Retretas Nocturnas

Abstract

The image contains news about the start of the night retreats in Bolívar Park, which has been adequately illuminated with electric spotlights for the event. Last week, a retreat was held that attracted many Bogota residents, providing entertainment and music in a fresh and bright environment. The absence of ladies at the event stands out, considering that their presence would be an additional attraction. The article suggests that women's participation in these events could be indicative of the civilization and culture of the society. It is mentioned that the retreats will take place not only in Bolívar Park, but also in the Santander and El Centenario parks in the coming days, both equipped with their own electric light sources. These innovations are presented as important contributions to turning Bogotá into a truly civilized and cultured city. News published by the newspaper El Correo Nacional, No. 1859, April 12-1897.
