Until I finally arrived at one of the spots in La Llovizna Park, which I'd heard about months ago, and despite all the times I'd been there, I hadn't been to that spot. It's known as Pozo Escondido, which I'd been very close to before, perhaps a few meters away, but on those occasions, due to time constraints, I had to return from where I'd arrived. This spot is reached by walking from the park entrance for approximately 45 minutes, an easy route through its access via paved roads all the way through the jungle.
This pool is located in the middle of a large forest and is located in what to me looks like a small dam, or I don't know what the purpose of that stone staircase-like construction was, along with paths surrounding the river made of pure stones. Well, in reality, it's a small river, and you can take a dip there, but that wasn't what I wanted to do because I'm really unfamiliar with this place. It's located a little further ahead from one of the park's beaches, although it was completely flooded by the river's flooding, obscuring the entire area where the sands of these beaches can be seen. There's so much water that it almost overflows the paved road.
Beyond this pool or river, you can continue walking, passing over a bridge that connects to other trails that border the entire park. According to the Google map, it's a route that ends near the park entrance, although of course it would take perhaps an hour or even much longer for the entire route shown on the map. While this area isn't very popular with visitors, with the exception of a cyclist who passed me by, who of course must be much faster to travel this entire area by bike, I would definitely like to do it in the future; it would be simply magnificent.
Now that I've been to this place, I think I know maybe 70% of the park, or maybe a little less. I still need to explore several sections where I can see another view of the area, in addition to all the small islands that connect, to the point where I can reach the other park called Leofling. But first, I'll have to walk through the entire stretch of Cachamay Island, which is estimated to be a long stretch of walking a few kilometers.
After passing the well, I ask to walk almost 1 more kilometer along the trails, where I could appreciate the beauty of the entire Caroní River and La Llovizna, as well as feel that harmony with nature that is obviously present everywhere: large trees, among various species of vegetation, as well as the presence of many species of animals that are not normally visible in the vast forest, making it difficult to perceive those animals.
On a future visit, I plan to follow that same route. I think I'll find places with perfect views of the Macagua Dam, which is very close by, as everything is connected to other parks, such as Leofling and Cachamay. Therefore, the planning for all of these parks includes road connections between paved roads, although only authorized personnel working in the parks and those working on the dam are allowed to drive on these roads.
