Today I am so full of emotions and I am saying goodbye to a beautiful country with excellent people that left me with a bitter taste, I didn't want to just return to Europe! Before traveling, many told me not to return, much less come as a tourist because of how dangerous it is. However, I am a witness that you could do tourism in the country if you organize yourself well and know where to go, much better if you do it with a friend who lives. over there! There was nothing negative about Maracaibo and its delicious street cuisine was something explosive and "exaggerated" for our palates! Today I leave you this last post where I visited some tourist sites in Maracaibo, Zulia state!π₯οΈππ§
Hoy estoy tan lleno de emociones y es que me despido de un hermoso pais con excelentes personas que me dejaron con un sabor amargo, no queria simplemente regresar a europa! antes de viajar muchos me decian para no volver y mucho menos venir en calidad de turista por lo peligroso sin embargo soy testigo que podrias hacer turismo en el pais si te organizas bien y sabes a donde llegar mucho mejor si lo haces con algun amigo que viva alli! de Maracaibo nada negativo que hablar y su deliciosa gastronomia callejera fue algo explosivo y "exagerado" para nuestros paladares! hoy te dejo este ultimo post donde visite algunos sitios turisticos de Maracaibo estado Zulia!πΊοΈππ
Normally we got up at 8-9am, which is when the heat in the city is much more tolerant and at this time you can walk on the street without carrying in the scorching heat of 40 degrees. Today we are going to try the famous breakfast "Maracucho "That one full of calories and a lot of fried food, it's about "tequeΓ±os, pastelitos, empanadas" all typical of Venezuela, some typical of Maracaibo, with the heat it only makes you drink very cold soft drinks and that's what I ordered a coke, you can also accompany it with a malt! all this less than 5 dollars! I thought the breakfast in Maracaibo was very cheap! The place we visited is called: "Pastelitos El Gordo"π©ππ§
Normalmente nos levantabamos a las 8-9am que es cuando el calor de la ciudad es mucho mas tolerante y es que a estas horas puedes caminar en la calle sin llevar con el calor abrazador de 40 grados, hoy vamos a probar el famoso desayuno "Maracucho" ese lleno de calorias y mucha fritura, se trata de "tequeΓ±os, pastelitos, empanadas" todas tipicas de Venezuela, algunas propias de Maracaibo, con el calor solo provoca beber refrescos muy frios y fue lo que pedi una cocacola, tambien puedes acompaΓ±ar con una malta! todo esto menos de 5 dolar! me parecio muy barato el desayuno en Maracaibo! el sitio que visitamos se llama: "Pastelitos El Gordo" π
After breakfast we went to the center of Maracaibo to visit one of the most iconic and representative sites of the city, it is the "Baralt Theater" all tourists who pass through these parts have to set foot in the theater since it has quite a history. Interesting, I leave you here the coordinates: "10Β°38'32"N 71Β°36'29"W", we continued with my adventure. It was already noon when I arrived at the historic center of Maracaibo and we were lucky that they were doing an activity of the Women's Day therefore the Theater was open to the public!π§π
Luego de desayunar fuimos al centro de Maracaibo para visitar uno de los sitios mas iconicos y representativos de la ciudad se trata del "Teatro Baralt" todos los turistas que pasan por estos lados tienen que colocar un pie en el teatro ya que tiene una historia bastante interesante, te dejo aqui las coordenadas: "10Β°38β²32β³N 71Β°36β²29β³O", continuamos con mi aventura era ya medio dia cuando llegue al casco historico de Maracaibo y tuvimos la suerte que estaban haciendo una actividad del dia de la mujer por tanto el Teatro estaba abierto al publico!ππ«ποΈ
The construction of the Baralt theater dates back to 1877, at this point Venezuela had already claimed its independence, however Maracaibo was like an isolated city that still maintained a certain Spanish cultural mix, the theater was built in 1847 but was later demolished due to poor quality. of architecture! Various types of activities are carried out here: "dance, dancing, singing, among others." However, the current building, the one you see in the photos, is from 1928 but inside it maintains many original things!π§ππ©βπ«
la construccion del teatro baralt data del aΓ±o 1877, en esta altura ya Venezuela habia reclamado su independencia sin embargo Maracaibo era como una ciudad aislada que aun mantenia una cierta mezcla cultural espaΓ±ola, el teatro fue construido en 1847 pero luego es derrumbado por la mala calidad de la arquitectura! aqui se realizan varios tipos de actividades de tipo: "danza, baile, canto entre otros". Sin embargo el edificio actual el que ves en las fotos es de 1928 pero dentro mantiene muchas cosas originales!ππ
The founder of the theater was "Antonio Miguel Baralt", and when he built the first theater in the 18th century it was very simple and he literally rented it to tourists or important visits to the city, the entire theater could accommodate more than 670 people and as you can see it has that Fun colorful touch that makes it very different from any other modern theater in the world. We had a very professional guide who told us that normally a theater is a "serious" space, with very inconspicuous colors. I would say something "serious", but the Baralt Theater It maintains that happy and fun essence, it currently belongs to a foundation of the "University of Zulia".π«ππ
El fundador del teatro fue "Antonio Miguel Baralt", y cuando construyo el primer teatro en XVIII era muy sencillo y literalmente lo alquilaba a turistas o visitas importantes hacia la ciudad, en todo el teatro caben mas de 670 personas y como puedes ver tiene ese toque colorido divertido que lo hace muy diferente a cualquier otro teatro moderno del mundo, tuvimos una guia muy profesional que nos comentaba que normalmente un teatro es un espacio "serio, con colores muy poco sobresalientes" diria algo "serio", pero el Teatro Baralt mantiene esa escencia alegre y divertida, actualmente pertenece a una fundacion de la "universidad del zulia".ππ
