After climbing Las Tetas hill, in Tinaquillo, we returned to the tourist stop where we had left our luggage and there we boarded Jeeps to continue the trip to another part of Cojedes state, La Sierra.
Luego de subir al cerro Las Tetas, en Tinaquillo, volvimos al parador turístico donde habíamos dejado nuestro equipaje y allí abordamos unos Jeeps para continuar el viaje hacia otra parte del estado Cojedes, La Sierra.
The guides and drivers mounted our backpacks and suitcases on the roofs of the Jeeps and we the 27 people in the group were distributed among the three available vehicles.
Los guías y conductores montaron nuestras mochilas y maletas en los techos de los Jeeps y las 27 personas del grupo nos distribuimos entre los tres vehículos disponibles.
We were told that the ride was a bit long and bumpy, mostly because it goes up into the mountains and there are parts of the road that are in bad shape. The trip started at about 6:20 pm, and about an hour later we arrived at the first village.
Nos dijeron que el trayecto era algo largo y movido, más que todo porque va en ascenso hacia las montañas y hay partes de la carretera que están en mal estado. El viaje comenzó más o menos a las 6:20 de la tarde, y como una hora después llegamos al primer pueblo.
We were asking the driver the names of the places, we passed through Vallecito, Manrique (where we made a brief stop) and finally, a little before 8:00 pm, we arrived at La Sierra, where we stayed for the three days that this trip lasted. This town is located in the northwest of Cojedes state, San Carlos municipality, at about 1100 meters above sea level.
Le íbamos preguntando al conductor los nombres de los lugares, pasamos por Vallecito, Manrique (donde hicimos una breve parada) y finalmente, un poco antes de las 8:00 pm, llegamos a La Sierra, donde nos quedamos durante los tres días que duró este viaje. Esta población se encuentra en el noroeste del estado Cojedes, municipio San Carlos, a unos 1100 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
We stayed at the posada El Amanecer, where there are shared rooms for 12 people and also the option to sleep in hammocks and tents. There are bathrooms and showers for everyone and they also offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. I stayed in a tent, as soon as we arrived I went to the camping site to choose space and set up my shelter, it was already dark but there were some light bulbs illuminating those areas. Then I took a bath, I had something for dinner that I had brought and went to sleep.
Nos alojamos en la posada El Amanecer, allí hay habitaciones compartidas para 12 personas y también la opción de dormir en hamacas y carpas. Hay baños y duchas para todos y también ofrecen desayunos, almuerzos y cenas. Yo me quedé en carpa, apenas llegamos fui al lugar de acampada para elegir espacio y armar mi refugio, ya era de noche pero había unos bombillos iluminando esas áreas. Luego me bañé, cené algo que había llevado y a dormir.
We had been told not to miss the sunrise, so I was on standby to see it, and since I almost always get little sleep when I stay in a tent, I don't even need an alarm to wake up.
Nos habían dicho que no debíamos perdernos el amanecer, así que estaba pendiente para verlo, y como casi siempre duermo poco cuando me quedo en carpa, ni necesito alarma para despertar.
Also, here the roosters start crowing at about 3:30 in the morning 😄, one speaks and the other answers in the distance, and the donkeys can also be heard talking around. Well, these are the sounds of the countryside, you have to appreciate them, don't you think?
Además, aquí los gallos empiezan a cantar como a las 3:30 de la madrugada 😄, habla uno y el otro le contesta a lo lejos, y los burros también se escuchan por ahí conversando. Bueno, son los sonidos del campo, hay que apreciarlos, ¿no les parece?
As the day before we arrived at night, we couldn't see the scenery of the place, so in the morning we all wandered around the posada, its surroundings are a beauty.
Como el día anterior llegamos de noche, no pudimos ver el paisaje del lugar, así que en la mañana todos andábamos dando vueltas por los espacios de la posada, sus alrededores son una belleza.
I will show you more details of this lodging in another post and of course the exciting routes we did in the beautiful geography of La Sierra, a little known destination but with enormous tourist potential, perfect for those who love extreme adventures in nature.

Rolling through the mountains in Jeeps, setting up camp, and waking up to a 3:30 AM rooster concert, wow you had the full experience. Can't wait to see more from you from La Sierra
It really was an amazing experience 😃, thanks for appreciating! Stay tuned 😉.
Oh I'll definitely stay tuned, I enjoyed this one so much I followed you so I don't miss out on the rest 💯🔥❤️
Cojedes has beautiful places, and I keep hearing about new ones. Are there rivers there?
Yeah, it's a state that is not much promoted for tourism, and most of us think it is just plains, but it has many mountains as well, and rivers, waterfalls, wells and caves. It certainly surprised me! 😃
¡Hermoso!
Siií, ¡un lugar increíble! Saludos 🙂
¡Fantástico!
