I Couldn’t Believe This Existed in Venezuela – EP.439

Once you were a dancer, right?

The following was said by a journalist from the german network DW
"The germans in Venezuela aren't nazis who fled europe; those are in argentina and chile"

I was like 🫴
My Goodness 🤭🤭🤭

It's so strange, you seem to never have time even what you are doing is riding a bike. I couldnt do that, the point of this type of adventure is to make your own time, else you'll miss a lot. That first restaurant in the top of the mountain past the military checkpoint had the best view of the city, yet you just cruised by, just saying. If you want to stay, stay, you won't get this change again, and a night spent at Colonia Tovar, eating strawberry and cream, german beer, best bbq, all kinds of fruit, blackberrys, blueberrys, etc it's a unique magical experience. Cheers.

I used to visit often the Colonia Tovar when living in Venezuela. Love the german food. Thanks for sharing. Dios te bendiga 🙏

Esas cervezas llegando al 1er bar las he visto en Perú

Colonia Tovar was a project of the italian cartographer, war criminal and pedophile Agustin Codazzi. He convinced president Carlos Soublette, himself a war criminal, to give him funds to chart a boat, go to germany, find the most impoverished and wretched peoples he could find, ideally orphans, widows and war refugees from the napoleonic wars, and sweet talk them into immigrating into a tropical paradise, all expenses paid by the government of Venezuela. He promised them that there would be a town ready for them, but all he could manage was to build a dirt road from La Victoria and a single shed with some vital supplies, basically grain and wood working tools. For the first two years, the colony lived from the scarce grain that Codazzi could send them in mule packs from La Victoria. All paid by the government of Venezuela. About half of the settlers escaped to Caracas and were helped by the small local german community. After two years of support, the settlement began earning money from agriculture and stabilized. Why do i call Codazzi a pedo? Because he writes in his letters to Soublette about how he kept a few girls for himself.
The whole project was lunacy and served nothing to no one. A waste of money and lives. It was just a chance for Codazzi to score some orphans.
You can read the original documents here, mostly are decrees by the government of Venezuela in the 1840s and also the letters of Agustin Codazzi

The government of Venezuela would continue to do such silly "whitening" population replacement projects roughly until the 1970s, trying to attract european migrants with offers of land, cash and quick granting of the nationality, such as the Turen Colony, the cacao plantations of Sucre, given to corsicans, and discrete land grants south of Maracaibo lake.

Just hope that the germans don't become the new testaferos from nicolacito…..it was surreal that the spiegel interviewed him.

Not a true story they were welcome in my country like italians, swiss, european people, everyone

It's very interesting. A piece of Germany inserted in South America. Thank you for showing such beautiful town, not to mention the gorgeous landscape.

Hi! The landscapes are beautiful, but your information is way off. You aren't in the Andes Mountains; you're in the Coastal Range. Also, they weren't abandoned on the coast; they arrived sick and had to quarantine. They were part of an agreement that fell through later on (that part is true), but it happened once they arrived at that specific location, which was designated and donated for their stay. Anyway, you should do a bit more research to get your facts straight, but thanks for promoting our town. Welcome!!! 🇻🇪"

In 32 years, I haven't gone there once, maybe one day xD thanks for sharing 🙂

Las montañas que atravesaste pertenecen a la Cordillera de la Costa, o Litoral Central; Los Andes Venezolanos los dejaste muy atrás en el Centro Occidente del país ( Estados Trujillo y Lara). Por cierto, entraste a la Colonia Tovar atravesando el Parque Nacional Henry Pittier. Gracias por visitar a mi hermoso país, Venezuela es una Tierra de Gracias Maravillosa y sorprendente rica en biodiversidad y parajes geográficos extraordinarios y también súper diversos. Qué lo pases super bien recorriendo el país, te acabo de descubrir y me ha gustado tu experiencia de rodar por Venezuela.

Esa no es la cordillera de los Andes, es la cordillera de la Costa, que se extiende desde Yaracuy hasta los estados Sucre y Monagas, incluida dentro de esta cordillera el Parque Nacional "El Avila" que está ubicado entre La Guaira, Caracas y el estado Miranda!

8:41 you asked him: do you speak German ? and he replied: Yes.

Then, you start speaking to him in English , looool.

Nice video, I miss my country so your video makes me feel really pleasant

The black woman with hijab is gorgeous

Holaaa. Esas montañas no pertenecen a Los Andes. Esas montañas son parte de la cordillera de la costa. Saludos 😅
