It was during a small trip in which I was able to see a part of the capital of my country (Venezuela) that I was always curious to see but that I could never really make a reality until 2017 that the opportunity to travel with a group of friends came to visit the most beautiful side that the big city was hided.
It was a very spontaneous trip that initially started as a work trip, with a group of friends from college, but then turned into a little vacation to relax and have a different time. The place I visit during that trip is located at the top of Caracas, it is the green lung of the city, "El Ávila". A few times in my life have I had the opportunity to visit a place as incredible as that hill.
To get up there, we had to take the cable car, which I feared greatly because I don't get along very well with heights; but after several minutes that the tour lasted, we reached the top and the whole city could be seen from above, it was the highest altitude experience I have experienced so far in my entire life.
But seeing the city from above was not what captivated me the most, but seeing the other side of the hill, a side that is hidden behind the façade of tall buildings and streets full of people rushing to reach their destinations, a side of beautiful nature and spaces to rest from all the noise of the city.
Seeing the bluer sky than before and the greener and more resplendent nature than ever, I could feel that I was not in that big city, I felt that I was in another place and it really looked like a separate place from the city but it was not like that .
From the top, I could appreciate what it is to really breathe, I felt calm and relaxed being there, I could see the clouds above me; I forgot for a moment that I had to get back on the cable car to return to the life that awaited me on the concrete floor. It was really beautiful to see so much nature in a city that has focused on modern spaces, it was beautiful to get to know a part of the city that not everyone can know and appreciate like I did.
