Parque del Agua is a park run by AMB, the public water company of Bucaramanga. It features channels of water surrounded by beautiful gardens.
Entrance
The entrance to the park is next to the main headquarters of AMB. It’s open Wednesday to Sunday. We visited on a Wednesday and admission was free, but we heard from locals that a fee is charged on weekends.
The Park
A path leads from the gates past the buildings and a concession stand to a boardwalk. There, you can see how nicely AMB has integrated the building into the gardens and water channels.
After walking along the boardwalk, the path takes you to a patio with a fountain and a view of the gardens.
From there, the path leads you along water channels to the lowest part of the park, where there are benches to sit and enjoy the scenery.
The boardwalk picks up and passes under a pedestrian bridge between the buildings. Along it is a pool of water full of fish and turtles. At the end is the first path that leads to the park entrance.
Conclusion
Parque del Agua is a little out of the way from the other attractions in the city, but it’s the most peaceful and pleasant park Bucaramanga has to offer. AMB has done a wonderful job putting together and caring for the gardens on their property, and it was our favorite place to visit while in the city.
