The Caribs and The Tree of the Dead

Well today I discovered after so much research this that I will share with you ...! 😀 This tree is located near the town of Chuao🌳🌳. There is a large area of plots of land, according to the legend that here lives an indigenous tribe called Los Caribes, which is attributed the defense of the territory long before the Spaniards arrived in these lands.

At that time, an intense and cruel war was unleashed where the Caribs fortunately came out victorious, resisted the colonization and salvation of the territory. It is also said that when Venezuela was founded and liberated, even the Caribs still supported the suffocating attacks, rapes and diseases provided by the black conquistadores and slaves.
