Durante el viaje que hice a Jesús de Tavarangüe y las Ruinas, me volví a alojar en la ciudad del futuro, Encarnación. La visité nuevamente en menos tiempo de lo esperado, pero ésta vez ya conociendo la vida en la playa y una Costanera que enloquece a todos y enorgullece a los encarnacenos. Sinceramente para mí hoy, Encarnación es la ciudad veraniega. Tanto atrapa este lugar, que me quedé varado a propósito y por propia voluntad, dos días más de los que disponía, desde el 13 hasta el 17 de enero, enamorándome de sus calles, del Paraná, de los paisajes y sus atardeceres. Sin embargo, descubrí también un diamante en bruto que es Carmen del Paraná, con una playa y cultura hotelera completamente inexplorada. Vuelvan conmigo al sur, vamos a conocer las Costaneras de Itapúa. | During the trip I made to Jesús of Tavarangüe and the Ruins, once again I stayed on te city of the future, Encarnacion. I visited the city again in less time than expected, but this time knowing the life in the beach and one on the riverside path that drives everyone crazy and makes every citizen (from encarnacion) proud. Honestly for me today, Encarnacion is the summer city to be at. This city is so luring, that I got stuck on purpose by choice for 2 days more then I was suppouse to, from the 13th to the 17th of January, falling in love with the streets, the views, the sunsets and the beautiful Parana. None the less , I also discover a rough diamond that is Carmen del Parana, with a beach and hotel culture completely unexplored. Join me down south, and lets us meet the Riverside paths of Itapua. |
16:35 - Like my previous post about Encarnacion, I repeted the history but this time during day time. The church on the Southern Pearl, is also an attractive and visible point from the riverside path, due to its location.
At any given time during the day, young kids and adults take advantage of the beach for sports.
A lifeguard watching the activities around the beach during the afternoon. One company explodes the services of the beach, granted by the municipality, offering cleaning stuff, bathrooms, lifeguards, and stands selling food and drinks.
01:22 - Taking advantage of the night after our return from the Ruins, the time during the late night doesn’t seem to pass, and people still walk around and enjoy the breeze in San Jose.
One of the food and drinks stands on the beach, with comfortable hammocks to get carried away by the sound of the calming water. Like I wrote in twitter, unlike Camboriú, here have vacancy, and is a place where my Guaranies get accepted.
02:17 - Lucas, a magician from Pergamino who works for Pirata Bar share moments with people on the beach, dressed like Jack Sparrow, because in the next day there will be a party at the riverside, organised by the disco.
19:39 - Saturday, after my return from Jesus of Tavarangüé, once again I get around to the place of the moment. The most beautiful views often every evening is offered on the beaches from Encarnacion: the sunset, where we are privileged to have the Sun for longer hours, unlike Posadas
19:44 - A young man having fun on the Bungee Trampoline installed on the beach.
The sun begins to close its day, and the beach still offers the cool waters. The schedule is goes until 20:00 pm, after that, people go at their own risk.
19:57 - That night there was a exhibition of Ferrari in the Dark Dog Motor Show Racing Day, and many had the opportunity to be photographed with this three amazing vehicles.
One of these cars will race in the FIA GT3 category, where a fellow Paraguayan is leading the Italian team. The others are older models used until 2011 for Ferrari.
The Ferrari model 458 is the one that will be run for the Paraguayan Danny Candia.
One of the vehicles speeds along the riverside path to the Sambodromo, where there exhibits will be made.
Muchas gracias por tu compañía leyendome, espero que te haya gustado este pequeño recorrido de dos ciudades que tienen mucho para explotar, y hacernos sentir orgullosos de nuestra tierra y nuestras playas. Agradezco a toda la gente con quienes me encontré en Encarnación en la costanera, en la fiesta de Pirata, a todos aquellos que decidieron detenerse unos segundos y compartir palabras, un saludo, una fotografía conmigo, me hicieron sentir muy especial y eso es lo lindo de nuestra gente. Encarnación y Carmen del Paraná en el futuro serán ese punto fijo para visitar en el verano, por la hospitalidad de su gente, por la belleza de sus paisajes, y por lo que a mí más me gusta: no es necesario cambiar nuestros guaraníes por una moneda extranjera. Carmen del Paraná es otra ciudad que necesita de inversión, y necesita de carmeños que se animen a abrir tiendas, locales comerciales, lugares de entrentenimiento y sano esparcimiento. Si bien la EBY les concedió tu tan ansiada Costanera, luego dejó muchos proyectos en blanco y sin terminar, razón por la que la propia Municipalidad tuvo que ponerse a la altura de la belleza, y colocar boyas en la playa, basureros, etc. Aún le falta a Carmen del Paraná mayor inversión, pero sin dudas es otro punto turístico atractivo, donde sinceramente para mí, era como sentirme cerca del mar. Ojalá, aprovechemos las costas de nuestras ciudades como se hizo aquí, aún queda trabajo en Yguazú, Hernandarias, Puerto Antequera, Concepción, inclusive Asunción, maravillosos lugares de nuestro hermoso país, donde siempre estuvimos acostumbrados a dar la espalda al río, haciéndola zonas marginales, y que ahora irónicamente serán las más caras y exclusivas. | Thank you very much for accompanying me, I hope you enjoyed this little journey of this two cities that has a lot to explore, and made us feel proud of our land and our beaches. I want to thanks to all the people which I meet in Encarnación in the riverside, in the party of Pirata, to everyone which decided to stop a minute on their lives and share words, a greeting, a photography with me, all of you make me feel special and that's the beauty of our people. Encarnacion and Carmen del Parana in the future will become the peak spot to visit during the summer, for the hospitality of its people, for the beauty of the landscape, and so far my favorite thing about it is that we dont need to exchange our Guaranies for another currency. Carmen del Parana is another city that needs to be inverted on, and needs people that dares to open stores, shops, and places of entrainment and healthy recreation. While EBY granted the long awaited cost, then left many unfinished projects, reason why the municipality itself had to step up to the beauty, and place buoys on the beach, trashcans, etc. Carmen del Parana is still missing investment, but without a doubt is another attractive touristic spot. Where honestly for me, feels like being close to the sea. Hopefully, we will take advantage of our coastal cities, how it was done here, there is sitll work to do en Yguazu, Hernandarias, Puerto Antequera, Concepcion, and even Asuncion. Amazing places from our beautiful country, where we got used to turn our backs to the river, making it marginal zones, and that now ironically will become the most expensive and exclusives. |
