Bridges over the Aro and Caura rivers (Eng - Esp)
Hello friends who are lovers of architecture and design, it is a pleasure to greet you, wishing you an excellent weekend with your loved ones, I am happy to share a new architectural design from my trip to the Bolívar State, which is the largest state in Venezuela and stands out for its natural beauties, mineral resources, hilly and modern constructions, the extensive river network made up of the great Orinoco River and several tributaries or small rivers that make up the hydrography of the state, among them; the Caroní, Aro, Caura, Cuchivero, La Paragua river, among others, on the national highway Ciudad Bolívar - Caicara del Orinoco some of these rivers are located and to facilitate the flow of transport bridges have been built, I believe that in total there are six bridges that you must cross to reach Caicara, the largest bridges of this road artery are located over the Aro and Caura rivers, the latter stands out for its great flow, on the way back from the trip I took advantage of the opportunity To take photos from the car of these bridges, since it is a national highway with fast traffic, it is preferable and safer to take the photo from the car, reducing the speed a little, the view is beautiful and part of the environment can be appreciated.
The bridge over the Caura River has a simple design, a yellow wall and several posts placed several meters from each other on the left side of the bridge, on them are the cables of the power lines, from the wall you can see the river, its flow, on the sides a lush vegetation and in the center a plant formation that looks like a floating carpet, the view of the river is really beautiful, our passage through there was in the morning hours at dawn, you can see the sun and the beautiful color of the clouds at the sunrise king, in a wider view you can see both walls of the bridge and its length, you know that you are reaching the Caura River bridge, because at the entrance of the town there is a facade or main door that consists of two columns with a rectangular roof and triangular endings at the ends, from this point you must prepare the camera to take photos of this beautiful aquatic landscape.
Hola amigos amantes de la arquitectura y el diseño, es un placer saludarles deseando que tengan un excelente fin de semana en unión de sus seres queridos, me siento feliz de compartir un nuevo diseño arquitectónico de mi viaje al Estado Bolívar, que es el estado más grande de Venezuela y destaca por sus bellezas naturales, recursos minerales, construcciones colinales y modernas, la amplia red fluvial integrada por el gran el río Orinoco y varios afluentes o pequeños ríos que integran la hidrografía del estado, entre ellos; el río Caroní, Aro, Caura, Cuchivero, la Paragua, entre otros, en la carretera nacional Ciudad Bolívar - Caicara del Orinoco se ubican algunos de estos ríos y para facilitar el fluido del transporte se han construido puentes, creo que en total son seis puentes que debes pasar para llegar a Caicara, los puentes más grandes de esta arteria vial se localizan sobre los ríos Aro y Caura, este último resalta por su gran caudal, de regreso del viaje aproveché la ocasión para tomar fotos desde el auto a estos puentes, al ser una carretera nacional y de tráfico rápido es preferible y más seguro tomar la foto desde el auto, reduciendo un poco la velocidad, la vista es hermosa y se aprecia parte del entorno.
El puente sobre el río Caura tiene un diseño sencillo, un muro de color amarillo y varios postes colocados a varios metros uno del otro en el lado izquierdo del puente, en ellos se encuentran los cables del tendido eléctrico, desde el muro se puede ver el río, su caudal, a los lados una frondosa vegetación y en el centro una formación vegetal que parece una alfombra flotante la, vista del río es realmente hermosa, nuestro paso por allí fue en horas de la mañana al amanecer, se observa el sol y el hermoso color de las nubes a la salida del astro rey, en una vista más amplia se aprecian ambos muros del puente y su longitud, sabes que estás llegando al puente río Caura, pues en la entrada del pueblo se ubica una fachada o puerta principal que consiste en dos columnas con un techo de forma rectangular y terminaciones triangulares en los extremos, desde este punto debes ir preparando la cámara para tomar fotos de este lindo paisaje acuático.
From both bridges you can see beautiful landscapes, the Caura river bridge, as I already mentioned, is a yellow wall with a line in the center, this is also yellow, the floor is asphalt and has a kind of cornice of the same color at the base of the wall, for its part the Aro river bridge is made of iron, in gray, like the Caura river bridge, it has a yellow wall but this one is smaller, on top of this wall are the railings and on the sides the tubes that serve as support for the bridge, in this area you can see the small Islands that are characteristic in the dry season, between the months of January and March they are best observed, these small Islands, which are formed when the flow of the river decreases and a large portion of land known as the Aro Islands emerges, according to the information of a resident of the area, they are a very popular tourist destination for fans of photographs and aquatic landscapes, who gather at the place to take beautiful photos of the spectacular landscape.
