Parapara, Historical Town of Faith and beautiful Landscapes

Greetings, dear traveling friends, I hope you are well. It is a pleasure to be with you again, sharing a wonderful adventure through this great community. I was visiting a parish in the Juan German Roscio municipality, in the state of Guarico, which is called parapara. , and which is a little town full of spirituality, history, and beautiful landscapes that I will show you through the development of my content

The Parapara parish is located a little before reaching the capital of the Guarico state, exactly 30 kilometers away but which also belongs to this jurisdiction, it is a small town dedicated to livestock and planting, its architecture has remained in the past and there are many houses that we can see that are of colonial origin, since this town in its beginnings was a colony of Europeans

This is the house of culture which is the architectural heritage of this jurisdiction because its structure is made up of colonial architecture, because as we can see the roof, the polished windows plus large doors are characteristics of this type of construction and this mentioned house of culture have been maintained over time so that it retains its natural or rather initial form

Something that caught my attention was the way the civil registry office of this town was painted, which has a very striking color.

The church looks old but it has a beautiful design and it is in good condition of use and conservation. It shows that maintenance work has been done as well as painting and it is gratifying to see that these places give it proper maintenance to its conservation

In front of this church is Plaza Bolívar and in the middle of this plaza is the bust of Simón Bolívar, a Venezuelan who transcended history due to his role in the independence efforts of Venezuela.

In this place there was another Venezuelan who also transcended the history of the Guarico state. He was nothing more and nothing less than a military man and not just any military man was a general in chief, his name was Joaquín Crespo.

This general was president of Venezuela and until now he has been the only president who has left the guarico state, it seems incredible, doesn't it? But that's not what makes this story interesting.

This is the hacienda that belonged to General Joaquín Crespo to which he was rooted with his wife and felt great affinity for this place, so much so that the current government palace of Venezuela located in Caracas inherited the name of this hacienda which bears name miraflores, and it is the place of residence of the current president

I decided to explore its adjacencies and the rural roads of this town to be able to contemplate its geography and nature a little more thoroughly and have that direct contact with nature and be able to enjoy fresh air. I sincerely recommend that every time you have the opportunity To enjoy nature, do it because it is an activity that renews your strength and where you can breathe pure, fresh air.

So we arrived at a place with a mountainous relief that offers us beautiful landscapes that I will share with you below, I hope you like it and you can enjoy this direct contact with nature and its natural environment and its benefits.

This was the beginning of my little walk where I was able to observe the phenomenon of drought, and it seemed surprising to me how each place can vary depending on the weather season of the year.

This time of year gives a spectacular contrast to the landscapes of mountain relief which can be seen in the graph as majestic and imposing with the blue of the skies. In the same way, the heat of the sun is counteracted by the constant breeze that can vary from temperature according to the place where we are, if the place has trees the breeze is cool, but if there are no trees the wind is suffocating because it remains hot during these dry dates

It is a true visual spectacle to be able to contemplate the beauty of these landscapes that offer a mixed relief. In this place we can see how its geography is varied but its visual presentation is worthy of admiration.

This jurisdiction has high potential in terms of agricultural production, so it is common to see in every property or plot that we pass, livestock grazing in these places.

There are several places that give a special touch to these properties, such as this lagoon, which is a small pond of water. It is multipurpose because it is used for the production of fish of different species as well as for the livestock to drink the vital liquid and likewise. shape gives a touch of beauty to the place if what we want is to contemplate the place

What do you think of these kinds of landscapes? If you like to admire the plain, this is the ideal place to see how slopes, precipices, rivers, mountains and the great variety of flora and fauna that inhabit this region of the Guarico state are formed and deformed.

I like the way you can see the sky, which is completely clear and offers a spectacular view of all this beautiful natural landscape.

In many places I was able to observe how they are undergoing repair work on the perimeter fence at this time, due to the drought, the grasses become a very volatile fuel and high temperatures can cause a fire and this can endanger the perimeter fences. of this town if it is not given the necessary care they can catch fire

Following my exploration of the place I found another small body of water, this one looked a little deeper than the previous one and what I found interesting about this lagoon was that you could hear the fish hunting.

What I did notice a lot is that there are many times that I have to cross a river pass even though they were totally or partially dry.

There are plants that truly surprise me with their ability to withstand drought and remain just as beautiful in the place. These plants are ideal for decorating a garden, don't you think?

Here I show you a small reference so that you have an idea of how strong the summer is, this is the cause of the river which at this time is completely dry as a result of the drought.

During the walk I met these cows which were in a shade protecting themselves from the strong sun.

This heifer had the subtlety to pose for a close photo hahaha, I was a little nervous but I realized that she was super tame and I got quite close to her and captured the moment

This is how our walk through this jurisdiction ends, a parapara parish of the Juan German Roscio municipality, Guarico state, a town with a great history, cradle of presidents, a town with high devotion to the Catholic faith and which keeps many secrets from the colonial era.

This was all, appreciated friends, thank you very much for accompanying me between the lines on this wonderful tour of this jurisdiction, see you on the next trip
