With a fairly diverse economy and with agricultural activities that satisfy the consumption of the region.

Below, we present a series of dishes that you should try if you visit the state of Lara, whether it is Barquisimeto or its beautiful and touristic towns. The typical dish par excellence is goat meat, which is of great importance in the Larense region. It is prepared in many ways and is frequently consumed. Among the dishes based on goat we have the goat mondongo, the “olleta de gallo”, mute larense and tostada caroreña.Goat Mondongo: This typical food of the state of Lara is a soup, which is made with the backbone of the goat, its head and the guts. It also has spices, legumes and vegetables that are added to the pot as the cooking process goes through. Olleta de gallo: Also known as “olla de gallo”, it is a typical dish of Spanish gastronomy. Acquired and modified, it adapts to the customs of the state of Lara. Among the ingredients of the “olleta de gallo”, beef, spices, vegetables and sweet wine predominate. Mute larense: it is made in a very similar way of the mondongo. For this dish, the entrails of the goat are used, and it has potatoes and vegetables as other main ingredients. Caroreña tostada: This is one of the most prepared typical dishes of the state of Lara. It is a fried arepa, filled with pata’e grillo (calle “Cricket leg” is shredded goat). On the plate, pork rinds, tomato salad, lettuce, onion and avocado rings, beans with whey and grated cheese, slices and french fries are placed.Tostada caroreña – Gastronomy of Venezuela Cultural differences in the state of Lara Lara is one of the states of Venezuela that has many particularities, from a cultural point of view. Its people are very friendly and have strong religious beliefs. It is not for nothing that it is the capital of the Virgen del Pastora. In Barquisimeto. we can find the Manto de María Monument, dedicated to the “Virgen de la Pastora” and which attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. This is thanks to the procession of the Virgen de la Pastora that has been carried out since 1856. Another thing that differentiates them is the use of papelón in all their gastronomy, instead of sugar. This gives a distinctive touch to your kitchen. But in addition to its religious and culinary richness, the state of Lara also stands out with its typical drinks as we will see below. Typical drinks of the gastronomy of the state of Lara Cocuy: This is a drink that is prepared mainly from the Agave (cocuy) plant. To do this, the plant is cooked to then ferment and finally distill the resulting alcohol. The process of making cocuy begins by removing the head and leaves and then baking over low heat. In this way, the sugars are concentrated and then fermented to obtain the liquor. Without a doubt, cocuy is a vital heritage drink for the region. Cinnamon guarapo: In this drink, the water is boiled until it boils and turned off to place cinnamon sticks as tea. Then it is left to rest until it reaches room temperature, it is flavored with lemon and sweetened with papelón. Caratillo: This is a delicious drink that is very refreshing. It is basically the Lara drink equivalent to Venezuelan “chicha”, with the difference that instead of sweetening it with sugar, panela is used. Its main ingredients are rice, cinnamon and papelón. Semeruco juice: Another very typical drink of the state of Lara is the semeruro juice. It is obtained from a plant called semeruco. To obtain it, it is mixed with alcohol, sugar and semeruco fruits. The product is stored for a while to macerate it and then strained to leave only the liquid. It has a high alcohol content, so it is not suitable for children, The mixture of alcohol, sugar and the taste of semeruco makes this drink a delicacy. As we can see, the gastronomy and drinks of the state of Lara are quite diverse. We invite you to get to know this wonderful place.

