🥇 Hacienda Santa Teresa: rum, history and entertainment in El Consejo, Aragua state - Venezuela / Hacienda Santa Teresa: ron, historia y entretenimiento en El Consejo, estado Aragua - Venezuela by @sofathana

The hacienda also has social initiatives such as the Alcatraz Project, which was born in 2003 after a group of young people tried to rob a security inspector of the company. The police captured them and gave them the opportunity to choose between going to jail or paying their penalty by working on the hacienda. The young people accepted the job and others who belonged to the criminal gang also joined. Apart from their working hours they created a rugby team, a sport that helped them improve as people.

Sitting like children gazing in front of us at an immense and wonderful panorama, it seems that the horizon cannot be seen, it seems that the earth joins the sky.Despite the haze on the right, you can see the Pietra di Bismantova a rocky massif, another destination for tourists and especially climbers, who knows, maybe from there, they are watching us hahaha.

🥉 I Left my Heart in San Francisco by @storiesoferne

One of the eye-catching attractions of the urban area were the Trolleybuses that were part of the city's public transportation system. They were basically rubber-tired buses equipped with electric motors powered by overhead wires. It's an interesting sight and I saw a lot of them there. Plus on one occasion, I was fortunate to capture a photo of the city's iconic cable car system. It's known to be the world's last manually-operated cable car system.
