Hello everyone, this is my post for the Redfish Rally 500 Bucket list Challenge, week-2, May 2020.
El reto de esta semana consiste en elegir dos o tres sitios los cuales me gustaría visitar, hacer un post sobre ellos y decir el porque me gustaría visitarlos.
The challenge of this week is to choose two or three places which I would like to visit, make a post about them and say why I would like to visit them.
La lista de los sitios que me gustaría visitar es muy extensa pero voy a comenzar con dos de los lugares mas hermosos de mi país Venezuela a los cuales tristemente no he tenido el gusto de ir personalmente.
The list of places I would like to visit is very extensive but I am going to start with two of the most beautiful places in my country Venezuela, which sadly I have not had the pleasure to go personally.

Los indios pemones nativos de la zona la llaman "Kerepakupai Vená" que en su dialecto significa “salto del lugar más profundo”.
The native Pemon Indians of the area call it "Kerepakupai Vená" which in its dialect means "jump from the deepest place".
Como dato curioso, las formación rocosa del Salto Ángel no contiene fósiles de ninguna clase ya que su origen data de hace 1.300 millones de años mucho antes que existieran los primeros rastros de vida sobre el planeta. Estas forman parte del Escudo Guayanes la formación geológica mas antigua de todo el planeta, es decir fueron de las primeras rocas que se formaron en el mundo.
As a curious fact, the rock formation of the Angel Falls does not contain fossils of any kind since its origin dates back 1.3 billion years long before the first traces of life on the planet existed. These are part of the Guayanes Shield, the oldest geological formation on the entire world.

El Salto Ángel da origen al río churun meru que desemboca en el río Caroní que a su vez es tributario del Río Orinoco, el segundo río mas grande de Sur América luego del Río Amazonas.
The Angel Falls give rise to the churun meru river that empties into the Caroní river tributary of the Orinoco River, the second largest river in South America after the Amazon River.
El Parque Nacional Canaima en Venezuela es una de las reservas naturales más hermosas del mundo. Es reservorio de innumerables plantas y animales que solo se consiguen en este maravilloso lugar. Cuenta además con paisajes exuberantes, ríos, cascadas, planicies y los famosos tepuyes unicos en su tipo.
Canaima National Park in Venezuela is one of the most beautiful natural reserves in the world. It is a reservoir of innumerable plants and animals that can only be found in this wonderful place. It also has lush landscapes, rivers, waterfalls, plains and the famous unique tepuis of its kind.

Es el pico más alto de Venezuela con 4983 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Se encuentra ubicado en el Parque Nacional Sierra Nevada en el Estado Mérida.
It is the highest peak in Venezuela with 4983 meters above sea level. It is located in the Sierra Nevada National Park, Merida State.
Recibió su nombre como un homenaje al Libertador Simón Bolívar en una ceremonia donde fue develado un busto de bronce del libertador el 30 de Diciembre de 1934.
It received its name as a tribute to the Liberator Simón Bolívar in a ceremony where a liberator's bronze bust was unveiled on December 30, 1934.
Debido a su gran altitud siempre estaba cubierto por glaciares permanentes, pero hoy en día los glaciares se han ido reduciendo cada vez más y algunos han desaparecido. No es fácil alcanzar su cima ya que no hay caminos y solo puede ser escalado por escaladores profesionales.
Due to its high altitude it was always covered by permanent glaciers, but today glaciers have been shrinking more and more and some have disappeared. It is not easy to reach its top since there are no roads and it can only be climbed by professional climbers.
