A paradise to discove

In this first installment of The Magical World, I want to thank this beautiful digital platform "Hive" and all who are part of it. I feel very grateful for being "Hive!" a window to show my magical world that comes full of surprises and travel, this time we will travel through Venezuela, an Amazonian tropical zone that borders several countries in the region such as Brazil, Colombia, Islands from the Caribbean. Area of mineral and natural resources that are part of this battered spaceship called Earth.


Venezuela is a land of friendly people, with beautiful faces, with a desire to live, who give themselves the opportunity to smile and dream to the fullest despite their internal problems and the hardships they live day by day.

A paradise to discover

On the northern shore of South America, where the continent meets the Caribbean Sea, a mosaic of landscapes called Venezuela awaits the traveler eager for discovery. Christopher Columbus, a Genoese sailor appointed Admiral by the Spanish Crown, arrived on these shores in 1498: he would be the first European to marvel at the natural beauties of this region, to the point of writing that he believed he had reached "paradise on earth". Eden was specifically what is known today as the coast of the Gulf of Paria, located between the peninsula of the same name in the state of Sucre and the island of Trinidad. Right where the gigantic Orinoco delta begins, which dumps its sweet and sedimentary waters into the Atlantic. Of all the Latin American countries, Venezuela is perhaps the one with the most strategic geographical position: it is the perfect crossroads for travelers who want to know Hispanic America. The Venezuelan coast faces the Caribbean and the Atlantic, and is a neighbor of the Central American isthmus and the Gulf of Mexico, which is why this country has sometimes been called the balcony of South America.

The supreme gift that Venezuela has in store for the visitor is the landscape.

It is an Andean country, because two branches of the great South American orogenic spine are going to die in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Mérida and the Sierra de Perijá. It is llanero, with its vast floodplains. Mountainous and jungle is shown with the foothills of the central mountain range and, definitely Caribbean, a country of beaches, with the indescribable blues of its archipelagos or the greens of its coastlines lined with palm trees. This range of contrasts also has some superlatives to offer: the highest waterfall in the world, the Angel Falls; the Guiana Massif, the mainland since the formation of the planet; Guanoco, the largest natural asphalt lake in the world; the Orinoco, the third largest river in the world; the great vertical chasms of Jaua and Sarisariñama, in Bolívar state; the longest coastline in the Caribbean and the largest lake in South America, that of Maracaibo. Venezuela also offers rarities, such as the only natural channel that connects two hydrographic basins, the Casiquiare arm, in the Amazon state; Its plains are home to the largest rodent mammal in the world: the chigüire or capybara (Hydrochaeris hydro-chaeris) and its forests and rivers are the habitat of impressive anacondas snakes. In alliance with nature, the hand of man has shaped new landscapes...
