Hi! I'm glad to see you again! This time you caught me up in time. Let me show you something... Let me introduce you Hacha falls. Anyone can be mesmerized by a beautifull sight like this! Hacha Falls spills into Venezuela’s Canaima Lagoon as towering mesas called tepuis rise in the background. This area in southern Venezuela is home to Angel Falls, the world’s highest uninterrupted waterfall. Did you know the origin of the name Venezuela? Venezuela, in northern South America, was named for Italy's Venice by 15th-century European explorers who found native houses on stilts above Lake Maracaibo. Those constructions were similar to the houses in city of Veneza, then that region was called Venezuela (Small Veneza).
The contemporaneous culture evolution is derived of pre-hispanics, hispanics and africaans roots, consonant to the colonial period. The specific culture was made with an intense process of transculture. The richness in celebrations and traditions is product of fusion of native crowd, europeans and africaans which arrived over 500 years, and afterwards formed actual venezuelan society.
About the food... I like this part! Tasting venezuelan food is like submerging in a world of aromas and flavours wich describe a gastronomy of strong tastes and wonderfull colors. Venezuelan cookery uses ingredients like corn, manioc, banana, indian pepper, grains, tubercules, sugar cane and several meats. The most representative dishes are Pabellón Criollo, Arepa, Hallaca, and Cachapa.
Now the music. Their music is a mixture of rithms between salsa, merengue, calypso and also other south american. Joropo is a typical dance of Venezuela. The instruments most used are cuatro, harpa llanera and maracas.
The favourite sports are baseball, football, basquetball and boxe, by this order.
Well I got to rush to another country, I hope to see you soon. Goodbye =)
