Tourism & Travel / Peruvian doc about the area surrounding a property
Spanish term or phrase: recreo campestre
Hi,

This appears in the following context in a Peruvian document about the sale of two pieces of land, describing the surrounding area:

"Por otro lado, dentro de la zona en estudio, se encuentra una diversidad de centros de esparcimiento, entre clubes, recreos campestres y restaurantes, los mismos que se encuentran sobre la Carretera Central y la Av. California, la misma que conduce a la zona residencial del mismo nombre y zonas de esparcimiento en esta"

Thanks.

country park
Explanation:
If you are translating for the UK, I think this would be the best catch-all term. A recreation park to UK English ears suggests a park in a city with a football pitch and children's play area etc.

agree  Ximena Escudero: Hi! how are you? I think both option are good. In Uruguay and Argentina we use "country club" though they are private, so I think yours is a good option for UK english. Cheers, Ximena.

campground


Explanation:
It is what I see when I look at websites for "recreos campestres" in Google. They seem to be all in the country, with camping (perhaps caravan facilities), rustic restautrants and offer activities like fishing, rafting and horseback riding.