Desde ambos puentes se aprecian hermosos paisajes, el puente del río Caura como ya lo mencioné, es un muro de color amarillo con una línea en el centro, esta también es de color amarillo, el piso es de asfalto y tiene en la base del muro una especie de cornisa del mismo color, por su parte el puente del río Aro es de hierro, en color gris, al igual que el puente del río Caura, tiene un muro amarillo pero este es más pequeño, encima de este muro se encuentran las barandas y a los lados los tubos que sirven desoporte al puente, en esta área se aprecian las pequeñas Islas que son características en la época de sequía, entre los meses enero y marzo se observan mejor, estas pequeñas Islas, que se forman cuando el caudal del río baja y emerge una gran porción de tierra conocida como las islas del Aro, según la información de un señor habitante de la zona, son un destino turístico muy concurrido por los aficionados de las fotografías y paisajes acuáticos, que se dan cita al lugar para hacer lindas fotos del espectacular paisaje.
Before reaching the bridge over the river we get a mural that reads: "Welcome to Río Aro", this is located on one side of the road and is painted in the colors yellow, blue and red, from here we have a complete view of the bridge, which has a rectangular shape and is made up of several tubes that join the sides forming triangles and at the top other intertwined tubes that form a kind of pentagon, inside the pentagon there are also triangles with thinner tubes that support the bridge, on both sides of the bridge you can also see the abundant vegetation, at the time we crossed the bridge you could already see the beautiful clouds and the sun's rays on the plants, in addition to the triangular shape on the roof there is a space between the tubes and this space forms three triangles, one facing up and the others with the point facing down, and on the sides there are also small triangles that complement these tubes and serve as support.
On several occasions I have passed by these bridges and I had never taken photos of them, this was the perfect opportunity to do so and I made the most of it, I liked the view of the surroundings, the design of the bridges and my favorite the small islands of the Aro, it was a great trip and a nice adventure in the state of Bolívar that I enjoyed in the company of my little one, we visited several places and some we saw for the first time.
Antes de llegar al puente sobre el río conseguimos un mural donde se lee: "Bienvenidos a Río Aro", este se ubica a uno de los lados de la carretera y está pintado en los colores amarillo, azul y rojo, desde aquí tenemos una vista completa del puente, que tiene forma rectangular y está compuesto por varios tubos que se unen a los lados formando triángulos y en la parte superior otros tubos entrelazados que forman una especie de pentágono, dentro del pentágono se ubican también triángulos con tubos más delgados que dan soporte al puente, a ambos lados del puente se aprecia también la abundante vegetación, a la hora que cruzamos el puente ya se podían ver las hermosas nubes y los rayos del sol en las plantas, además de la forma triangular en el techo queda un espacio entre los tubos y este espacio forma tres triángulos uno hacia arriba y los otros con la punta hacia abajo y en los laterales también triángulos pequeños que complementan estos tubos y sirven de soporte.
En varias ocasiones he pasado por estos puentes y nunca les había tomado fotos, esta fue la oprtunidad perfetca para hacerlo y la aproveché al máximo, me gustó loa vista del entorno, el diseño de los puentes y mi favorita las pequeñas islas del Aro, fue un gran viaje que y una linda aventura en el estado Bolívar que disfruté en compañía de mi pequeño, recorrimos varios lugares y algunos los vimos por primera vez.
Blessings!
¡Bendiciones!

Thanks @worldmappin.
Greetings!
Hey @belkyscabrera you are welcome.
Thanks for using @worldmappin 😘
the construction of this bridge reminds me of the construction in my city. It's really sad when the government has built a lot but it is quickly stolen by irresponsible people @belkyscabrera
Hello @maytom, this road artery has several bridges, with varied and simple designs that allow vehicular flow, it is sad that people destroy a work that is for their benefit.
Greetings!
I hope to one day have the joy of visiting the state of Bolivar, it is a country with great natural resources. This bridge is very emblematic.
Hello @dinaaczib, the Bolívar state has beautiful landscapes, including the great Sabana, and Angel Falls, I hope that you will be able to visit this state very soon.
Greetings!
You managed to capture the beauty of this bridge well on the way, its architectural value is really visible. It's amazing, have a nice day my friend ♥️
Hello @riyat, the bridges have simple designs that, in addition to facilitating vehicular flow, allow you to observe the surroundings and its beautiful landscape.
Happy weekend!
Wow, this is a typical bridge that is very similar to the one I have in my area. In my area, there are bridges of this type that are hundreds of years old since the Dutch colonial era. Until now, they are still sturdy and functioning well.
Hello @titisnariyah, this type of bridges have a simple but functional design, on the aforementioned road, there are several of them that allow vehicular passage and have been built for several years.
Greetings!
Bridges are incredible feats of engineering and architecture that we couldn't deny. And I'm glad that Venezuela has benefited immensely from these marvels of steel and concrete since time immemorial. Awesome explorations @belkyscabrera! 😊
Thanks for Elevating Architecture and Design with Hive!
Greetings @storiesoferne, thanks to the advancement of engineering and architecture have managed to build these important structures to facilitate vehicular traffic and shorten distances, but for these works land travel would be longer and lose the opportunity to observe the wonderful surroundings.😚
Have a great day!
It's all about genuine connections. And whether they're human relationships or the engineering and architectural marvels of bridges that link various destinations, exploring other interesting places have become much easier. Thank you for showcasing Venezuela's marvels @belkyscabrera! 😊
