Expedición en la selva
Y este es el fin de una serie de publicaciones sobre mi experiencia de viaje al Delta del Orinoco en Venezuela y lo que significo compartir con la única étnica ancestral que ha sobrevivido al paso del tiempo, en este post contaré como fue tener los pies dentro de la selva y relataré mi último día en esta zona mostrando los rostros de los waraos acompáñame.

One thing is to be in a camp with the comforts of the city and another is to be in the jungle making your way through trees with thorns and mud on your feet, walking in the jungle was one of the scheduled activities of the trip, the most daring accepted the challenge and we got a few hours to walk a path guided by an indigenous expert in the area, walking is very difficult because you sink your feet completely in the water and depending on your size it can reach knee height, so taking out each foot to take a step is very tiring, you have to be careful where to put your hands because the trees and branches almost all have thorns of several centimeters and it is very hot in the area so they taught us to get water from the same plants to continue.
Una cosa es estar en un campamento con las comodidades de la ciudad y otra es estar en plena selva abriendo paso entre árboles con espinas y lodo en los pies, caminar en la selva fue una de las actividades programadas del viaje, los más atrevidos aceptaron el reto y nos metimos unas horas a recorrer un camino guiado por un indígena experto en la zona, caminar es muy difícil porque se hunden los pies totalmente en el agua y dependiendo de tu tamaño puede llegarte a la altura de la rodilla así que sacar cada pie para dar un paso es algo agotador, hay que tener cuidado en donde poner las manos porque los árboles y las ramas casi todas tiene espinas de varios centímetros y hace mucho calor en la zona por lo que nos enseñaron sacar agua de las mismas plantas para continuar.

They also gave us a demonstration to climb the trees, the tour was fast because the mosquitoes and mosquitoes wanted to kill everyone, there were even some people who covered everything but their eyes, they looked very funny, after the tour in the jungle they taught us in the camp to make fire in a rudimentary way.
También nos dieron uno demostración para subir los árboles, el recorrido fue rápido porque los mosquitos y los zancudos querían acabar con todos, incluso hubo algunas personas que se taparon todo menos sus ojos, se veían muy chistosos, después del recorrido en la selva nos enseñaron en el campamento hacer fuego de la forma rudimentaria.
The Waraos Indians are people who also celebrate, there was a night that I could not sleep because I heard many people moving down the river in curiaras with a radio at full volume, I found it very curious, since there is no electricity outside the camp, the next day we visited a Waraos family and they were up at dawn with alcoholic drinks and music, this family has a solar panel that allows them to charge the batteries of a bugle, amazing! I guess it was a gift from some tourist.
Los indígenas Waraos son personas que también celebran, hubo una noche que no pude dormir porque escuchaba muchas personas trasladándose por el río en curiaras con un radio a todo volumen, me pareció muy curioso, ya que no existe electricidad fuera del campamento, al día siguiente visitamos a una familia Waraos y estaban amanecidos con estragos por bebidas alcohólicas y con música, esta familia tiene un panel solar que les permite cargar las baterías de una corneta, ¡asombroso! Supongo que fue el obsequio de algún turista.

The new generations of Waraos have features of other cultures, it is evident the mixture of other races, some have light colored eyes and blond hair where you can conclude the miscegenation that exists, women have marked on their faces the innocence and suffering, they look older than in reality they have for their work to support their families. This is a trip that I will remember for a long time, I invite you to enjoy this experience at least once in your life.
Las nuevas generaciones de waraos tienen rasgos de otras culturas, es evidente la mezcla de otras razas, algunos presentan ojos de color claro y un cabello rubio donde se puede concluir el mestizaje que existe, las mujeres tienen marcado en sus rostros la inocencia y el sufrimiento, aparentan más edad que en la que en realidad tienen por su trabajo para mantener a sus familias. Este es un viaje que recordaré por mucho tiempo, te invito a disfrutar por lo menos una vez en la vida esta experiencia.
Thanks for joining me until the end of the post, I am a Venezuelan who is getting to know her country thanks to hive 😉.
