In the case of Parcur, there will be picnics, skateboarding for children, a rally with scouts and more. There will even be an excursion to the Snakes and Ladders area and a session in which children will be able to paint graffiti.
It doesn’t end there. At Los Pinos, activities will focus on cooking, the environment and even planting. Among other things, there will be a tortilla and amaranth cookie workshop. This is just a taste of what’s to come.
