Hi, @irvinc
What a special place! Yes, you have many reasons to complain about the urbanity that has destroyed old and beautiful spots. However, we still have some of the mountain splendor left, despite those who insist on renaming it. Avila or Waraira Repano is still imposing.
You know, my friend. I hope you will soon be able to return to it and relive the emotions of the encounter with nature.
I, for one, don't rule out an upcoming ride (by cable car) in those places either.
Greetings.
