ANIMAS DE GUICA. Gone was the last half year of 1911 and the first half of 1912 was about to end when people realized that they had reached the limit of seeing an eternal blue sky and a horizon without clouds. In Caracas at that time, yellow fever, bubonic plague and smallpox killed the population and simultaneously, Paraguaná became a land of streaks and dust funnels. A whole year without rain forced people to look as the only hope of salvation, the bluish mountain range breaking the horizon to the south. Paraguana was then a land of roads and transport of trains. It is useless to be rich at that time in these places. The thirst was inclement and caravans of people and groups of people undertook an uncertain path towards the Falconian sierra and those who could, fled by sea to other points of the coast. Without water, without food and as temporary roofs, the shadows of the survivors cujies ... the people tried it and in their journey, they left this world with their body exposed to the sun and the sand ... Found some time later their bones half-buried by the same sand, were collected and buried in tumults where later they would erect chapels to remember them .... That is the origin of the Animas del Guasare and the Animas de Güica.
