Those were the days of the commemoration of the Indigenous Resistance on October 2014. It was a trip to Pedernales town, capital of the municipality of the same name. Like most of the trips through the immense Orinoco Delta, it started from the city of Tucupita, capital of Delta Amacuro state.
More than 6 hours of navigation were waiting for us in our little, but secured boat. On the route through the pipes we would make some stops to learn about the social and material realities of some WARAOS villages, which is the ancestral ethnic group in those areas.
As expected, the villages were full of children, indigenous women and men. However, that beautiful, polychromatic and geographically diverse country - imagine which one is it? - always leaves room for surprises, and then, there in "Culebrita", the first of the villages we visited, suddenly a group of people, due to their appearance and physical features, highlighted among all that landscape

These were some fellow tourists, who also, to the surprise of some of us, were staying somewhere on the left bank of the pipes, but could not be seen from there. It was very nice to watch those women and men interested in knowing such distant and jungle places, to which many do not dare to go. The truth is that the impression of that encounter, for all these characteristics, was sown in our memory, and now we love to share it with all of you steemians friends!!
