It is incredible how the Europeans, when they arrived in Venezuela, sailed through the lands of "Santa Rosa de Agua" which coincidentally is Maracaibo and noticed that it had a geographical and landscape appearance quite similar to Venice, so it is believed that the name of the country originated from there. During my stay in Maracaibo I couldn't stop visiting the town of Santa Rosa de Agua and reliving that image of those houses built in the water, do they still exist? accompany me!🧭🌍
Es increible como los Europeos cuando llegaron a Venezuela navegaron por las tierras de "Santa Rosa de agua" que casualmente es Maracaibo y notaron que tenia un aspecto geografico y paisajistico bastante similar a venecia, entonces se cree que de alli se origino el nombre del pais, en mi estancia por Maracaibo no podia dejar de visitar la localidad de Santa Rosa de Agua y revivir esa imagen de aquellas casas construidas en el agua, sera que aun existen? acompañame!🚙⛲⛵
First to the botanical garden🌼🌷🌍/Primero al jardin Botanico🚩
Before going to the village of Santa Rosa de Agua, we will first make a stop at another of the tourist places that Maracaibo has to offer, it is its tropical botanical garden, here I promised my wife that she would see a hummingbird for the first time, something that there In Portugal they do not exist, besides other plants and animals such as iguanas, the idea of the garden is to see how the environment and biodiversity change within a tropical country! We were very excited, the garden costs 2 dollars per person!🌏🚩🌷⛵
Antes de ir a la aldea de Santa Rosa de Agua primero haremos una parada a otro de los lugares turisticos que tiene Maracaibo para ofrecer se trata de su jardin tropical botanico, aqui le prometi a mi esposa que veria por primera vez un colibri cosa que alla en Portugal no existen, ademas otras plantas y animales como iguanas, la idea del jardin es ver como cambia el ambiente y la biodiversidad dentro de un pais tropical! estabamos muy emocionados, el jardin tiene un costo de 2dolar por persona!🚙🌍⛲
What a coincidence when we arrived at the park we saw several hummingbirds of various species and colors! some strange and large birds like Burhinus oedicnemus, a bird that has a strange sound and is emblematic of Venezuela! Something I did notice about the park is that it was clean but had a fairly dry environment. I don't know if it's because we are in the dry season in Maracaibo or lack of irrigation, could some Marabino answer this for me! It seemed interesting to spend a day with the family, fun, spacious and you can have a picnic!⛵🌷🌏
Que coincidencia al llegar al parque vimos varios colibris de varias especies y colores! algunas aves extrañas y grandes como Burhinus oedicnemus un ave que tiene un sonido extraño y emblematico de Venezuela! algo que si note del parque es que estaba limpio pero tenia un ambiente bastante seco no se si es porque estamos en epoca de sequia en Maracaibo o falta de riego, algun Marabino podria responderme esto! parecio interesante para pasar un dia en familia, divertido amplio y se puede hacer picnic!🌼🌾🦅🌻
Lotus lagoon🌼🌷🌍/Laguna de lotos🚩
japanese lagoon🍍🌅
This lagoon was created in 2015 and stands out in the center of the 3 hectares of the garden. In the lagoon we can photograph Koi fish, among others, as well as floating aquatic plants. I was reading that the flower pollinators of these plants are bees. specific! It was quite hot in the park, so I recommend sunscreen, and lots of water!🧭🌏👩🏫
esta laguna fue creada en el 2015 y se destaca en el centro de las 3 hectareas del jardin, en la laguna podremos fotografiar los peces Koi, entre otros asi como tambien plantas acuaticas flotantes, estuve leyendo que los polinizadores de flores de estas plantas son abejas especificas! estaba bastante calor en el parque por eso te recomiendo bloqueador, y mucha agua!🍍🚙
Comments on the Botanical Garden🌼🌷🌍/Comentarios sobre el Jardin Botanico🚩
I think in general terms the visit to the garden was fantastic, would I repeat the experience? I don't think so! They are one of those places that you only visit once, however we saw a number of birds and other animals unique to the country and tropical places! It had a huge parking lot and it was free, that is a plus, the entrance is not expensive, the location is privileged, close to the Maracaibo airport! This well protected important thing for tourists is 100% safe! As a negative point, the government could invest a little more money to make the space more pleasant and fun! We cannot demand either, let us remember that we are in a country that is going through a complicated political situation!🦅🌍🚩
Creo que formas generales la visita al jardin fue fantastica, repetiria la experiencia? creo que no! son de esos lugares para solo visitar una vez sin embargo vimos una cantidad de aves y otros animales unicos del pais y de sitios tropicales! tenia un enorme estacionamiento y gratis eso es un punto a favor, la entrada no es costosa, la localizacion es privilegiada proxima del aeropuerto de Maracaibo! esta bien protegida cosa importante para turistas es 100% seguro! como punto negativo el gobierno podria invertir un poco mas de dinero para hacer el espacio mas agradable y divertido! no podemos exigir tampoco recordemos que estamos en un pais que viene atravesando una situacion politica complicada! 🧭🌼🌏
