RANCHO GRANDE (BIG RANCH Biological Station)
I am a lover of photography and it is this opportunity I will show you a series of photos that I captured from one of the places that I have always liked, this is Rancho Grande.
And this is a bit of its history
The Dr Alberto Fernández Yépez biological station "Rancho Grande" is located within the Henri Pittier National Park and is a structure that dates back to the time of General Juan Vicente Gómez; its purpose was to be a luxury hotel for foreign visitors, promoted by General Gómez.
After the death of Gómez the building was left in total abandonment and it was not until the arrival of Pittier that he took great interest in this place since Pittier was the one who promoted the care of the flora and fauna of our country from noticing the Great ecological value that this beautiful place has.
It should be noted that the first national park in Venezuela was the Rancho Grande National Park and this is thanks to Pittier's hard work, which is why after his death the park went on to bear his name.
The biological station Rancho Grande is located at kilometer 12 of the road to Ocumare from the coast and this point is known to be of the cloud forest type, in addition to being quite close to an ABRA or as it is also known as a passage of migratory birds so they can get to appreciate a great diversity of birds during some seasons of the year.
But the biological station also has a unique design and in its corridors you can breathe the magic of history and the energy of nature with great strength.
These have been some of my photos, which I have come to take with total dedication.
This is one of my favorite places in the world, it is a perfect climate, it is a unique connection and always in each visit you can find new things to see new paths to travel and above all new experiences to learn from.
This place is unique because it not only offers a unique ecology but also views to photograph not only the nature but the perspectives of the structure, in this post I only leave some views, then I will upload another one with a bit about the vegetation and its animals.

Es una experiencia que vale la pena. Más si te gusta el aire libre y estar en contacto con la naturaleza.
