Family, it is a pleasure to greet you after so long and to share with you a tourist sector of our state, being La Plazuela.
The state of Trujillo is wide family, it has a lot of fabric to cut as the grandparents say.
In the distance we see a colonial structure, being striking and attractive to admire, so much history in one place.
The past calls us to delight and expand our culture.
Its fallada is a magazine with a transcendental history, its attraction is the handmade mill, it is worth mentioning that we also find the headquarters of the Trujillo Tourism Corporation.
Once we pass the welcoming arch, we see a series of colonial houses, in spite of the time its state is preserved, whose road is made of river stone in all its route, you can imagine the time that has such a sector.
To get there, you need to have your own car, the means of transport in Venezuela is chaotic, if not the spare parts, then the fuel and so on.
If not, you can stay in front of it, where transport is more accessible, and admire the environment with Fernando, i.e. by walking.
When we are admiring, walking is our greatest distraction, where curiosity and discovery come together.
This locality, has the fortune to possess a church, whose name is the same as its sector the Plazuela, inaugurated in the year 1983 with neocolonial style, to which one accedes by means of a system of stairs from the main street, covered with terracotta in intact state, I could not enter to its enclosure was in operation cleaning.
Along the route we could observe a stable type construction, called estadero, where the inhabitants sit to enjoy the panorama and at the end of the road, we see a large house called the Capellanías, whose year of construction according to the date of construction is 1950.
Our liberator Simón Bolívar slept in this house during one of his trips to the Venezuelan Andes.
According to the natives, they say that at night chains ring out, how dark it is.
On the other hand, there is a square, whose image shows the figure of the General in chief Cruz Carrillo, in the surroundings we find inns and bars.
This sector connects the towns of Mocoy and San Lázaro without leaving aside the municipality of Bocono, known as the garden of Venezuela, it has the most beautiful flowers with a warm atmosphere.
Enchanted by the colonial constructions, in spite of being so primitive techniques they are still in force, they are relics of the environment, their construction materials, and their durability in time, their colours and mosaics.
What attracts me the most are the huge wooden doors and windows, without forgetting the tiles that give the unique touch to the four gabled roof.
Nowadays there are few houses of such magnitude in our country.
Preserving such structures takes work and community togetherness.
The dates provided in this post were acquired from the same place, as they have marble plaques identifying great characters, as shown in the image of General Cruz Carrillo, and even on the façade of the house you can admire the date of inauguration, as a mural.
I invite you to appreciate the place with your friends and family.
In spite of not being a very busy place, there is a warm atmosphere, with artisan bakeries, pastry shops and the most commercially important, the panela.
I used the translator deepl as my language is Spanish, the photos are my property.