The town where little Venice was born⛵🌍/El pueblo donde nace la pequeña Venecia🚩
Our adventure begins here in Santa Rosa de Agua, (10.711184, -71.597830) in this small city is where the name of Venezuela was born where the Europeans, when sailing on the waters of Lake Maracaibo, were surprised to see a picturesque landscape full of stilt houses. ! I looked for a guide known in the area who is called: "paito" he is the last Indian still alive, a descendant of the chief who ruled the village! He will tell us everything about the place and the indigenous people who inhabited the area!🧭🚩🌍
Nuestra aventura comienza aqui en Santa Rosa de Agua, (10.711184, -71.597830) en esta pequeña ciudad es donde nacio el nombre de Venezuela donde los europeos al navegar sobre las aguas del lago de maracaibo se sorprendieron al ver un paisaje pintoresco y lleno de palafitos! yo busque un guia conocido por la zona al cual le llaman: "paito" el es el ultimo indio que aun queda con vida descendiente del cacique que mandaba en la aldea! el nos contara todo lo referente sobre el lugar y sobre los indiginas que habitaron la zona!😨✍
The "Añu" tribe⛵🌍/La tribu "Añu"🧔🚩
The "Añu" tribe was the one that inhabited the lands for hundreds of years and currently our guide: "paito" is a direct descendant of the last Indian leader of the village! He told us as we walked in the main square that the Indians who lived in the stilt houses were from the strongest and most warlike tribe in Maracaibo, their main activity is and still continues to be fishing! According to our guide they participated against the Spanish in independence!🌅🧭

Inside the palafitos⛵🌍/Dentro de los palafitos🧔🚩
palafito = house built on the water🍍🌅
In Spanish: palafito = it is a house built on the water with wooden structures, that is, wooden posts! Currently, houses continue to be built on Lake Maracaibo! These houses are iconic of Venezuela and were a custom of the aborigines who lived on the shores of the lake, "Paito" the guide told us that they were built on the water because the "Añu" Indian was a fisherman and needed quick access to water since he fished. with wooden boats.🧭🌏👩🏫
En español: palafito= es una casa construida sobre el agua con estructuras de madera osea postas de madera! actualmente las casas continuan a construirse sobre el lago de Maracaibo! estas casas son iconicas de Venezuela y fue una costumbre de los aborigenes que habitaron las orillas del lago, "Paito" el guia nos comentaba que se hacian sobre el agua porque el indio "añu" era pescador y necesita acceso al agua rapido ya que pescaba con botes de madera.🍍🚙
What is it like to live inside a stilt house?⛵🌍/Como es vivir dentro de un palafito?🧔🚩
To live in a stilt house you have to be used to living in an environment where your landscape is only water, you should probably dedicate yourself to fishing or tourism! Nowadays many still fish and others receive tourists, there are quite a few restaurants that sell typical dishes from the area... Obviously it is fish or seafood! Drinking water services are scarce and they must buy it, the drainage system is literally the lake itself! There is currently a project to build canals and not contaminate the lake!🧭🌅
Para vivir en un palafito tienes que estar acostumbrado a vivir en un ambiente donde tu paisaje es solo agua, probablemente deberas dedicarte o a la pesca o al turismo! hoy en dia muchos aun pescan y otros reciben turistas, hay bastantes restaurantes que venden platos tipicos de la zona... Obviamente es pescado o marisqueria! los servicios de agua potable son escasos y deben comprarla, el sistema de desague literalmente es el propio lago! actualmente hay un projecto para construir canales y no contaminar el lago!🌏⛵
Local gastronomy⛵🌍/Gastronomia local🥧🧆🚩
We couldn't miss a national beer called "zulia" that is produced here in the state, it is refreshing and smooth! For $30 dollars we ordered a service of fried fish "courvina" for 4 people and 4 drinks with tips, I spent 38 dollars! Something that seemed economical to so many people, I brought salad, yucca and banana! We didn't want to order anything else because it was too much food!🐟🧆

Science under construction⛵🌍/La ciencia bajo la construccion🏠🚩
First we had to make a stop to visit what a mangrove looks like, which is like a tree with large roots that are found in tropical environments and estuaries. It is from this plant that the aborigines created all kinds of tools and accessories, including the material to build their house. trunk and root when dried the fiber is extracted! With the fiber of the mangrove tree the roof and other parts of the house are built and with the trunk the supports such as pillars and bases are produced! all built by hand by people with construction experience!🌾✍
Primero tuvimos que hacer una parada visitar como luce un manglar que es como un arbol con raices grandes que se encuentran en ambientes tropicales y estuarios, de esta planta es que los aborigenes crearon todo tipo de herramientas y accesorios inclusive el material para construir su casa el tronco y la raiz cuando se seca se extrae la fibra! con la fibra del arbol de manglar se construye el techo y otras partes de la casa y con el tronco se produce los soportes como pilares y las bases! todo construido a mano por personas con experiencia en construccion! 🌏🌾
