Quiet, peaceful and really nice and green. And quite far away from the centre. 😀
I discovered the park that this post is about by chance. I was actually on my way to the area around the „lakes“, where there is also a path up to the lighthouse somewhere, from where you also have a really nice view of Guanajuato. – I didn’t find the path up to the lighthouse that day.
As life goes, you usually instead find something else. I that day passed numerous other interesting things on my way there. Including this park. Admittedly, I didn’t really notice it at first until I discovered a waterfall at the end of the park. It makes sense given the location and proximity to the „lakes“, but I hadn’t really thought about it. There also is a cute little bridge in the park and plenty of places to sit. And if you really wanted to get out into the ‘green’, have some peace and quiet and not be approached by anyone – which is not so easy as a white person in Latin America – I think this would be a place where you would be quite undisturbed. Because tourists might stray here from time to time, but I personally can’t actively remember another non-Latin American person.

Go or not? Yes and no. I would definitely take the route to the area and also up to the lighthouse, but I would rather take the park as an ad-on. And a little hint: the waterfall only really becomes a waterfall when it rains or has rained shortly before. It may be unfavourable weather-wise, but it does change into a quite different waterfall 😀
