MEMORIES OF THE TRIP TO THE GUACHARO CAVE

The Guácharo Cave, also known as Alejandro de Humboldt Natural Monument, is located 4 km from a town called Caripe, located within the El Guácharo National Park, in the state of Monagas, Venezuela. To date, the cave is considered to be approximately 10.5 km long. The Guácharo or Steatornis caripensis is a bird that inhabits the first gallery of the cave, feeds on fruits, and comes out at night in search of food. It is important to mention that phones and cameras with flash or lights are prohibited inside the cave because they can scare the Guacharos and they fly in large flocks.

The town of Caripe, at its entrance has an emblematic statue of the local bird, a large Guacharo in a plaza.

The town has a humid, mountainous and cold climate of approximately 20 °, very pleasant, the vegetation is lush, we find nurseries of orchids and succulents in various parts of the town as well as foreign sales in the access and exit roads of the town. The nights are quite cold. The strawberry crops are abundant and we were able to taste the famous dessert of Strawberries with cream, really tasty.

I have had the opportunity to visit it twice, the first time in 2003 but I only walked to the depth of about 40 meters, because the Guacharos produce such a peculiar sound, particularly to me it seems horrible, and that scared the children.
The second time I visited the place was in 2014 and it was the same, I could not explore deep into the cave for fear of the children and my wife. I was left with the desire.

The world is so small, that in the village of Caripe, so hidden and between mountains, I got a cousin who was also visiting the place with his wife and children.
There is a lot of local handicraft, but the most striking thing is the amount of nurseries, they grow and germinate orchids in quantity, so much so that I bought several and brought them with me, praying to God not to have problems in the Alcabalas.

We were in town for about two days, from there, we wanted to know the Aguas de Moses, but we did not know the way and decided to go to Puerto la Cruz Anzoategui State, without knowing the way, guided by a Garmin GPS, but I had it badly configured, and a trip that was done in 2 hours we did it in about 5 hours because we got lost. In the end I turned off the GPS and guided myself by asking the citizens in the towns we passed.

It was truly an unforgettable trip, because of the beauty of the place and the anecdotes that I have told you. I recommend you to travel and visit Caripe del Guácharo and the Monumental Cave.

RECUERDOS DEL VIAJE A LA CUEVA DEL GUACHARO

La cueva del Guácharo, también conocida como Monumento Natural Alejandro de Humboldt, está ubicada a 4 Km de un pueblo llamado Caripe, localizado dentro del parque nacional El Guácharo, en el estado Monagas, Venezuela. Se considera hasta la actualidad que la Cueva tiene una longitud aproximada de 10,5 km. El Guácharo o Steatornis caripensis es un ave que habita la primera galería de la cueva, se alimenta de frutos , y sale en las noches en busca de su alimento. Es importante mencionar que los teléfonos y cámaras con flash o luces están prohibidas dentro de la cueva porque pueden espantar a los Guacharos y ellos vuelan en grandes manadas.

El pueblo Caripe, a su entrada tiene una estatua emblemática del ave local, un gran Guácharo en una plaza.

El pueblo tiene un clima húmedo, montañoso y frio, de aproximadamente 20 °, bien agradable, la vegetación es frondosa, encontramos viveros de Orquídeas y suculentas en varias partes de la localidad así como ventas foráneas en las vías de acceso y salida del pueblo. Las noches son bastante frías. Las cosechas de fresas son abundantes y pudimos degustar el famoso postre de Fresas con crema, realmente sabroso.

He tenido la oportunidad de ir en dos ocasiones a visitarla, la primera vez en el año 2003 pero solo la camine hacia la profundidad unos 40 mts, porque los Guacharos producen un sonido tan peculiar, particularmente a mi me parece horrible, y eso asustó a los niños.
La segunda vez que visité el lugar fue en el año 2014 y sucedió igual, no pude explorar muy adentro de la cueva por temor de los niños y de mi esposa. Me quede con las ganas.

El mundo es tan pequeño, que en el pueblo Caripe, tan escondido y entre montañas, me conseguí a un primo que también estaba visitando el lugar con su esposa e hijos.
Existe bastante artesanía local, pero lo más llamativo es la cantidad de viveros, cultivan y germinan orquídeas en cantidad, tanto así que compre varias y me las traje, rogando a Dios no tener problemas en las Alcabalas.

Estuvimos en el Pueblo unos dos días, de allí, queríamos conocer las Aguas de Moisés, pero no supimos el camino y decidimos dirigirnos a Puerto la Cruz Estado Anzoátegui, sin conocer la vía, guiado por un GPS Garmin, pero lo tenía mal configurado, y un viaje que se hacía en 2 horas lo realizamos como en 5 horas porque nos perdimos. Al final apague el GPS y me guie preguntando a los ciudadanos en los poblados que pasábamos.

De verdad que fue un viaje inolvidable, por lo hermoso del lugar y por las anécdotas que les he contado. Les recomiendo viajar y conocer Caripe del Guácharo y la Monumental Cueva.

The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
