Today's walk took place a few months ago during my last visit to Bogotá. At that time, we were staying in an apartment very close to El Virrey Park, which I have mentioned on other occasions. Today's walk is not actually in the park itself, but rather on the footpaths that run alongside the Virrey Canal, which crosses several avenues in the city at Calle 88. It's a very tree-lined path, very pleasant for a walk, and I especially like the section of the path between Carreras 14 and 11 because, in addition to enjoying the trees and nature, there are also some very colorful murals that provide a nice contrast.
My husband and I took the walk I'm sharing with you today, not on a Wednesday but on a Monday holiday in August, hehe. But it's a nice walk to share with you on this #wednesdaywalk.
The morning was sunny, perfect for walking leisurely and enjoying the surroundings.
We took that walk slow to get a closer look at the colorful murals, which we had seen so many times but had never stopped to detail. The murals depict some of the nature that can be watch along this ecological trail.
Many portrait some of the bird species that can be seen in the surrounding area.
More than once, especially on Sundays, we have come across small groups of birdwatchers in this path.
Here the frog that caught my husband's attention.
More of the murals seen along the way.
We walked a few more blocks. There are no murals in this section of the path, but still a beautiful oasis of nature in the middle of a totally urbanized area.
It was mid-morning, and we usually ended our weekend morning walk with a coffee. This time we decided to go to Café Azahar, a nice café that wasn't too far away and that we could walk to.
In this coffeeshop, when you order one of their filter coffees, they bring you information about the origin and type of coffee bean you are going to drink. I love that about this place. As well as their orange and poppy seed cake, which is so tasty. It is subtle and not at all cloying. This cake has become one of my husband's favorites when we want to indulge our sweet tooth.
A perfect close for a nice walk.
