representative for us guaros.
Next after the four is "La Tinaja" is a large vessel made by hand, she is an icon in our state because it represents us as the craft capital of Venezuela that we are, because in this state specifically in the towns of Quibor and Tintorero can be found a large number of crafts.
Finally, when we approach the top of the park we will first find a gym, which has various machines so that people can go and exercise without any problem and at the end is the monumental brick sign that says Barquisimeto, that beautiful architecture that welcomes you to the city and that when we guaros see it fills our hearts with pure pride, excitement and joy to know that we came to our land.
