Piñango, the capital of Bolo Andino | Piñango, capital del Bolo Andino ⛰️
ENGLISH VERSION (click here!)
Hello, travelers from around the world.
After visiting Alto El Paramito, Ricardo decided to continue on to the town of Piñango, with the intention of spending the night there since it was already past 5 p.m., but I honestly wanted to go back to Timotes—however, I trusted his decision.
It took us about an hour to reach Piñango in the state of Mérida, a small village with cobblestone streets and colorful houses with wooden roofs and red tiles. Some of the residents were walking around; we entered through the town’s exit—you’ll see later why I mention this.
We arrived at Plaza Bolívar; its walkways lead us straight to the center of the square, where a sculpture featuring a bust of the Father of the Nation, our Liberator Simón Bolívar, stands—which, by the way, was unveiled on July 24, 1953.
Right across from the plaza stands the parish house, and next to it is the Church of Santa Lucía de Piñango, with its simple architecture and those details visible as soon as you enter the church that make us feel as though this town is frozen in time.
The interior of the church is exactly the kind I really like, with a wooden ceiling and pews, chandeliers, and an aisle leading to a beautiful altar, where Saint Lucy, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception are displayed in small niches; above them hangs a beautiful painting of The Last Supper.
On one side stood the Virgin of Coromoto, Patroness of Venezuela, whose feast day had been celebrated the day before.
Ricardo asked around to see where we could stay, but there were no inns available, so we couldn’t stay in Piñango—which worried me a little. Nevertheless, we said goodbye to this little town, passing by its cemetery and its main entrance, trusting in the road ahead of us and not knowing where it would take us.
See you soon, travelers.

Hola, viajeros de todo el mundo.
Después de conocer al Alto El Paramito, Ricardo decidió continuar nuestro camino al pueblo de Piñango, con la intención de quedarnos a dormir en este lugar ya que eran pasadas las 5 de la tarde, pero yo francamente quería regresar a Timotes sin embargo confíe en su decisión.
Nos llevó aproximadamente 1 hora llegar a Piñango en el estado Mérida, un pequeño pueblito de calles empedradas y casas coloridas con techos de madera y tejas rojas, parte de sus habitantes se encontraban caminando por allí, nosotros entramos por la salida del pueblo ya verán más adelante porque lo digo.
Llegamos a la Plaza Bolívar, sus caminerías nos llevan directo a su centro donde se encuentra regido una escultura con un busto al Padre de la Patria nuestro Libertador Simón Bolívar, que por cierto, fue ignagurada 24 de Julio de 1953.
Justo al frente de la plaza, se encuentra la casa parroquial y al lado la Iglesia Santa Lucía de Piñango con una arquitectura sencilla y con esos detalles desde que entras al templo que nos hacen sentir que este pueblo esta detenido en el tiempo.
El interior de la iglesia es de esos que me gusta mucho, con techo y bancos de madera, candelabros y un pasillo que nos lleva hacía un lindo altar, donde en pequeño nichos está Santa Lucia, el Corazón de Jesús y La Virgen de la Inmaculada Concepción, sobre ellos esta una hermosa pintura de la Última Cena.
En un costado se encontraba la Virgen de Coromoto Patrona de Venezuela, donde un día antes se había celebrado su día.
Ricardo estuvo preguntando donde podíamos quedarnos y no había posada disponible, así que no pudimos quedarnos en Piñango, lo cuál hizó que me preocupara un poco, sin embargo, nos despedimos de este pequeño pueblito, pasando por su campo santo y su entrada principal, confiando en el camino que nos quedaba y sin saber a donde nos llevaría.
Hasta pronto, viajeros.
