1. 0:31Venezuela, The Pearl of Latin America
2. 0:55We arrived in Venezuela.
3. 0:57a country beaten by its history
4. 0:58but with a unique cultural wealth in Latin America.
5. 1:02I heard a lot about this country
6. 1:03but there is no way to know it better than going in person
7. 1:27The first stop in Caracas
8. 1:28was to get to know a very characteristic neighborhood
9. 2:00Now we are entering the “San Agustín” neighborhood
10. 2:02to get to know this place a little
11. 2:03and the people as well.
12. 2:08Well we are now in one of the neighborhoods of San Agustín
13. 2:11“black sector first”
14. 2:13People who dance, sing or play an instrument,
15. 2:17you can find that everywhere around here.
16. 2:20This is my neighborhood, I wouldn't change it for anything.
17. 2:24and this is Caracas papa
18. 2:39you have no idea how this climb is
19. 2:40We are exercising, it is very high
20. 2:45Now the boys are playing “papagayo”
21. 2:47Basically, it is a kite that is thrown very far
22. 2:511km away, It is very far away, you can't even see it.
23. 2:54they get entangled, so that the threads are pressed and one brings the other
24. 2:59The game is very simple, the one that knocks down the other kite wins.
25. 3:02This place in the past was one of the most dangerous in Caracas
26. 3:05but today with the passage of time, the criminals have left
27. 3:09and now it is considered a little safer.
28. 3:12We're doing some shoots and people are very kind and appreciative,
29. 3:16so it's really a pleasure.
30. 3:19I had the opportunity to leave my country to other countries
31. 3:22and when they hear my accent they say you are too
32. 3:24sweet, too noble and cheerful.
33. 3:28That is the most beautiful thing that we Venezuelans have, that we are very loved.
34. 3:32We are an example for the whole world
35. 3:34apart from everything I'm going to tell you one thing, welcome to Caracas, to "San Agustín".
36. 3:46We are now going to try the "cachapas"
37. 3:48which they say is something very traditional in Venezuela, they say it is one of the best dishes
38. 3:51It is a corn flour, we put cheese
39. 3:55on it, they put Manos on it, they put Guayanés on it, it depends on the cheese
40. 3:58"the cachapa "
41. 4:00Justkay: - It has a lot of protein.
42. 4:06Just four hours from Caracas,
43. 4:07we went with Mati and Lucho to see Morrocoy.
44. 4:10And as the locals call this place, "the path to happiness"
45. 4:30people can't believe what my eyes are seeing, I mean
46. 4:36well now we come to “Cayo Sombrero”
47. 4:38There are many “Cayos” around Morrocoy,
48. 4:40but this is one of the most beautiful and the truth is that it does not disappoint I
49. 4:43mean you have to see the beaches, but look at these shots, look what this is amazing
50. 4:59I've been working here for 22 years, I've traveled to many places
51. 5:03like Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire
52. 5:06and the beaches
53. 5:07are not similar to those in Venezuela.
54. 5:08The most beautiful park I've seen like this in water
55. 5:11is Morrocoy
56. 5:16well I think this is the one in Venezuela natural paradise
57. 5:18when they arrive here many people get surprised
58. 5:20a lot of people don't know this place
59. 5:22and when they know it, then the next week, they're here again.
60. 5:56This paradise activated all our senses,
61. 5:58and was simply showing us a part of what this country had to offer.
62. 6:03We went to an island that we were told would surprise us in the same way.
63. 6:06this is 'Family trip' vlibes
64. 6:09Margarita Island is like the "pearl" of the Caribbean.
65. 6:11They call it that way because it is very interesting, it
66. 6:13has too many beaches along the coast
67. 6:16. People love it!
68. 6:17Since we were little we say that is the essence of the Venezuelan
69. 6:20. Let's go to Margarita, let's go to Margarita!
70. 6:32I noticed that people here were very proud of their island,
71. 6:34they wanted to show it to the whole world...
72. 6:36and they had their reasons.
73. 6:42but we couldn't leave without having a little fun.
74. 7:19A few kilometers away by boat,
75. 7:21we went out to discover a virgin island
76. 7:22with a very important fauna and history.
77. 7:25The good thing is that we were accompanied.
78. 7:27I hadn't seen the dolphins for a few days,
79. 7:29you arrived with that bit of cameras and went out to see them
80. 7:33saying welcome to the Island of Cubagua,
81. 7:35welcome to Margarita.
82. 7:48Among the few habitants of this place, was "Machito".
83. 7:51Who shared their story with us.
84. 7:54For me it is wonderful.
85. 7:56It has to be because this is where I've been raised most of my life,
86. 7:59and I love this life that I lead. Since I was a child I fell in love with the nature here,
87. 8:03with Cubagua.
88. 8:05and I'm in love with her.
