Conociendo la Cascada de Vino Tinto 🍷 Getting to know the Red Wine Cascade [ESP - ENG]
A unos 8 kilómetros del pueblo de Barbacoas, subiendo por una carretera rodeada de montañas y grandes paisajes, nos conseguimos con uno de sectores del Parque Nacional Dínira; Este parque cuenta solo con dos sectores o áreas recreativas dentro del estado Lara, uno es el Sector Buenos Aires (del cual les hablaré más adelante) y éste que es (por así decirlo) uno de los más popular dentro de este parque.
About 8 kilometers from the town of Barbacoas, going up a road surrounded by mountains and great landscapes, we came across one of the sectors of Dínira National Park; this park has only two sectors or recreational areas within the state of Lara, one is the Buenos Aires Sector (which I will talk about later) and this is (so to speak) one of the most popular within this park.
Cuando me hablaron de una cascada donde el agua cae de unos 90 metros de altura, con su increíble color vino, como si se arrojara vino desde lo más alto de la montaña fue difícil de creer. Así que nos dispusimos a conocerla.
When they told me about a waterfall where the water falls about 90 meters high, with its incredible wine color, as if it was thrown wine from the top of the mountain, it was hard to believe. So we set out to see it.
Se trata de la "Cascada El Vino", un lugar que debe su nombre al peculiar color de sus aguas (parecido al vino), gracias a ciertos compuestos orgánicos, entre ellos la antocianina (un colorante natural) que se encuentra contenida en las raíces de las plantas de estas zonas, que al encontrarse con materiales ferrosos disueltos en estás aguas, irradian el típico color tinto característico del vino.
This is the "Cascada El Vino ", a place that owes its name to the peculiar color of its waters (similar to wine), thanks to certain organic compounds, including anthocyanin (a natural dye) that is contained in the roots of the plants in these areas, which, when they encounter ferrous materials dissolved in these waters, radiate the typical red color characteristic of wine.
La temperatura de este lugar es fresca (entre 16 y 20 °C), pero algunos días puede variar, sobre todo en época lluviosa donde toda el área recreativa está cubierta de neblina (incluso hasta horas del mediodía); El verdadero reto acá es bañarse en estos pozos envinados, donde el agua es realmente fría (como recién sacada de la nevera), aparte de que no logras ver su fondo y eso da un poco de miedo, pero ya después que te acostumbras y aclimatas cuesta es salirse del agua.
The temperature of this place is cool (between 16 and 20 °C), but some days can vary, especially in the rainy season where the entire recreational area is covered with fog (even until noon); The real challenge here is to bathe in these wells envinados, where the water is really cold (like fresh out of the fridge), besides that you can not see the bottom and that's a little scary, but after you get used to and acclimatized is hard to get out of the water.
Desde acá se obtiene una vista panorámica de toda el área recreativa del parque, y de la Sierra de Barbacoas; Además que se puede observar parte de la naciente de la quebrada el vino, justo antes de lanzarse 90 metros en caída libre y seguir así su recorrido.
From here you get a panoramic view of the entire recreational area of the park, and the Sierra de Barbacoas, in addition you can see part of the source of the creek the wine, just before launching 90 meters in free fall and continue its journey.
Wells and Waterfalls
La quebrada el vino no sólo alimenta y da vida a la cascada que lleva su nombre, sino que además esconde pozos y otras caídas de agua que son poco conocidas.
Se trata de un circuito de Cascadas con piscinas envinadas; Lo increíble es que estos riachuelos nacen como aguas cristalinas desde lo alto de la montaña y conforme van descendido se unen a otras corrientes de aguas que con la suma de compuestos orgánicos y ferrosos le dan el característico color tinto oscuro a este lugar.
The wine creek not only feeds and gives life to the waterfall that bears his name, but also hides wells and other waterfalls that are little known.
It is a circuit of waterfalls with pools wrapped; The incredible thing is that these streams are born as crystal clear waters from the top of the mountain and as they descend they join other streams of water with the addition of organic and ferrous compounds that give the characteristic dark red color to this place.
Entre los pozos que se consiguen en esta Sierra de Barbacoas, existe uno que se ha convertido en punto de referencia turística por su particular belleza y misterio, siendo contado incluido por muchos grupos de excursión entre sus tours viajeros dentro del Parque.
Among the wells that can be found in the Sierra de Barbacoas, there is one that has become a tourist reference point due to its particular beauty and mystery, being included by many excursion groups in their tours inside the park.
Conocido por algunos como "Las Espumosas" la cual se crea por la turbulencia de sus aguas y por otros como "Pozo los duendes" por algunos mitos y leyendas que lo encierra. Este lugar se trata de pozos enviados alimentados por la misma quebrada el vino; Ubicados justo a orillas de carretera, en un valle rocoso donde turistas y visitantes pueden hacer una parada y refrescarse con sus frías aguas.
Known by some as "Las Espumosas" which is created by the turbulence of its waters and by others as "Pozo los duendes" by some myths and legends that encloses it. This place is about sent wells fed by the same creek the wine; Located right on the roadside, in a rocky valley where tourists and visitors can make a stop and cool off with its cold waters.
Más adelante desemboca en una cascada que lleva su nombre "Cascada los duendes" convirtiéndose así en punto obligatorio a visitar por aquellos que quieren vivir la experiencia completa de estas sierras larenses.
Further on, it flows into a waterfall named "Cascada los duendes", making it an obligatory point to visit for those who want to live the complete experience of these mountains.
