I have been fortunate to know so many places in Venezuela to have visited all the States of Venezuela and to know the majority of its national parks, it is difficult to highlight a site a specific one was the first thing that came to mind when I read about the challenge and that my blog here at steemit is dedicated to it to highlight the beauty of Venezuela and I found this post

whose author's introspective helped me with the final decision to choose Naiguata to highlight in the beauties of Venezuela. quoting the first sentence:
Is it possible to highlight a single place in Venezuela?
And the truth has been found impossible, because Venezuela is a geographically beautiful set with a very special culture and traditions. The top of Caracas Naiguatá peak, a very special place, one of my favorite places to go to meditate, my favorite summit, which I was the guide of many people, with the only motivation to observe through their eyes my first time in that place. The top of the Naiguatá has a unique and special view of Greater Caracas besides being able to also see the Varguense Litoral, the sunrises and sunsets from here are unique. a magic of colors that the truth will make you fall in love with the site. a site that few arrive because it takes some determination and effort to achieve the top.

You cross the line and you arrive at the Amphitheater the ideal place to camp and only a few minutes is the top of the Naiguatá Cross. A tour that marathoners can do in 2 hours, I achieve it in 4 without weight. of camping was from 6 to 8 hours depending on who accompanied me.
If you dare to venture to this peak and you do not know with whom to go, I can recommend you the people of Cafe Naiguata. and Matkun Montañista excellent guides and companions of adventure that, undoubtedly, you can find them on facebook. I assure you it will be worth all the effort to achieve the top.
