Greetings, fellow travelers, I continued my vacation in the magical city of Maracaibo, today we did an activity that brought a lot of energy, joy and knowledge! We enter the waters of Lake Maracaibo to reach our final destination, which is the Peonias Lagoon, an interesting adventure because during the tour we will see different species of birds, fish, and mammals until we reach the village where the indigenous people live. ! Join me on this adventure!🌅⛵

How to contract the service?⛵🌍/Como contratar el servicio?🚩

I leave here the IG of the KayakMaracaibo company which I recommend 100%. They have several activities, in fact more than five, so you have many activities to choose from. For me, one of the most interesting was this one because of the landscape and the difficulty! Let's say it is for people with experience, if you are a novice or it is your first time I do not recommend doing this activity, it is quite demanding! And if there are two people the difficulty increases by 50% because all the force is done by the person behind and the person in front guides! We paid 50 dollars for both of us, you pay half and then half when you finish the activity!🚩🌅🐟

Dejo aqui el IG de la empres KayakMaracaibo la cual se las recomiendo 100% tienen varias actividades, en realidad mas de cinco por eso tienes muchas actividades para escoger para mi una de las mas interesantes era esta por el paisaje y la dificultad! digamos que es para personas con experiencias, si eres novato o es tu primera vez no te recomiendo hacer esta actividad es bastante exigente! y si son dos personas la dificultad se eleva un 50% porque todo la fuerza la hace la persona de atras y el del frente guia! pagamos 50dolares por los dos pagas la mitad y luego la mitad cuando terminas la actividad!🚩🚣‍♂️🚣‍♀️

Route⛵🌍/Recorrido🚩

As you can see, the route is approximately 14km by Kayak, it is much faster than walking because of the tide, but it is completed in 2.5 hours, despite marking 14km, the instructor told us that it is reduced to 7km due to some shortcuts that are taken through the mangroves, Really, since I have experience, the route demanded a lot from me! There are two changes in the color of the waters and the tide because first we start in the lake and then we move to the mangroves here the color changes and the tide becomes softer!🌅⛵🌍

Como puedes ver la ruta es aproximadamente 14km en Kayak es mucho mas rapida que caminando por causa de la marea pero se completa en 2.5horas apesar de marcar 14km el instructor nos dijo que se reduce a 7km por unos atajos que se toman por los manglares, de verdad yo que tengo experiencia me exigio bastante el recorrido! hay dos cambios en el color de las aguas y la marea porque primero comenzamos en el lago y luego pasamos a los manglares aqui cambia la coloracion y la marea se hace mas suave!🐟🚣‍♂️

An activity with training and professionalism⛵🌍/Una actividad con entrenamiento y profesionalismo🚩

stretching exercises👨‍🏫🍍🌅

Before going to the lake we do stretching exercises to avoid injuries and improve our performance since we are going to row for many hours, then our instructors who accompany us throughout the experience give us a class with several tips to row correctly and also to avoid falling out of the kayak, which happens frequently because their design is quite light and unstable! each model has a different balance! If you don't feel comfortable with your kayak you can change!🧭🌏👩‍🏫

antes de ir al lago hacemos ejercicios de estiramiento que es para evitar lesionarnos y mejorar nuestro desempeño ya que vamos a remar muchas horas, luego nuestros instructores los cuales nos acompañan en toda la experiencia nos dan una clase con varios tips para remar correctamente y tambien para evitar caernos del kayak cosa que ocurre con frecuencia porque el diseño de los mismos es bastante liviano e inestables! cada modelo tiene un equilibrio diferente! si no te sientes comodo con tu kayak puedes cambiar!🍍🚙

Time to row!⛵🌍/hora de remar!🚩

I decided to accompany my wife in the double kayak to go together and share a better experience. I took the opportunity to explain many things to her about these ecosystems. Previously, I did some bird studies in mangroves so I could identify each bird that appeared in front of us! Many of the ones we saw were: flamingos, herons, kingfishers, small insect-eating birds, sometimes raccoons are seen but since they are threatened it is difficult to see them! We saw 3 species of crabs!🌏🌍⛵