Since there was an event we didn't have to reserve or pay anything, however our guide told us that to enter the theater you must pay an entrance fee. I don't know if it was 2-5 dollars but it was around that price! If you organize yourself, you may even participate in a play, normally they publish those activities on their page! Outside the theater there is a rest area where you can buy drinks, or some books. They have a library with very old books!π§π©
como habia un evento no tuvimos que reservar o pagar algo, sin embargo nuestra guia nos comento que para entrar al teatro se debe pagar una entrada no se si eran 2-5dolar pero ronda ese precio! si te organizas puede que hasta participes en alguna obra de teatro normalmente en su pagina publican esas actividades! afuera del teatro hay un area de descanso donde puedes comprar bebidas, o algun libro tienen una biblioteca con libros muy antiguos!ππΊοΈ
The famous "Vereda del lago"β΅π/La famosa "Vereda del lago"π©
The lunches were also very economical in Maracaibo, paying less than 20 dollars for four people, including drinks, sometimes we ate in the house where we were staying and other days we ate on the street, something that did catch my attention is that Maracaibo does not stand out for having a very gourmet menu in terms of lunches! but the little they have is delicious! And of course we had lunch and rested a little waiting for the temperature to drop so we could go to the next tourist site!π§π
Los almuerzos tambien fueron muy economicos en Maracaibo pagando menos de 20dolar para cuatro personas, incluyendo bebidas, unas veces comimos en la casa donde estabamos hospedados y otros dias comimos en la calle, algo que si me llamo la atencion es que Maracaibo no destaca por tener un menu muy gourmet en cuanto a almuerzos! pero lo poco que tienen es delicioso! y claro almorzamos y descansamos un poco esperando que la temperatura bajase para ir al proximo sitio turistico!ππ₯©π₯
The "vereda del lago" is another of the places of tourist interest in Maracaibo, it is a fairly large park with many types of activities available to spend a pleasant day with the family, the park has more than 70 hectares and was built in 1978, we even have a small zoo, admission is free, you can visit it at any time of the year, its views are top because it surrounds Lake Maracaibo and even in the distance we can see the bridge, which is one of the largest in Latin America, the breeze in the afternoons is very nice!π©π
La "vereda del lago" es otro de los sitios de interes turisticos de Maracaibo, es un parque bastante grande con muchos tipos de actividades disponible para pasar un dia agradable en familia, el parque cuenta con mas de 70hectareas y fue construido en 1978 inclusive tenemos un pequeΓ±o Zoologico, la entrada es gratis puedes visitarlo a cualquier altura del aΓ±o sus vistas son top porque esta rodeando el lago de maracaibo e inclusive a lo lejos podemos ver el puente que es uno de los mas grandes de Latino America, la brisa en las tardes es muy agradable!π§πΊοΈ
200 years the battle of the lakeβ΅π/200 aΓ±os la batalla del lagoπ©π
In this battle the Spanish are expelledπ¨βπ«π
Inside the park we find this area of a few meters where it is explained in great detail what happened two hundred years ago in Lake Maracaibo, and that Lake Maracaibo served as a combat site for one of the most important battles of the new granada here the naval fleet of Venezuela in a bloody scene expelled the Spanish and one could say that it is the last fight to acquire the independence of the new granada! I was reading that Lake Maracaibo is one of the deepest in the world and I also read that it is the first lake on the planet, that is, the oldest, millions of years old!π§ππ©βπ«
dentro del parque nos conseguimos con esta area de algunos metros donde se explica con mucho detalle que sucedio hace doscientos aΓ±os en el lago de Maracaibo, y es que el lago de Maracaibo sirvio como lugar de combate para una de las batallas mas importantes de la nueva granada aqui la armada naval de Venezuela en una sangrienta escena expulso a los EspaΓ±oles y se podria decir que es el ultimo combate para adquirir la independencia de la nueva granada! estuve leyendo que el lago de Maracaibo es uno de los mas profundos del mundo y tambien lei que es el primer lago del planeta osea el mas antiguo con millones de aΓ±os!ππ
I think that Chicha is like a dessert something like that in the form of a drink that, if I'm not mistaken, was born here in Maracaibo, it is made either with rice or with pasta, milk, sugar, it is served with ice and some toppings that include condensed milk! 1 dollar a glassπ₯πΊ
Creo que la Chicha es como un postre algo asi en forma de bebida que si no me equivoco nacio aqui en Maracaibo es realizada o con arroz o con pasta, leche, azucar se sirve con hielo y unos topping que incluye leche condensada! 1dolar el vasoπ₯
Sambil Shopping Centerπ§ππ/Centro comercial Sambilπ©
Before going to the Sambil we passed through the Ana Maria Campos park, which is new and also has many interesting things to see, including several fountains and lights. When we arrived at the Sambil, it was already nighttime and I took the opportunity to take a walk with the girls. That's right: "my daughters." Sambil is the largest and most complete shopping center in Marcaibo, if I'm not mistaken, it is one of the few where we can buy original clothes at a good price! Also in the food area there is a bridge that recreates the bridge over the lake that connects Maracaibo "with the rest of Venezuela!ππ©
Antes de ir al Sambil pasamos por el parque Ana Maria Campos que es nuevo y que tiene tambien bastantes cosas interesantes que ver, entre ellas destacan varias fuentes y luces, cuando llegamos al Sambil ya era de noche y aproveche en dar un paseo con las niΓ±as asi es: "mis hijas". El Sambil es el centro comercial si no me equivoco mas grande y completo de Marcaibo, es uno de los pocos donde podemos comprar ropa original con buen precio! ademas en el area de las comidas hay un puente que recrea el puente sobre el lago que une Maracaibo "con el resto de Venezuela!ππ§π§π»
