A few days ago I visited Leofling Park again, a place I have already talked about before in this community, but this time I am showing you another part of the park that I did not know, even though I was close to reaching this point before, but I did not imagine that it would be an interesting place to visit. It is about some wells and some small waterfalls, and it is because in this area of the park there are the rapids of the Caroní River in connection with the Macagua dam and of course there must be many wells and waterfalls, although personally at this point I did not know about some of them.
Previously I had reached what seemed like an entrance of pure stones, but at that moment I turned back, that day I continued my journey along the same path, I even thought of continuing walking as far as the path took me, but on one side I saw the entrance of stones again and without any knowledge of what to expect I decided to go among the stones. As you can see, they are large stones that make you think that at some point the river grows to the point of almost covering the stones. So I followed this stone path, being careful not to climb or step wrong, but in the end everything was perfect. There was a point where I was going to turn back but I heard a sound like a waterfall and I said to myself that there must be something very close, and just a few meters further I found some pools and some small waterfalls.
An almost virgin place to enjoy a moment with nature, excellent for taking a bath with pure water from the Caroní River, with pools where you can spend the night peacefully without worrying about certain water currents or even animals in the area. Without a doubt, the more I explore the park, the more interesting things I find. I have also heard that there are stones with petroglyphs, perhaps very old when in all these areas indigenous communities lived that do not exist today or at least I do not know of their existence.
On the other hand, I have set myself the goal of reaching La Llovizna Park from Leofling Park, although I do not know if there are land access points or at least points that connect, because I have seen from the map that there is mostly pure water in the surroundings, I have even thought of a way to get to Cachamay Island if it is possible. I have always heard from people who live nearby that all these parks are connected and can be traveled, but I do not know to what extent that is possible, because there are certain sectors that are prohibited from access because they are the custody of the Macagua dam and in turn the entity in charge of the dam, which has a large extension of protected areas either for their electrical installations or as strategic points of the dam.
On a future tour I hope to find at least the petroglyphs, and perhaps many will say that it is easier to ask a person who knows that place, but well, I don't know that person who knows that place and is willing to go, in addition to the fact that I like to explore and see it myself, in a certain way one feels as if we are discovering something that has not been seen by anyone else.
I don't know if these wells or rivers have names, but in itself it is not a very popular place for anyone, but in reality it is easy to get to. From the entrance of the Leofling park in Puerto Ordaz - Venezuela, it took me approximately an hour and a half to get to that point, of course passing all the trails in the park, and then accessing through a lagoon that goes around until reaching that stone entrance that would be the path to the wells.
