Years ago, several years ago, during the summer season, it was common to take school children on walks in the countryside "to breathe fresh air," as we used to say. Over time, green spaces have become scarce. In Cajamarca, the few remaining natural spaces have been converted into private sports fields. Parks and gardens are almost always littered with dog excrement, plastic bags, empty bottles and other rubbish.
Nowadays, if we want to take the children to a different, pleasant place, we have to travel and pay a hefty fee to enjoy a beautiful environment, where we can find small forests, gardens with lots of flowers, small farms, cobbled paths and other attractions.
In other words, what we used to find in many places in our beloved town is now only accessible if we pay to enter, because the most beautiful of nature is enclosed within high walls.
