Domingo de Aventura (Parte 2: Ruinas de "La Mostaza" y Fresas con crema) / Adventure Sunday (Part 2: Ruins of “La Mostaza” and Strawberries with cream) (ENG/ESP)

=========== ENGLISH VERSION ===========

After our rappel jumps, we continued our adventure visiting an area that is linked to the history of the country.

The ruins of the hacienda “La Mostaza” are located between Lagunetas and El Jarillo (both towns in the state of Miranda); our guide told us that in the time of slavery near the area, there was a hacienda where men and women were brought from Africa and forced to do hard labor; if they rebelled or did not want to work, they were sent to a small barracks located a few kilometers away.

The ruins of the place of confinement was what we visited.

Our guide explained that the slaves were tortured with whips, had their fingers amputated and were locked in subway jails about 30 meters below the ground, without food or water.

There, they were left to their fate until they died; and as more rebel slaves arrived, the procedure was repeated where all the corpses and unconscious men ended up in the same pit.

For that reason, the place is considered to be a dark area; where there have been supernatural sightings and where usually, it is presumed, black magic rites are performed.

When we arrived at the site, we were all excited about the rappel trip; but as soon as we began to enter the ruins, there was a unanimous silence, interrupted only by the voice of our guide.

We took pictures at the site and left, looking for the relief of civilization and to leave behind the dense aura of the place.

We returned to the van and made a brief stop at a small stall to eat strawberries and cream before heading back to Caracas.

That's how my journey of my Sunday adventure ends.

=========== VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL ===========

Luego de nuestros saltos en Rapel; continuamos nuestra aventura visitando una zona que está ligada a la historia y del pais.

Las Ruinas de la hacienda "La Mostaza" estan ubicadas entre Lagunetas y el Jarillo (ambas, localidades del estado Miranda); nuestro guia nos contó que en la epoca de la esclavitud cerca, de la zona; habia una hacienda; en la cual traian hombres y mujeres de Africa y los obligaban a hacer trabajos forzados; si se sublebaban o no querian trabajar; eran enviados a un pequeño cuartel ubicado a unos kilometros de distancia.

Las ruinas del lugar de encierro; fué lo que visitamos.

Nuestro guia, nos explico que los esclavos eran torturados con latigazos, se les amputaban los dedos y se dejaban encerrados en carceles subterraneas de aproximadamente 30metros bajo el suelo, sin comida, ni agua.

Alli, eran dejados a su suerte hasta morir; y a medida que llegaban mas esclavos rebeldes, se repetia el procedimiento donde todos los cadaveres y hombres inconscientes iban a parar a la misma fosa.

Por ese motivo, se considera que el lugar es una zona tenebrosa; donde han habido avistamientos sobrenaturales y donde usualmente, se presume; se realizan ritos de magia negra.

Al llegar al lugar, todos estabamos emocionados por la travesia del rappel; pero apenas empezamos a adentrarnos a las ruinas, hubo un silencio unanime, interrumpido unicamente por la voz de nuestro guia.

Nos tomamos fotografias en el lugar y nos retiramos buscando el alivio de la civilizacion y de dejar atras el aura tan densa del lugar.

Volvimos a la camioneta y he hicimos una breve parada en un pequeño puesto para comer fresas con crema; antes de partir de vuelta a Caracas.

Asi es como termina mi travesia de mi Domingo de aventura.
