Antes de visitar la península de Paria la única referencia que tenía de ella era que había sido nombrada "Tierra de Gracia" por los conquistadores y que su clima era más templado que la habitual aridez de mi ciudad natal. Resultó sorprendente para mí encontrarme con prístinos paisajes llenos de un verde vibrante de vida y con pobladores que fueron tan amables como si me conociesen de toda la vida.
Before visiting the Paria peninsula, the only reference I had about it was that it had been named "Land of Grace" by the conquerors and that its climate was more temperate than the usual aridity of my hometown. It was surprising for me to find pristine landscapes full of vibrant and vigorous green, and with residents who were as friendly as if they had known me all their lives.

¿Qué les puedo decir sobre Paria? Llueve mucho, por supuesto, sin embargo, esto no representa algo malo, al contrario, es necesario para que la región pueda tener su verdor característico. Hay plantas de todo tipo, pero, sin lugar a dudas, la más emblemáticas de toda la península son el cacao, con que se hace el rico chocolate que comemos donde vivo, y el coco, que, para ser honestos, no me gusta.
What can I tell you about Paria? It rains a lot, of course, however, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is necessary for the region to have its characteristic greenness. There are all kinds of plants, but, without a doubt, the most emblematic of the entire peninsula are cocoa, which is used to make the delicious chocolate that we eat where I live, and coconut, which, to be honest, I don't like.

Cada minuto que pasé ahí, admirando la naturaleza, fue como estar en el jardín del Edén, inhalando el aire puro montañoso, sin embargo, todas estas maravillas se ven ensombrecidas por las penurias que vive la población: una situación de pobreza generalizada, el dominio de las bandas criminales y el terrible y constante miedo de sentir que algo malo podría pasar en cualquier momento. Esto lo viví en Güiria, donde eran los mismos pobladores quienes me decían que me cuidara y en la puerta de la iglesia parroquial encontré un gran cartel sobre la prevención de la trata de personas.
Every minute I spent there, admiring nature, was like being in the Garden of Eden, inhaling the pure mountain air, however, all these wonders are overshadowed by the hardships experienced by the population: a situation of widespread poverty, domination of criminal gangs and the terrible and constant fear of feeling that something bad could happen at any moment. I experienced this in Güiria, where it was the villagers who told me to take care of myself and on the door of the parish church I found a large poster about the prevention of human trafficking.

En Irapa, por otra parte, tuve la oportunidad de coincidir con las fiestas patronales presididas, en lo civil, por el Ciudadano Alcalde del Municipio Mariño y, en lo religioso, por Su Excelencia el Obispo de Carúpano. Pude ver ahí la alegría de este pueblo, que a pesar de cada dificultad, sigue festejando. Respecto a la feria que celebraron en la noche he de decir que había mucha gente, como si todo el pueblo se hubiese concentrado ahí en la plaza de la iglesia.
In Irapa, on the other hand, I had the opportunity to coincide with the patron saint festivities presided over, civilly, by the Citizen Mayor of the Mariño Municipality and, religiously, by His Excellency the Bishop of Carúpano. I could see there the joy of this town, which despite every difficulty, continues to celebrate. Regarding the fair that they held at night, I have to say that there were a lot of people, as if the whole town had gathered there in the church square.
