Tourist Review: Orinokia Mall - The popular shopping centre of Puerto Ordaz [ENG/ESP]
Hello to everyone in the Worldmappin community! Today I'm here to share with you a new touristic tour of the state of Bolivar, Venezuela, so this time it's about one of the most modern shopping malls in the city of Puerto Ordaz, the Orinokia Mall. In previous opportunities I have talked about this building but with a sense more focused on its architecture, history or photography. Today I will show you some of the things you can find inside the place as it offers a great variety for everyone. So let's get started.
Orinokia Mall functions as a shopping centre that divides its spaces according to various names that have to do with some of the minerals that can be found in the state of Bolivar. Regardless of this, in each of these spaces you will find everything from department stores to food shops. If you need to get electrical appliances you have Daka, if you want to furnish your house there is Simmons, for any medicine, varieties for personal hygiene, beauty and so on, there is Farmatodo, for toys there is Super Toys, for movies there is Cines Unidos, for printing and everything related to stationery there is ImprePide, and a few other things, although one of the most essential, the food fair, is the food market.
¡Hola a todos en la comunidad de Worldmappin! El día de hoy me uno por acá para compartir con ustedes un nuevo recorrido turístico del estado Bolívar, Venezuela, por lo cual en esta oportunidad se trata sobre uno de los centros comerciales más modernos de la ciudad de Puerto Ordaz, el Orinokia Mall. En anteriores oportunidades he hablado sobre este edificio pero con un sentido más bien centrado en su arquitectura, historia o fotografía. Hoy les enseñaré algunas de las cosas que pueden encontrar dentro del lugar ya que ofrece gran variedad para todos. Así que comencemos.
Orinokia Mall funciona cómo un centro comercial que divide sus espacios según varios nombres que tienen que ver con algunos de los minerales que se pueden encontrar en el estado Bolívar. Independientemente de ello, en cada uno de esos espacios encontraremos de todo, desde tiendas por departamentos a locales de comida. Si necesitan hacerse con electrodomésticos tienen a Daka, si quieren amueblar su casa está Simmons, para cualquier medicamento, variedades para el aseo personal, belleza y demás, está Farmatodo, para juguetes está Super Toys, para películas esta Cines Unidos, para impresiones y todo lo relacionado a la papeleria está ImprePide, y algunas otras cosas más, aunque una de las mas esenciales, la feria de comida.
As i visited the place over the weekend, it was packed; full of people here and there. I think that despite the fact that in general, things in Puerto Ordaz are a bit more expensive than elsewhere in the country (at least from my perspective and experience), many of the locals choose to visit the mall as a means of recreation because of its wide variety of shops. I also do the same from time to time, although I am not a mall lover, but there is the only place where they show movies and so I take the opportunity to walk around the place. There is also an arcade area where you can play video game machines. Those are my two favourite things to do. Plus the food fair, where you could find the old Conga fast food stall. They were very good.
Although I don't want to talk too much about its architecture, I think it is at least relevant to mention that the place is quite spacious, has only one continuous floor (only one underground) and was formerly the longest shopping mall in Venezuela. Which says a lot about its planning. As additional data the mall operates every day of the week and is open from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm, as the cinema and the new party area they opened allows for extended opening hours. So in Orinokia you can find everything for all ages, as there are many spaces dedicated to children's recreation. And from time to time there is an event that can bring the whole family together. Finally, without further ado, thank you very much for stopping by. I send you a big hug.
Cómo visite el lugar durante el fin de semana, este se encontraba repleto; lleno de personas por aquí y por allá. Creo que a pesar de que en general, las cosas en Puerto Ordaz son un poco más costosas que en cualquier otra parte del país (al menos desde mi perspectiva y experiencia), muchos de los guayaneses optan por visitar el centro comercial como un medio de recreación por su gran variedad de locales. También hago lo mismo de vez en cuando, aunque no soy una amante de los centros comerciales, pero ahí está el único lugar dónde transmiten películas y así aprovecha a dar una vuelta por el lugar. Aunque también está una zona de arcade dónde se puede jugar en máquinas de videojuegos. Son mis dos cosas favoritas. Además de la feria de la comida, dónde se encontraba el antiguo puesto de comida rápida Conga. Eran muy buenos.
Aunque no quisiera hablar mucho sobre su arquitectura, considero que al menos es relevante mencionar que el lugar es bastante amplio, posee una sola planta continua (solo un subterráneo) y anteriormente era el centro comercial más largo de Venezuela. Lo cual dice bastante sobre su planificación. Cómo datos adicionales el centro comercial funciona todos los días de la semana y está abierto de 9:00 am hasta las 12:00 pm, ya que el cine y el nuevo área de fiestas que inauguraron permite extender el horario. Por lo que en el Orinokia podrán encontrar de todo y para todas las edades pues hay muchos espacios dedicados a la recreación de los niños. Y de vez en cuando algún evento que pueda reunir a toda la familia. Finalmente, sin más que decir, muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí. Les envío un fuerte abrazo.
