Thanks to the community of Steemterminal for the support. Greetings friends participants: @bhatt _g [bhattg] @bradleyarrow @cuko @librepensadora @mariacaffrey @mllg @parchi-guaya @rdpart [ @russellstockley ] @seadbeady @yeceniacarolina week's assignment excites me, since traveling is one of my hobbies. Travelling around Venezuela is one of my great passions. I love Venezuela, its landscapes and its people. It has natural beauties that delight you when you glimpse them. As my first grade textbook used to say: "How beautiful Venezuela is". I invite you to visit this beautiful country, enjoy its beaches, rivers, mountains, steppes and mangroves. Also to taste its delicious gastronomy.

![viaje sy algo mas.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb5T3vWaBVozvQqrwDFmxhJXRTpv7F6TKJmnhLpiC6p9S/viaje%20sy%20algo%20mas.png) I have a long list of destinations I want to visit. I hope to have the health and money to make my dreams come true. I am passionate about the history of humanity. I would like to know the places where there are still traces of ancient civilizations. It is for this reason that Machu Picchu in Peru tops my list. Then follows Santiago de Compostela, and the Gran Sabana in Venezuela. Friends, put on your seat belts, we're about to take offOur first destination is **Peru**. ![machuuuu.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcjR1C28Ngf78g11trW3UhmZvsHy8XLudb4VRY5GMFQUi/machuuuu.png) In 15 minutes we will land at Peru Jorge Chavez International Airport, located in El Callao. We're going to take approximately 29 minutes to walk down Morales Duarez Avenue. We will spend the night at the Marriott Hotel, and leave at 7:00am Peru time for Cuzco Province on a direct flight.

Cuzco is a picturesque colonial town, with its red roofed buildings. Here you can find buildings that have lasted through time. We are flying over, look at the Cathedral

Friends, tomorrow morning we will take a train from Poroy to Aguas Calientes. We will leave at 6:40 a.m. Peru time in PERURAIL. Then we will travel by bus to Machu Picchu.

did you think of the train ride? Did you like the traditional dance? For me the landscape is unforgettable; the vegetation, the Orinoco River.

a @mllg The vegetation inspired the camera and took many pictures of insects and shadows.

The friends @yeceniacarolina, @librepensadora and @seadbeady were enthusiastic about the Saqra dance.

Yippee, we made it to Machu Picchu.

![machuuu.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdRnF6F7ey6mFwcgVczHYquWNboejXriTW8uiRNtyVKND/machuuu.jpg) Fuente _{Image taken from Pixabay}

It is an area protected by the government of Peru known as the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu. Here you can find traces of the Incas. The climate is mountainous with a lot of vegetation around it. There are native species such as ferns, shrubs, orchids, begonias, bromeliads among others.

Friends, I don't want to wake up from this beautiful dream. But @yeceniacarolina insists that I get off the cloud and finish the publication. On the next trip I will visit the convent of Santo Domingo (where San Martin de Porres is buried), and the Nazca lines.

I leave you this photograph of my husband Silverio Hernández on his trip to Peru in 2013, where I was unable to travel because I got chickenpox three days before the trip. Notice how depressed I was because I didn't go with him. Hahaha

![santiagooooo2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf728gwCYikDnC9W4DBAmZUHC1H6WdupULTVSY453MVG7/santiagooooo2.png) We decided to do the French Way under the instructions of our friend @yeceniacarolina, an expert in walks and marathons, because it is the most travelled. Only the girls of the Rally 500 @mllg, @yeceniacarolina, @seadbeady, @cuko, @librepensadora. We're going to cover 115 km from Sarria in seven days. On this road we'll pass convents, monasteries and castles.

To walk... Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia, very visited for its Cathedral, where the remains of the Apostle Santiago are located.

Thousands of tourists travel the road to Santiago, it is one of the most visited places. The historical centre was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.

It has a climate characteristic of the areas near the seas and oceans. Its rainfall is abundant, and it is very cold in winter.

As for its gastronomy, I can only say "excellent". The Galician empanadas, chorizos, Galician-style octopus. We tasted all the wines we found, they are delicious.

July 24th is the day of the Apostle Santiago, the festivities last for fifteen days. It is the most visited pilgrimage area in the world.

Now we are going to the other side of the world, to South America, to visit my homeland **Venezuela**. ![grab sabana venezolana.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbbsd46tWvnBsSBs64JvrqfxKJ2L6cgdQUmsZAMHA6z7x/grab%20sabana%20venezolana.png) I'm going to finish this beautiful trip across the Gran Sabana, so I can stay home. It is located in the southwest of Venezuela and borders on Brazil. This place has landscapes of extraordinary beauty, and of incalculable value for humanity. It is made up of savannahs, jungles, waterfalls, rivers and mountains. Also a great variety of fauna and flora. We will travel from Ciudad Guayana to Santa Elena de Guairen. We will stay at an inn in Santa Elena de Guiaren and from there we will visit the most emblematic places. We will be careful because we might run into a mapanare.

![tepuy.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVATCdsr8fqWTk7AuGqCnpax7K2jjoakmnwMtWL3ZD18K/tepuy.jpg) Fuente _{Image taken from Pixabay}

We will visit the Roraima Tepuy, the highest in the Gran Sabana.
