Remembering my travels throughout Venezuela and reviewing the data and images, I have been able to summarize a few curiosities of my Beautiful Country:

13.- One of the best cocoas in the world (Theobroma Cacao) is harvested.
14.- We Venezuelans are privileged to be able to enjoy, and without traveling, great distances, rivers, beaches, mountains, dunes, parks, snow, cold and heat.
