"Guaraira Repano", "Guaraí Repano", "Guaraí Ripan", "Waraira Repano", etc.
named
This is how some ignorant people (followers of Hugo Chavez) to the most emblematic mountain of Caracas that has always been one name: Cerro Ávila or shorter El Ávila.
is said that its meaning is something like "the wave that came from afar" or "the sea made land." According to the myths that Chavez repeated, " in ancient times there was no mountain. Everything was flat, you could see into the sea. But one day the tribes offended the great goddess of the sea and it wanted to kill all the people. Then there arose a great wave, the highest he had seen and all the people knelt oe begged forgiveness from the heart to the Goddess and just when the tide was going to descend upon them, became the great mountain that exists today. The goddess had taken pity and had forgiven the tribe .
utterly false ... This was invented by some ignorant or joking! Deliberately? ... ... uhmmmmmm learn! Investigate ... The truth is:
Henry Pittier, quoted by William Beebe in his book "High Jungle", said shortly before mid-twentieth century have meant heard from the mouth of an elderly mountain bordering Caracas were covered with dense forests, while not far away in the river, there were tapirs. These statements are true, properly written and recorded, are critical for understanding the meaning of the name they gave the Indians Caracas to the Cordillera de la Costa, which was not present "Wuaraira Repano", not the poor translation "Sierra Grande" as he thought a governor at the time, but "Wariarepano" or "Warirepano."
not in fact exist in the Venezuelan Caribbean such thing as "wuaraira" nor "Repano." What does exist is warare, wariare, wariaret, local forms to designate the "big beast" ie, the tapir, and the collective suffix-cloth, equivalent to the English word-ero,-ar,-al (ant, palmar, Cambural).
So Wariarepano or Warirepano is the same as "Dantal (repeats Frank Bracho, Maria Lionza clarion and El Ávila, among other authors also suggest the same), word formation similar to that of relict indigenous designations as Campano, or place where there are bushes or caruto expensive, Tucusipano, ie "Tucusital" or Place of tucisitos, in Guarico state, and especially Guararipano, in Falcon State, among others.
The name "Avila" arises during the English conquest. This was because the area between the hill and Papelón Chacaíto Gorge, to the summit "where you see the sea" in 1575 belonged to the Country Mayor Alferez Gabriel de Ávila. This character was one of those who accompanied Don Diego de Lozada during the founding of Caracas. It was ordinary of the city mayor in 1573 and purchased land at the foot of the hill. Subsequently, the property passes to Juan Álvarez de Ávila. When he died in 1795, his son Domingo de Ávila inherited "the pasture and the mountains of the Cerro de Avila, which then sell Juan Manuel Matamoros and his brother Fernando Antonio de Ávila. Is this the reason why people identified possessions of that family as the "mountain of Avila" and is correct ...
Y is called Wariarepano "or" Warirepano "the entire set of mountains that form the Pico Naiguatá, height of 2,765 m, the Silla of Caracas with his seat and his two peaks, the East with the West with 2,640 m 2,478 m, the mole Galindo, with 2,600 m, the mole Keys, with 2,480 m, the mole Goering, with 2,460 m; El Ávila (and Humboldt peak or peak), with 2,159 m, the mole Santa Rosa, 2150 the peak of my Galipán.
So all current denominations (2010) that are being used to rename the "National Park" with "reminiscences pseudoindígenas" are wrong, there is "wuaraira" and less "Repano." We reiterate, you can verify everything, there is ample literature on the subject, just 2 appointments have been made references here. It is embarrassing to verify
as public institutions, tourism and even President Hugo Chavez reaffirmed the use of a misnomer no historical record, invented, with an almost mythological fantasy story that does not correspond to any of the terms used by the Indians throughout the area.
And the most unusual is that there is a group of ignorant of UNESR for a degree in education majoring in "development cultural "calling itself" Waraira Repano "All this is verified and if not create, verify the case where they meet: INCES Los Ruices in Caracas!
El Avila was, is and will always remain the Avila, and all other surrounding mountains still retain their own names. Everything else is fiction that has been invented and, incidentally, with very serious mistake, distorting history and regardless of what environmentalists have recognized professional certificate. And if you want to rename the National Park and put the right one, then use the name or Wariarepano Warirepano or just leave it as was until recently (Avila National Park), but please stop using the harmful aberrations "Guaraira Repano", "Guaraí Repano", "Guaraí Ripan", "Waraira Repano", etc.
