Había dejado atrás el casco histórico de Coro, una ciudad colonial con sus calles de piedra y casas de arquitectura histórica que son Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Mientras avanzaba por la carretera que lleva a la salida para Caracas, el paisaje comenzó a transformarse de manera drástica. De pronto, la vegetación se abrió para dar paso a una vasta extensión de dunas. El contraste no podía ser más impactante: a solo kilómetros de una ciudad histórica y de la costa, se alzaba este desierto de dunas móviles, algunas alcanzando alturas de hasta 40 metros.
El sol era intenso, y el viento, un personaje constante en esta historia, ya empezaba a hacerse sentir. Ese viento es, de hecho, el escultor incansable de este paisaje, modelando y remodelando las dunas cada día, lo que significa que nunca verás el parque de la misma manera dos veces. El silencio, solo interrumpido por el susurro del aire moviendo los granos de arena y uno que otro visitante, crea una atmósfera de paz profunda que te envuelve.
Caminar sobre la arena suave y fresca de los médanos es una experiencia sensorial completa lo hice descalzo para no llenar luego el carro de arena. Cada paso se hunde levemente, y el esfuerzo por ascender a la cima de una duna se ve como una misión imposible. Desde lo alto, las dunas parecen olas gigantes congeladas en medio de su movimiento, con crestas afiladas y curvas suaves creadas por el caprichoso viento.
Para esta comunidad de Hive WorldMapping, este lugar es una joya por documentar, yo en mi estancia en el estado Apure no pude visitar unos que dicen que existen llamados Dunas del Capanaparo pero la vida me lo compensó trayendome hasta aquí.

My first encounter with the Coro Dunes was one of those experiences that redefines your perception of a place. I was leaving Falcón state in Venezuela on my way back to Caracas. Falcón is a state I associated with Caribbean beaches and verdant mountains, and suddenly, before me, stretched a sea of sand dunes that looked like a fragment of the Sahara deposited on the Falcón coast. The feeling was surreal. For our community of travelers at Hive WorldMapping, this is a destination that seems tailor-made: a unique landscape, full of contrasts and perfect for photography. Today, I want to take you along on this journey so you can add this national park to your personal map.
I had left behind the historic center of Coro, a colonial city with its cobblestone streets and historic houses that are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As I drove along the highway leading to Caracas, the landscape began to transform dramatically. Suddenly, the vegetation gave way to a vast expanse of dunes. The contrast couldn't have been more striking: just kilometers from a historic city and the coast, this desert of shifting dunes rose up, some reaching heights of up to 40 meters.
The sun was intense, and the wind, a constant presence in this story, was already beginning to make its presence felt. That wind is, in fact, the tireless sculptor of this landscape, shaping and reshaping the dunes every day, meaning you'll never see the park the same way twice. The silence, broken only by the whisper of the air moving the grains of sand and the occasional visitor, creates an atmosphere of profound peace that envelops you.
Walking on the soft, cool sand of the dunes is a complete sensory experience. I did it barefoot so as not to fill the car with sand later. Each step sinks slightly, and the effort to climb to the top of a dune seems like an impossible mission. From above, the dunes resemble giant waves frozen mid-motion, with sharp crests and gentle curves sculpted by the capricious wind.
For this Hive WorldMapping community, this place is a gem waiting to be documented. During my time in Apure state, I wasn't able to visit some dunes that are said to exist, called the Capanaparo Dunes, but life compensated me by bringing me here.
