in Pinmapple2 years ago

Hello Hive community, as some already know, we have lived in Uruguay for almost three years, my girlfriend @carlagonz and I traveled together in August 2019 to start a new life in another country due to the difficult situation in our country of origin, our The land trip began in the city of Maracay, crossing half of Venezuela, and then entering Brazil and traveling to the city of Manaus, where we would take a flight to Montevideo.

The total trip began on August 16 and ended on August 21, between buses and planes we were 5 on the trip.

Hola comunidad de Hive, como algunos ya saben desde hace casi tres años vivimos en Uruguay, mi novia @carlagonz y yo viajamos juntos en agosto de 2019 para comenzar una nueva vida en otro pais debido a la dificil situación de nuestro país de origen, nuestro viaje terrestre comenzó en la ciudad de Maracay atravesando media Venezuela para luego ingresar a Brasil y viajar hasta la ciudad de Manaus donde tomaríamos un vuelo hasta Montevideo.

El viaje total comenzó el 16 de agosto y culminó el 21 de agosto, entre recorrido de buses y aviones estuvimos 5 de viaje.

During that trip we walked along the land border between Brazil and Venezuela, today I come to tell you about my experience, although it could be a little outdated due to the date on which it was made.

Leaving the San Felix terminal we planned to arrive at the border at 6 in the morning but the bus broke down and we ended up crossing the border control after noon, the Venezuelan guards did not make much of a problem in passing, you can pass with an ID or passport thanks to Mercosur agreements.

On the Brazilian side, we had to obtain an entry permit to Brazil, although in our case it was quite fast because our permit was transit and not residence, a tip is that in the red cross tent you have the right to a call 3-minute hospitalization in which you can call a family member since from the middle of the trip there is no telephone signal.

Durante ese viaje pasamos caminando por la frontera terrestre de Brasil y Venezuela hoy vengo a contarles mi experiencia aunque esta podría estar un poco desactualizada por la fecha en la cual se realizó.

Al salir del terminal de San Felix teníamos previsto llegar a la frontera a las 6 de la mañana pero el bus se averío y terminamos cruzando el control fronterizo después de mediodia, los guardias Venezolanos no hicieron mucho problema en pasar, puedes transcurrir con cédula o pasaporte gracias a convenios del mercosur.

Del lado Brasilero, teníamos que gestionar un permiso de entrada a Brasil, aunque en nuestro caso fue bastante rápido debido a que nuestro permiso era de tránsito y no de residencia, un tip es que en la carpa de la cruz roja tienes derecho a una llamada internacion de 3 minutos en la cual puedes llamar a un familiar dado que desde la mitad de viaje no hay señal telefónica.

In all the border point we have a great monument with quite large waving flags of both countries and flags painted in the lower part of said place, on these painted flags we find two busts, from the Brazilian side PEDRO I (the first emperor and the first head of state for Brazil) and on the Venezuelan side we have Simón Bolívar (maximum hero of Venezuelan independence).

En todo el punto fronterizo tenemos un gran monumento con banderas ondeantes de ambos países bastantes grandes y banderas pintadas en en la parte inferior de dicho lugar, sobre estas banderas pintadas encontramos dos bustos, del lado brasilero PEDRO I (el primer emperador y el el primer jefe de Estado para Brasil) y del lado Venezolano tenemos a Simón Bolivar (máximo procer de la independecia Venezolana).

This is usually a tourist spot, since it is very close to Santa Elena de Uairen and usually people who visit the Brazilian side (Pacaraima) or travel through the great Savannah pass through this place to be photographed.

Although the road border post is on the road where this monument is located, there are more than 2000 km that link both countries and border control throughout that vast majority of nature territory must be a difficult job.

Este suele ser un punto turístico, dado que se encuentra muy cerca de Santa Elena de Uairen y por lo general la gente que visita el lado de Brasil (Pacaraima) o viaja por la gran Sabana pasan por este lugar para fotografiarse.

Aunque el puesto fronterizo vial es en la carretera donde se encuentra este monumento, existen mas de 2000 km que unen a ambos paises y el control fronterizo por todo ese territorio de naturaleza en su gran mayoría debe ser un trabajo dificil.

The illegal trade in metals and precious stones is very common, even to the point that on the Venezuelan side there are food stores that accept part of the payment in gold, as they are heard, they weigh the amount of gold you have and quote you at the price of day to give you a total cost of the gold piece in relation to the price of the product.

On the Brazilian side, the currency exchange trade is very precarious, while we were walking with the suitcases, people approached us to offer us different prices of Reais for dollars or bolivars, it is a bit dangerous but you get a better price with those who are on the street who in exchange house within Brazil.

El comercio ilegal de metales y piedras preciosas es muy común, incluso al punto que del lado Venezolano hay locales de comida que te aceptan parte del pago en oro, tal como se escuchan te pesan la cantidad de oro que tengas y te cotizan al precio del dia para darte un costo total de la pieza de oro en relación al precio del producto.

Del lado brasilero el comercio de intercambio de divisas es muy precario, mientras caminabamos con las maletas se nos acercaban personas para ofrecernos distintas cotizaciones de Reais para dolares o bolivares, es un poco peligroso pero se consigue mejor cotización con los que estan en la calle que en casa de cambios dentro de Brasil.
