Two lovers kiss before making a pendulum jump together... May the goddess Venus protect them!

in #travelfeed4 years ago

Hello, eSTEEMed friends, lovers of travels, nature and life...

......._______.......

Although in Venezuela not only have not ceased hyperinflation and the failures in the electrical service but have increased and the Internet connection is increasingly complicated, here I am creating again.

I took this series of photos of this happy couple of artists and adventurers with my old-fashioned Samsung phone on a sunny Sunday over a bridge somewhere on the old semi-abandoned road that, after a 90-minute drive, connects Caracas and the port city of La Guaira, north of Venezuela.

The so-called Old Caracas-La Guaira Road was inaugurated on January 14, 1845, General Carlos Soublette being president of the newly created Republic of Venezuela. Following a parallel route, on December 2, 1953, another General who also became president, Marcos Pérez Jiménez, inaugurated a modern highway. The route was reduced to 15 minutes.

The day I took these photos, my brother Leonel and I, accepted -and could pay- the invitation made to us by the friends of Ávila Xtreme, a group of friendly adventure tourism professionals who were always inventing alternatives so that we could all enjoy the nature of Caracas and its surroundings while practicing some extreme sports. On this occasion, both my brother and I were able to overcome fear and make our first pendulum jumps.

I'm afraid that by today's date, Ávila Xtreme is not active, which is nothing unusual in a country whose economy was destroyed by incoherent political practices. The positive thing is that our natural heritage, with great tourist potential, remains healthy, awaiting sustainable and ecological alternatives for development.

For now, here we can see our adorable couple before jumping.

And here they are already hanging from the ropes.

And here we see them, very smiling, after having overcome the challenge of jumping together through the narrow base of the old bridge.

It was a very nice group that jumped that day, about which I will continue to write.... Many of them are students of the Escuela de Teatro "Juana Sujo". Like these two beautiful boyfriends who kissed before jumping very close together from one side to the other across the base of the bridge, whose mouth is only about ten meters wide, which is not a great space for two bodies to deal with the Law of Gravity and the Centrifugal Force.

But love cares nothing. All in all, that's what the goddess Venus, who protects you, is for...

In this image we can see the route of the two main terrestrial communication routes that cross the Waraira Repano National Park (The Ávila National Park) and run between Caracas to the coast where the main airport and the seaport are located. At the left is the old Caracas-La Guaira road and at the right, the concrete street that passes through the rural town of Galipán.