Financial planning for both individuals and countries is critical to seeing the sustainability of our future. One of the most relevant aspects for financial planning is to consider the socio-economic environment and disruptive events. One of the disruptive events that has moved the world economy is the price of oil. That is why today we will talk about Hubbert’s Peak Oil theory and its implication in the world economy and global finance. Why is Hubbert’s Peak Oil Theory so important? Hubbert’s peak theory relates directly to the price of oil and how that will affect society at large. Let us remember that oil is the main source of energy and raw materials in the world. This implies that peak oil production will mark the beginning of an era of global economic decline. The Hubbert Peak Oil Theory is a mathematical model proposed by American geophysicist Marion King Hubbert in 1956. Hubbert’s Peak theory attempts to describe the rate of production of non-renewable natural resources, such as oil, over time. This theory suggests that the production of oil, or any other non-renewable resource, follows a bell-shaped curve. This implies that whatever the non-renewable resource will have a maximum and there the decline will begin, but let’s analyze a little more the fundamental elements of his theory. Global Peak Oil Production Key Points of Hubbert’s Peak Oil Theory:Bell-Shaped Production Curve: The theory predicts that oil production in a given area will begin to increase until it reaches a maximum peak. After reaching the peak, oil production will begin to decline, due to the depletion of economically extractable oil reserves. However, we know that technology can extend what are called “economically extractable reserves” when the cost of extraction decreases. Peak Oil Production: The “peak oil” is the point at which oil production reaches its maximum level. Then production will begin to decline, according to Hubbert. This would lead to a significant decrease in oil supply and an increase in prices. Hubbert’s predictions: Hubbert predicted that peak oil production in the United States would peak around 1970. His prediction proved surprisingly accurate. Oil production in the U.S. effectively peaked in 1971. However, fracking later managed to increase sources of unconventional oil Global Applications: The theory has been applied to global oil production. Some proponents argue that the world has already reached or is close to reaching its peak oil production.All this, according to analysts, has and will have significant implications for the global economy and energy security. However, there are some objections to Hubbert’s Peak Oil Theory as we will see below. Criticisms of Hubbert’s Peak Oil Theory Hubbert’s Peak Oil Theory has been the subject of much debate regarding its hypotheses. Critics argue that technological innovation can significantly affect the production bell curve. Examples include hydraulic fracturing and deep-water exploration, which allows the predicted limits to be overextended. In this way, the technology helps to discover new reserves and increase production beyond predictions. Proponents of the peak oil theory argue that while these technologies can delay peaking, they can’t prevent it indefinitely. However, the substitution of energy sources through disruptive technologies can change the resource on which society depends. With this, the production peak is completely modified.   Importance and Current Relevance Hubbert’s Peak Oil Theory has influenced the way government’s view oil production and energy planning. The accuracy of Hubbert’s original model has been questioned. However, the central idea that non-renewable resources have production limits is relevant. This idea remains at the center of debates on sustainability and the future of energy. Today, the discussion of peak oil is also intertwined with climate change and the transition to renewable energy sources, adding another layer of complexity to the global energy landscape. From this approach, let’s analyze how this affects both personal and global finances.   The price of oil and finance While it is true that the peak theory is quite unpredictable, it tells us about foreseeable events that have a significant impact on the economic foundations of people and society. Considering these catastrophic scenarios as a possible reality makes us foresee possible risks. With this, our risk management becomes a necessity and not just an alternative. Many people live with their personal finances on the edge, without considering unforeseen events. A person, company or government with a strategic eye on the threats of the environment may be able to better manage risk. Some analysts believe that the current global inflationary crisis is related to the peak of oil production. The war between Russia and Ukraine and oil prices play a central role in the current crisis. The oil shortages generated by the Russian-Ukrainian war and the high prices as a result are affecting the world. Although we have not seen the peak of oil production, this war shows us its possible effects. Therefore, considering extreme situations in long-term planning is essential to mitigate the underlying risks. How to mitigate the risks of Peak Oil Production? Look for ways to make food and industrial production less dependent on fossil fuels. Also consider petroleum-based fertilizers. In this way we ensure food safety. For Gustavo Mirabal, the Venezuelan financial advisor, we must progressively replace means of transport dependent on fossil fuels to guarantee mobility. Progressively replace fossil fuel-dependent means of transport to ensure mobility. Encourage more sustainable consumption patterns in the population in the face of the decline of oil. To create an awareness of the importance of personal savings to meet the ups and downs of the world economy. The current production peak The current peak of global oil production, according to recent data from April 2024, stands at approximately 81.76 million barrels per day (bpd). This represents a slight decrease compared to the previous month, when production was 82.53 million bpd, and also a small drop compared to the same period a year earlier, which recorded 81.83 million bpd. More generally, global oil supply has fluctuated. In June 2024, global production reached 102.9 million bpd, partly due to increased non-OPEC+ production and the revival of some bioenergy projects. Global supply is expected to continue to grow, reaching an average of 103 million bpd by the end of 2024, and an even larger increase projected for 2025, driven by countries such as the United States, Canada, Guyana and Brazil. This data suggests that while global oil production remains high, geopolitical tensions and market developments may influence the stability and future growth of production. Implications of the decline in oil production globally The onset of the decline in global oil production has profound economic, social and environmental implications, which can affect both producing and consuming countries. Conclusions on the impact of the decline in oil production The decline in oil production is a scenario that poses significant challenges at the global level. However, it also offers an opportunity for the world to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and diversified energy model. Preparing for this scenario will be crucial to mitigate negative impacts and seize opportunities arising from an inevitable shift in the global energy economy.

