Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Morning mist lifts off the central lake while cyclists and families carve paths through the lawns, and impromptu concerts and colorful picnics pop up under the trees. More than two million people visit each year, and weekends can swell with open-air concerts that feel as big as stadium shows.
Destaques: Each year the three-day Rock al Parque festival draws over 100,000 people, turning the wide central lawn into a sea of stage lights, thunderous bass, and the smoky scent of dozens of food stalls selling arepas and empanadas. On weekday mornings more than 400 locals, students, grandparents and bike messengers meet for free salsa sessions and an unofficial paddleboat parade, families drift in bright swan boats around the lake while laughter and reggaetón mix with the clack of oars.
