Hello steemit I am Johan Venezuelan by birth, for reasons of time I could not make my introduction so I took advantage of the weekend to make a walk to the Waraira National Park repano and thus make some pictures for my introduction
El Ávila National Park (officially known as Waraira Repano National Park) is a national park located in the Cadena del Litoral in the Costa de la Costa mountain range, in the center-north of Venezuela, it extends from Caracas (Capital District), and all the northern state of Miranda and the southern state of Vargas.
In 1958 it is declared a national park. This mountainous formation is the vegetable lung of the city and within it different activities can be carried out as it is one of the main attractions of the capital of Venezuela in heights that vary from 120 to 2765 meters above sea level, in Naiguatá Peak. El Ávila National Park offers multiple trails to its visitors, which can be done by car, cable car or simply by walking

The Park takes its name, both the traditional "El Ávila National Park", from the hill that dominates the city of Caracas, which was known by the original inhabitants of the valley of Caracas, of Carib ethnicity, as Guaraira Repano, which means "Sierra Big". Others claim that the correct word was wariarepano meaning "place of tapirs", due to the large number of mammals of this species that populated the mountains. The first time that the name "Ávila" appears as such is in 1778, as recorded in the Acts of the Cabildo de Caracas. Before that date, the mountain was known as "the Sierra del Norte", "the Mountain to the Sea", or "the other side of the hill". The name of Ávila is due to the Governor Geronimo de Ávila, who owned 1600 of some orchards in the mountainous area at his feet. When he died in 1795, his sons inherited their land and everyone in Caracas already knew it as the Sierra de los Ávila or Cerro de Ávila. Hence the true origin of the name of the hill. The Gabriel de Ávila, repeated again and again by several historians, has no historical basis, nor evidence of any kind. It is also estimated that this name will be strengthened, since Caracas is located in a valley and this mountain is comparable to a wall, the name "Avila" refers to the Spanish city of Avila, known for its medieval walls.5
