Una de las cosas que más he disfrutado de mi profesión es que me ha llevado a lugares increíbles sin planearlo. Creo que esta fue una de las razones por las que estudié la carrera de periodismo, esa emoción diaria que te ofrece.
On this occasion I was working in a news agency and I had to go to cover a cultural event that was going to be held in a remote community with a beach included, it was Puerto Cruz, a town located in La Guaira state, in the central Venezuelan coast.
En esta ocasión trabajaba en una agencia de noticias y me tocó ir a darle cobertura a un evento cultural que se iba a realizar en una remota comunidad con playa incluida, se trataba de Puerto Cruz, población ubicada en el estado La Guaira, en el litoral central venezolano.
Getting there was a bit complicated, the driver of the agency didn't know the road very well and it took us longer than usual to get there. We went up the road to Colonia Tovar, in Aragua state and before entering that town we took a detour that in about an hour took us to Puerto Cruz. The beach is small, about 150 meters long they say, but very beautiful, it was a pity that the day was cloudy. Its geography is very similar to the beaches of Aragua state, as it is surrounded by mountains and has a river.
Ir hasta allá fue algo complicado, el chófer de la agencia no conocía muy bien el camino y nos tardamos más de lo normal en llegar. Subimos por la carretera hacia la Colonia Tovar, en el estado Aragua y antes de entrar a ese pueblo tomamos un desvío que en más o menos una hora nos condujo hasta Puerto Cruz. La playa es pequeña, unos 150 metros de longitud dicen, pero muy bonita, fue una lástima que el día estuviera nublado. Su geografía es muy similar a las playas del estado Aragua, ya que la rodean las montañas y tiene río.
After covering the cultural event, together with my cameraman we went for a walk around the place and I was able to take these few pictures. We didn't have much time since we had to return to Caracas, it was after 4:00 in the afternoon.
Después de cubrir el evento cultural, junto a mi camarógrafo dimos una vuelta por el lugar y pude hacer estas pocas fotos. No teníamos mucho tiempo ya que debíamos regresar a Caracas, eran pasadas las 4:00 de la tarde.
Puerto Cruz has services for visitors such as restrooms, some simple accommodations (you can also camp), places to eat, etc. I will definitely want to come back to get to know it better, and of course, swim in the beach and the river.
Puerto Cruz tiene servicios para los visitantes como baños, algunos alojamientos sencillos (también se puede acampar), sitios para comer, etc. Sin duda quedé con ganas de regresar para conocerlo mejor, y claro, bañarme en la playa y el río.
The town's economic activity moves between fishing and tourism, from here you can visit other nearby beaches such as Puerto Maya by hiring a boat.
La actividad económica del pueblo se mueve entre la pesca y el turismo, desde acá se pueden visitar otras playas cercanas como Puerto Maya contratando una lancha.
Before leaving, we went back to the shore for a few minutes so that my cameraman could make some additional recordings for the audiovisual work, and so, taking more beautiful shots with us, we said goodbye to this exotic Venezuelan beach corner.
Antes de irnos volvimos a acercarnos unos minutos a la orilla para que mi camarógrafo hiciera unas grabaciones adicionales para el trabajo audiovisual, y así, llevándonos más hermosas tomas nos despedimos de este exótico rincón playero venezolano.