89. 8:06Wherever I go around here I like it,
90. 8:08on any beach I would like to stay.
91. 8:11I find myself more here than there,
92. 8:14but always aware of my family.
93. 8:19The island I'm on right now has a very interesting history,
94. 8:23because this was one of the gems when Columbus supposedly "discovered" America.
95. 8:28On his third trip, in the year 1498
96. 8:31he came to this island, and he saw this incredible place.
97. 8:34Where an ecocide started with the theme of pearls
98. 8:36they took tons of pearls and oysters from this place.
99. 8:41and that generated a lot of chaos in the ecosystem.
100. 8:43But this island is quite representative
101. 8:45because it was the first place where they arrived for the first time on the 3rd voyage of Columbus.
102. 8:49So let's explore a little,
103. 8:51this beach looks amazing.
104. 8:53It's beautiful, isn't it? -Yes.
105. 8:54really beautiful
106. 8:56. And I say beautiful and proud because we built it with our own hands.
107. 9:03The trip did not end
108. 9:04and I got back together with Kay
109. 9:06to get to know one of the most beautiful places on the planet,
110. 9:09located in the Amazon region.
111. 9:11Thank you very much
112. 9:12-Welcome -Thank you very much
113. 9:15now we have just arrived at “Waku Lodge”
114. 9:18it is a complex in the middle of the jungle
115. 9:21and it has something very particular,
116. 9:22it is that there are animals everywhere.
117. 9:24I'm going to show you what this is.
118. 9:27It's the Mona Lisa
119. 9:31We are in Canaima, in the Guiana massif.
120. 9:33A very particular place
121. 9:35They are high mountains in the tropics, in the equatorial zone.
122. 9:39then these unique ecosystems are generated here.
123. 9:43Each one of those mountains that you see,
124. 9:45are like islands, isolated ecosystems and different from each other.
125. 9:49This is one of the oldest environments on the planet
126. 9:52where water is the protagonist, that is why the importance of "Angel Falls".
127. 9:56Here the rain falls on these peaks,
128. 9:58and forms the huge rivers
129. 10:01that we see in the south of Venezuela.
130. 10:50The next morning...
131. 10:52Good morning,
132. 10:54we get up today at four in the morning.
133. 10:56We are preparing to embark
134. 10:58on one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
135. 11:01Today we are going to the base of the "Angel Falls"
136. 11:13We have 3 kilometers,
137. 11:14about half an hour of walking
138. 11:16because the "rapids" are very strong
139. 11:18and the canoe cannot go through there with all the people.
140. 11:21That's why we're going to meet on the other side.
141. 11:23It started to rain really heavy so
142. 11:24let's see how this turns out
143. 11:40Well, we got everything wet
144. 11:42we were in a rapid and a lot of water passed by,
145. 11:45and everything got wet.
146. 11:46There is a canoe that we haven't found yet,
147. 11:48we don't know, hopefully not, that hasn't turned over.
148. 11:51but we are waiting here, waiting for news.
149. 11:54Fortunately the canoe was safe
150. 11:56and we were able to continue the journey.
151. 12:06After almost 4 hours walking around in the rapids,
152. 12:08we got all wet
153. 12:09Look, I don't even have my jopo on now
154. 12:12We arrive, we arrive at the camp
155. 12:13where we are going to stay overnight
156. 12:16And now we are going to start with the last hike
157. 12:18to the base and the viewpoint of the "Angel Falls".
158. 12:21and we hope that it clears up a bit
159. 12:22to make some amazing shots.
160. 12:29Right now we are walking
161. 12:30through an ancient forest that has a lot of energy,
162. 12:33and a very strong presence is felt.
163. 12:36The air is breathed differently,
164. 12:38it recharges you one hundred percent.
165. 12:47-How are you guys back there?
166. 12:49-well?
167. 12:51You can hear it, huh .
168. 12:51If you put your hand like that, you can hear it.
169. 12:56We're arriving, the
170. 12:57last ten meters.
171. 12:59Oh, my God!
172. 13:34This place is a hope
173. 13:36it is part of what we can be
174. 13:40is a place that excites us,
175. 13:42that gives us courage in the face of any problem we may have.
176. 13:45The "Angel Fall" allows us to dream of something better,
177. 13:49and something bigger.
178. 14:09Venezuela, without a doubt,
179. 14:10is one of the most incredible countries I have known in my life.
180. 14:13Not only for its incredible landscapes,
181. 14:15but the people
182. 14:16Did you travel four and a half hours to see us?
183. 14:18-Correct
184. 14:19The people who know they are the only one will get ahead, despite any adversity
185. 14:24with the personality and charisma they always had.
186. 14:27If you are Venezuelan, I can tell you for sure that you have
187. 14:30one of the most beautiful countries on the planet...
188. 14:33and that the world is ready to rediscover
