CARBON MINES! VENEZUELA 2/25/18

HELLO!! How is my dear steemit community? I hope that very well, I want to tell you a great walk that left me great lessons, it was this Sunday, February 25, we went to the national mine of Tachira, located specifically in the municipality of Lobatera.

Some time ago I had the curiosity to make this little excursion to this area, and I found a group of people who do this kind of activities and do not wait a minute to encourage me to go and obviously encourage my group of friends and them without Think about it, they said yes.

And so we started this great adventure !!

First of all, the guide began by giving us the initial talk with their respective recommendations, be careful to walk the road because as you can see it was very stoned, be aware and do not discard trash of any kind along the way, sports boots, hydration, food to eat throughout the day and something that I do not mention but we will keep in mind for the next trip is sunscreen! (We are all like pink shrimp haha)

I was surprised by the number of people we were, we were around 150 including guides, paramedic service for any eventuality that occurred during the course of the day

During the whole tour we were surrounded by huge rocks and a clay soil and every little corner of shade we found was glorious for the tremendous sun that I was making at the time

And this is how we found this well, that despite the high temperatures the water was mega cold and we actually got in to cool down, there we camped for about 3 hours while we fed, refreshed and rested for a while !! the guide told us that normally the water that is there is extremely clean and clear! but for reasons of rain of the previous day it was like this, in any case it was delicious HAHAHA

Then we continue our way until we reach our destination, we reach the big oven! Yes, that structure you see there is a large industrial furnace where they make brick with the coal they extract from there!

is surrounded by that red metal because as it is so old, they took security measures and above all keep the structure much more solid!

this tiny curvature is the entrance for the workers who put the oven into operation

This is a small sample so that more or less have an idea of how it is inside, it is amazing its structure inside and the precision of each brick, within that large functional dome around 7-8 ovens where they completely close their entrances and when igniting, the heat realizes the procedure of burning what makes the block is totally resistant and it serves for big constructions

And that is how the final result is, different types of blocks, everything depends on the temperatures and materials used, I hope you liked them as much as I did, in fact it was a unique experience that I would definitely repeat again !! now leave me your comments if you have ever visited any place like that and what you think :D
