Hello again my friends of steemit today I bring a little of a town of my state Zulia called yukpa is a community of indigenous ethnic groups that are located in the Sierra de Perija, are in various parts of the mountains are characterized by having a different language Indigenous apart from the Yukpa in the state Zulia there are five indigenous peoples: Wayuu, Añu, Japreria, and Barí. Including the yukpa are peoples full of humility, they do not need to have riches because they are people of humility they create their own vessels their own shoes called alpargatas or cotizas guajireñas.

We in the state of Zulia we say to these people guajiros to belong to the indigenous people they are good people put forward their meals are natural of the mountain kitchen in firewood (fires) to sew their meals, they make a type of drink called corn chicha Is rich with milk or without milk, they also create pipes made of only wood and bamboo, they make woven travel knapsacks.

Their cultures are different among them their faces change because of the different ethnic groups that each indigenous people own, their children have fun with whatever they live in the mountains where the environment is totally removed from the city, their houses are made of coconut palm (Palm trees), and bamboos or branches of a dry tree, are characterized by being craftsmen their craft is based on the small thin leaves of the palm, or the fine fibers of sugar cane to make fabrics of suits, skirts or handbags, They also make hammocks, hammocks and are very resistant to your weight.

They have a great realization of cups made with the tree fruit of tapara to make soup spoons, cups, plates and even coladores, they are very close rivers and lagoons for that reason they wash their clothes and also they bathe in them the children are happy in The river playing that happiness !!!.

The indigenous people have a different world than the city are totally different but it is by the characterization that they live totally outside of that environment and it is a harmony to live in that beautiful place as it is the Sierra de Perija there is live is beautiful all nature te Surrounds a son of peace !!
