In this post I want to share some photos I took at a tourist site called "House of the father" located in Táchira, Venezuela.

What makes this site so special is that the borders of 4 municipalities converge at this place, so it is like a kind of "border" within the same Táchira state.

Its name comes from the church that is at the top of the hill, where a priest lived who was in charge of taking care of the entire area.

It is a very beautiful place full of beautiful landscapes.

As you can see in the photos, there were a couple of cars in the place. For such an isolated site, there were actually quite a few people.

We decided to climb the stairs to see the church inside. Along the way, I asked my girlfriend to take a picture of me with my camera. I really liked it.

I saw this photo and didn't hesitate to take it. I find the religious elements in it very interesting.

The church interior was very simple but beautiful.

The view from the hill was very beautiful, you could see a small lagoon, and some houses with old facades in the surroundings.

I found this photo very interesting, after analyzing it, I named it "Religion is not the same as spirituality".

There were some farmers who dedicated themselves to taking tourists on horseback rides. I thought it was a very noble way to make a living. I spoke to the man and asked him if I could take his portrait. He said yes, and I really liked the result.

I know that it is very common for people who live here to drive 4x4 vehicles, but I was very surprised to see a truck coming out from the middle of the mountains, a human element surrounded by so much nature, it was epic.

I hope you liked the photos, that I took at the Casa Del Padre. I had a great time being so close to nature and discovering a new place.
