Entender la historia a veces es complicado o poco atractivo cuando sólo tenemos acceso a ella a través de libros, pero cuando existe la posibilidad de asistir a un lugar que la recrea, la experiencia es diferente y absorbemos mejor el conocimiento, o al menos así lo creo yo.
Venezuela and its capital Caracas have many places where you can learn about its rich and glorious history of independence, one of them is the one I present below, the Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Park or as it is popularly known: Parque del Este (East Park).
Venezuela y su capital Caracas tienen muchos lugares en donde puedes aprender de su rica y gloriosa historia independentista, uno de ellos es el que les presento a continuación, el Parque Generalísimo Francisco de Miranda o como se le conoce popularmente: el Parque del Este.
There, in an artificial lagoon is anchored a replica of the Leander Ship, the one used by the Venezuelan hero Francisco de Miranda in his first expedition to the country in 1806 with which he sought to act to liberate the countries of the region from the Spanish crown.
Allí, en una laguna artificial se encuentra anclada una réplica del Buque Leander, el barco que usó el prócer venezolano Francisco de Miranda en su primera expedición al país en 1806 con la cual buscaba accionar para liberar a los países de la región de la corona española.
In New York he had obtained the economic resources to undertake this task, which allowed him to rent this ship which he baptized Leander and disembark in Venezuela with hundreds of men, and also to bring the proposal of a national flag, which is the tricolor (yellow, blue and red) that identifies the country to this day.
En Nueva York había conseguido los recursos económicos para emprender esta tarea, lo que le permitió alquilar este buque el cual bautizó como Leander y desembarcar en Venezuela con cientos de hombres, y además traer la propuesta de una bandera nacional, que es el tricolor (amarillo, azul y rojo) que identifica al país hasta hoy día.
This replica of the also called "Liberty Ship" was inaugurated on October 12, 2011 and since then it has become one of the main attractions of Parque del Este. It was built in real size and with materials used at the time, such as carob and teak wood. Inside and outside, the guides explain the history and show visitors the areas of the ship recreated with props such as the soldiers' uniforms, the printing press brought to spread the emancipation message, ammunition, cannons, among other interesting objects.
Esta réplica del también llamado "Buque de la Libertad" fue inaugurada el 12 de octubre de 2011 y desde entonces se convirtió en una de las principales atracciones del Parque del Este. Fue construida en tamaño real y con materiales que se utilizaban en aquella época como la madera de algarrobo y teca. En su parte interna y externa los guías explican la historia y le muestran a los visitantes las áreas del barco recreadas con utilería como los uniformes de los soldados, la imprenta que trajo para difundir el mensaje emancipador, municiones, cañones, entre otros interesantes objetos.
The most exciting part of this visit that brings you closer to the beginnings of the Venezuelan Independence process seemed to me to be stepping on the bow and touching the rudder, it makes you imagine more clearly what those days were like, perhaps navigating in turbulent waters and with very ambitious and risky ideas to materialize.
Lo más emocionante de esta visita que te acerca a lo que fueron los inicios del proceso de Independencia de Venezuela me pareció que fue pisar la proa y tocar el timón, te hace imaginar más nítidamente lo que fueron esos días navegando quizás en aguas turbulentas y con ideas muy ambiciosas y arriesgadas de materializar.

Always in my plans when I go to Caracas, is to visit this park, but there are always some unforeseen events that do not give me a chance, I hope another time to go exclusively to visit this place and to photograph it. Greetings !
This park is one of my favorite places in Caracas, I've visited it since I was a child, maybe that's why I also have a special affection for it.
Of course, this is a great place to take pictures! The limit is only your creativity hehehe, I hope you go there soon and bring us your look!

Dear @sofathana, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got an important support from the community. However, it lost its funding few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency,