Gustavo Mirabal Castro has shown that the key to success is not luck but hard work and preparation. A man who prepared to be a lawyer, rider and businessman to carry out his dream … Put the Venezuelan flag to the rhythm of the national anthem in foreign lands … Raise national pride. In a next article we will tell you more about this experience. How was the farm born? Gustavo Mirabal Castro has had contact with horses since he was a child, hence his connection with these animals and passion for the equine. As time passes and he becomes a professional rider and a lawyer business get mixed. Then he takes firm steps towards the crystallization of his dream, to create his own farm. G&C Farm was born from a dream, during his studies in the United States, during which time he participates in the equestrian jumping team of the high school… “And almost 30 years later, ‘the farm’ is a reality product of the joint effort of those who carry out this project,” the athlete told “La Prensa de Caracas” on one occasion. Once in 2009 he opened his equestrian sports training center, the Venezuelan Gustavo Mirabal is fully dedicated to the promotion and marketing of it. As well as the establishment of strategic commercial alliances for the fulfillment of the activities and objectives of G&C Farm. Due to its exclusive dedication to this project is that the farm goes very far and becomes a point of reference within equestrian sport. In addition to the fact that the Caracas rider had the unrestricted support of his wife María Carolina Chapellín de Mirabal who encouraged him at all times and worked with him. “Thanks to this we have managed to have excellent facilities, not only suitable, but adequate for riders to have everything at their disposal and thus achieve our professional goals in this discipline,” he told La Prensa de Caracas. What people don’t know… Many people think that the sport on horseback is simple and very beautiful because they look only at the outside. But when you look closely and immerse yourself in this world, you realize that all things are not simple, that there are many challenges, challenges, envy and trials. In addition to a huge work and equipment that must be counted on so that the horses remain in good condition, shape and health; The barn has everything the animals and workers need. In addition to that all things must be aligned to a purpose: to make the horse grow and be the best, but also the jockey, the trainer, the one who cleans, etc. All parts are pieces of a “machine”. Only when you are inside the block is that you can really know everything that involves going out and jumping on a few bars. Beyond the clean jump there is a great work and daily effort. A passion, a dream, tiredness, laughter, tears, men and women of flesh and blood. Horses that get tired, that get sick, that heal, and that will always have a fresh look to cheer you up, a snort and wag of tail that invites you to climb on it and let yourself go. Horse riding should be in your blood, you have to smell like a stable if you really love horses. That’s the only way it doesn’t matter how exhausted you are, the ill-intentioned comments, or how difficult the day has been. The sun will rise again the next morning and then those beautiful animals will be waiting to go out to train again, to jump again, to believe, to win. Gustavo Mirabal the rider who transcends.

In essence, nature tourism proposes an encounter between nature and its visitors, a transcendental connection.

Why hasn’t tourism in Venezuela exploited its potential? Venezuela is a country rich in beauty and landscapes, but it is also a country rich in oil. Throughout history, Venezuela has dedicated itself to the most valuable products it has to offer. First it was cocoa, then coffee and finally came the oil stage. But the difference is that cocoa and coffee were items that required a lot of labor and resources for their production. In addition, its price was determined by the competition. The case of oil, it was a non-renewable resource that not all countries had. In addition, Venezuela had immense oil reserves. Oil has become the commodity with the highest profit and utility. This caused a small country with a small population to be overwhelmed by sudden wealth. Immense oil revenues transformed the Venezuelan economy. The once rural Venezuela is quickly transformed into an oil Venezuela, as Miguel Otero Silva was well able to reflect in his books “Casas Muertas” and “Oficina Nro 1”. In the first book Miguel Otero Silva portrays the death of small towns dedicated to agriculture. In the second he shows us the enormous wealth that oil brought and with it the benefits and evils of the city … This is how the “monoproducer mania” transformed most Venezuelans from cocoa farmers, coffee farmers to oil industry workers. The huge Venezuelan state was transformed into the way to get oil from the oil fields to the tables of Venezuelans. This is how oil took space in the economy from everything that was not black gold. But let’s see a little more about it.   Oil killed tourism Thus, everything that was not oil or depended on oil was forgotten. Everything could be imported and instead of promoting our beauties, the Venezuelan dedicated himself to seeing the beauties of foreign countries. And for more problems, we become shopping travelers… The place to admire the landscapes, admire the goods and the first world. Few were the initiatives that aimed to give foreign tourists and Venezuelans themselves places in Venezuela to know. This is how places like the Mérida Cable Car, the La Rinconada racetrack, the Caracas cable car or the Humboldt Hotel, at the top of Ávila, emerged. Despite this, tourism was relegated to the background. Present in the plans of all governments, but being the relegated of all when it comes to investing resources. The immense resources relegated tourism and all other economic activities because they were less profitable than oil. Everyone wanted their “drop of oil”. Miguel Otero Silva – Portraitist of Venezuelan Oil Change The most amazing tourist destinations – Tourism in Venezuela looking beyond oil. Tourism is one of the industries that requires greater integration of the social, commercial and service fabric. The relationship of each of the sectors is indispensable to make it prosper in a sustainable way. Gustavo Mirabal Castro, a lover of Venezuelan landscapes, wants to make known both the beauties of Venezuela, as well as its tourist potential and opportunities. Contributing to the dissemination of national tourism is one of the ways you have to put a grain of sand to boost your country… One of the many grains of sand that is putting to raise the name of Venezuela in sports, business and opportunities. Attracting attention to tourism is also an opportunity for the actors of the tourism sector to articulate themselves to once and for all give this sector the success it deserves.