Decidi acompañar a mi esposa en el kayak duplo para ir juntos y compartir una mejor experiencia, aproveche para explicarle muchas cosas sobre estos ecosistemas anteriormente hice algunos estudios de aves en manglares entonces podia identificar cada ave que apareciese frente de nosotros! muchas de las que vimos fueron: flamengos, garzas, martin pescador, aves pequeñas insectivoras, a veces se observan mapaches pero como estan amenazados es dificil verlos! vimos 3 especies de cangrejos!🦀🚣‍♀️

Beautiful landscapes⛵🌍/Hermoso paisajes🚩

It was a shame not to be able to use the phones to record because there were many beautiful landscapes within the canals, but I managed to do what I could with my Gopro, we passed through two concrete bridges, one of which you can see in the video, we also passed through a section called: "chamber of love" which is like a closed space full of logs and beautiful landscapes that give the place a romantic touch! It was fun when we got closer to the houses because we saw children bathing in the lake and playing!🌳🧭

fue una pena no poder usar los telefonos para grabar porque habian muchos paisajes bonitos dentro de los canales, pero logre hacer lo que pude con mi Gopro, pasamos por dos puentes de concreto que uno de ellos puedes ver en el video, tambien pasamos por una seccion llamada: "camara del amor" que es como un espacio cerrado lleno de troncos y bonitos paisajes que ambientan el lugar dando un toque romantico! fue divertido cuando nos acercamos a las casas porque vimos niños bañandose en el lago y jugando!🌾🌿

The secret side of Maracaibo⛵🌍/El lado secreto de maracaibo🚩

When we think of Maracaibo, an oil city, we never imagine that landscapes like these can be found here! In reality there are many secret things that few know about the city that gave its name to Venezuela, to enter here is to relive how the indigenous people lived or still live, many are dedicated to raising pigs and chickens and clearly fishing is essential!🧭🚣‍♀️

Cuando pensamos en Maracaibo una ciudad petrolera jamas imaginamos que paisajes como estos podemos conseguirlos aqui! en realidad hay muchas cosas secretas de las cuales pocos conocen de la ciudad que le dio el nombre a Venezuela, adentrarnos aqui es revivir como vivieron o aun viven los indigenas, muchos se dedican a criar cerdos y gallina y claramente la pesca es primordial!🌍🚣‍♂️

Arrival at the lagoon⛵🌍/Llegada a la laguna🚩

When we arrive at this place we have completed half of the route, we left at 9am to avoid the midday heat, we arrived at noon, here we made a 30-minute stop to stretch our feet, rest, and hydrate. We saw how the people who literally live on this small island live, they were humble conditions, happy people! The most important thing for us is a lot of respect and I never felt in danger or unsafe during the entire activity!🌷🌻

cuando llegamos a este sitio hemos completado la mitad del recorrido, salimos a las 9am para evitar el calor del medio dia, llegamos al medio dia, aqui hicimos una parada de 30minutos para estirar los pies, descasar, hidratarnos. Vimos como las personas que habitan en literalmente esta pequeña isla viven, eran condiciones humildes, personas alegres! lo mas importante para nosotros mucho respeto y nunca me senti en peligro o inseguro en toda la actividad!🌅🚩

Dare to live the experience⛵🌍/Atrevete a vivir la experiencia🚩

The experience was so fun! We had a great time, we laughed, we beat against the branches countless times, we learned much more about how to direct a kayak in situations where there is no space and a lot of current! we exercise! I would definitely repeat the activity!😳😎

fue tan divertida la experiencia! la pasamos de maravilla, nos reimos, batimos contra las ramas inmensas veces, aprendimos mucho mas de como dirigir kayak en situaciones donde no hay espacio y mucha corriente! nos ejercitamos! sin duda repetia la actividad!🍂🍍🙎‍♂️
