This was taken from the bus from Maracay to Puerto Colombia through Parque Nacional Henry Pittier. You can see the mountains that the bus took us over and the typical adobe building style, and that gates similar to this are popular along roads.
This was taken as soon as we arrived in Puerto Colombia, where the town meets the ocean. On the right side of the photo you can see where the boats come in to dock. On the left, you can see the old cannons that used to protect the town from pirates.
This is Playa Grande, a beach a 10 minute walk from our Posada (Hotel/Hostal). The waves were fairly strong, so we were able to play in the surf. This beach is usually very crowded (this picture was taken early in the morning, so the crowds had not yet arrived), so we spent most of our time here in the afternoon or early morning, to avoid crowding and theft. We also went to another beach, Playa El Diario, which is a 2 hour hike away through an arid jungle over a small mountain , and was completely deserted. However, we forgot our camera :(
