For 50 years I have been going to the Vargas coast. I was 19 years old when we camped in La Sabana and bathed in the Cura well. The road was dirt and there were epic neighborhoods where the cars spent hours trying to avoid them and that was the best plan. You had to cross the rivers that rose every time a can of water fell. There were no inns, no restaurants, not even the Todosana ice creams.
Much less gas station, which remains the same, but at one time there was one in Los Caracas. The unusual thing is that we never got to Chuspa. And in the years that my dad and my mom lived in Caruao which were 17 we only went there to buy fish or suddenly take a boat to Caribe beach when the trend started and it was rich, because no one went and we took chairs, an awning, snacks, cava...
One day I met Carlos Henríquez in Guayabal, he led us to the pool and I learned that he was a Chuspa guide. I like to support the local guides because they will always be the best allies of visits.
They know their surroundings, they live there, the neighbors know who they are. They trust them. They care and they strive to have it right. So I asked Carlos to be our guide in Chuspa and he turned out to be royal because we shared what I knew with what Carlos knew. Tourism is a generous profession. That was the first practice. Because the truth is I ended up teaching a guiding workshop. Tourism. Thus we arrived at two houses that they rent in the Paramancito area, an inn just up there, several inns in the town, a fishmonger, a barber, little shops, tarantines on the beach and many of the companies that provide travel services by peñero. to go to the nearby beaches.
We arrive by sea to each of the beaches, I tell you what each one is good for, how to get there, what services it offers and what I like and what I don't. I also discovered a great place to camp right there in Chuspa and I knew where the milestone was that marks the limit between Miranda and Vargas. And since you have to remove the salt water and Carlos is a native of Guayabal, we arrived at the Dos Puertas – which is how they named the pool – and what would be my surprise when I saw that the locals even provided a raft service to cross to the pools above , because the only way was swimming and it is very deep. They also help visitors carry their bags. A community that prepares for tourism and keeps everything neat.
