ENGLISH VERSION (click here!) Hello travelers! ![InShot_20250926_145120429.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcBgpN2hBu8NHzo8Gm58CGd7mu5tqABszLBHWjzhownm1/InShot_20250926_145120429.jpg) The Trapiche de los Clavo Museum is a valuable architectural gem in our country, located in the town of Boconó in Trujillo, Venezuela. In our country, trapiche refers to the machines, implements, or tools used to process sugar cane. We must take into account that sugar cane cultivation began in Venezuela in the first half of the 16th century. ![20250913_160314.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUadHqa2DTxEUSqkyZR4vLb2kJNPuRrYTVYmH3Gf8AcEb/20250913_160314.jpg) ![20250913_160225.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmc2XWfWtvLBTXc1fU1jQfo2HNS95KNGtv1Vk5omQVUzBM/20250913_160225.jpg) ![20250913_160229.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbS6zXBtWu5C13EyjARqxbhfocvqXBT7tggLZL1E5fMpc/20250913_160229.jpg) Until 1796, two types of cane were grown in the country: Creole and purple. The former had thin stems and dark green leaves, the second with long purple foliage. In that same year, Otaheiti cane was introduced from Trinidad, which has a higher juice content and was preferred for making aguardiente and rum. Other varieties were cultivated later, such as salangore, cristalina, and BH cane, called cotiza, which spread to almost all regions of the country. ![20250913_160810.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUA5y8PdGqLLurVuZ7DXkkPQEdkDpQEmnAKqsgXDsiWaQ/20250913_160810.jpg) The sugar mills have a grinding area, where workers grind the cane to produce juice that is transported through a channel to a boiling room for cooking. In this area, the mallets stand out, which can be placed vertically or horizontally. Their movement is provided by animal traction, hydraulic power, or mechanical traction with steam or gas. The Clavo sugar mill was hydraulic, and there is a canal that supplies water. ![20250913_160527.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaPUuS8CJELymPQW7Uud1mcJ51E7HaqMww9pCWCteDLyi/20250913_160527.jpg) ![20250913_160512.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPLurKFizhk7jPEpibBt8DyRVi4uenXMQsEDuS71cLPFP/20250913_160512.jpg) ![20250913_160536.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX4XAtYsnKNNU62HiE3rXssChYvzMc2K5M6gB4X9odEAq/20250913_160536.jpg) Sugar cane cultivation in Boconó began a few years after the founding of Trujillo, with the production of panela as a product. This tradition still survives in Boconó, where old sugar mills continue to operate on the outskirts of the city. The Trapiche de los Clavo is now a museum, serving as an ancient testament to the creation of panela in the region. ![20250913_160935.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmetPjWAJSiK46evVxjgJGUdUfYdVvE1UEemCgvzHDacdz/20250913_160935.jpg) The Trapiche de los Clavo Museum gets its name from the custom of naming sugar mills after their owners. Its owner, Don Perpetuo Clavo, was born in Boconó and devoted himself to agriculture from a young age, often selling his products to the villagers. He acquired the land where he built a sugar mill to process sugar cane After his death, years later, the land was expropriated and converted into the museum that I am sharing with you today on this tour. ![20250913_160058.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbRfmStoGzk85C4Yi6LysKmFVVyghGHdtT79CM4KpfGLi/20250913_160058.jpg) ![20250913_160132.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX89KDgVpNTQTmvaFESoYv6Wpq84jDmg7rvtJrBJzDQTa/20250913_160132.jpg) ![20250913_160308.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQoZQpSQc9jXwG6MEfu3EXnZLtJYVGkK46iEGUVAaVH4k/20250913_160308.jpg) Its facilities include an area, which is its original structure or room, where sugar cane juice was extracted in the past and large cauldrons were used to cook the honey, thus obtaining one of its derivatives, panela. Many of the implements used to cook it, such as the pans, are preserved in the museum. ![20250913_161238.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWB938yr8AtxzhdXzg5hSNFtcKZiMZ7Xpwpr34ScpXBxv/20250913_161238.jpg) ![20250913_161240.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmceb7QDuErofVitLifdLSTr2kT12AFGvyVEbG9FpLvWfq/20250913_161240.jpg) ![20250913_161241.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXr6J7Xn5YT3Ru1dDMSEXN7er8B4UPMc94UNMeU332WMq/20250913_161241.jpg) ![20250913_161247.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNfVwidCKNNk2kV5aZbGcHFzUQvSe8JfXGa1x5KTNCKFA/20250913_161247.jpg) ![20250913_161300.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWJTpsUtGJCcbhyzmWPcq6kStFMBqQYuXLcCtXug9pnCU/20250913_161300.jpg) ![20250913_161306.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaHfZaU9CYUir4ufgK6yjaQb7GmiZgEpDHMA3X6BAfQ9C/20250913_161306.jpg) ![20250913_161308.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcnrjjyhoBqhxnfBNLW7bfh7ByF9Jh1QarJxCACm2bGMY/20250913_161308.jpg) ![20250913_161315.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcAreTbGYsJwhXMmRjdY1WmiTWMuFPn1aSBWWSbTxSmXu/20250913_161315.jpg) ![20250913_161324.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRSVs1dAo1sn5wHbYCt5MqndTJQ57mpvm3j759xD3RDZJ/20250913_161324.jpg) Inside the museum there is also a screening room, but it was not operational at the time. I was very struck by a sculpture of an old man leaning on a stick or cane, although I couldn't tell you what it refers to. Leaving this room, I came across the Garden of the Virgin, which is very beautiful, with an image of her. ![20250913_160440.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPskd7UdpxL7RnA6tTUNXzcx4JzYKsjFGjKoX4P7Syn7J/20250913_160440.jpg) ![20250913_160449.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmW4ZxNp4Wiqib6NbsmW4qEQbWBk1J6D1oQGxVv2t6vwo3/20250913_160449.jpg) ![20250913_160454.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUnzUwynB3JmD3zhLjBJy84rgy785uyxFfosKM1Vfdtyj/20250913_160454.jpg) ![20250913_160850.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaymsyfrsmqEvTe78zTgDBd6EvkTFQqahMdT6j2dwAf5U/20250913_160850.jpg) This visit was enriching for me, as I learned a little about how sugar cane is processed and also how my favorite cane derivative, panela or papelón, is made, since I'm not a big fan of rum. See you soon, travelers!

¡Hola viajeros! ![InShot_20250926_145120429.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcBgpN2hBu8NHzo8Gm58CGd7mu5tqABszLBHWjzhownm1/InShot_20250926_145120429.jpg) El Museo Trapiche de los Clavo, es una valiosa joya de la arquitectura de nuestro país, ubicada en el pueblo de Boconó en Trujillo, Venezuela, en nuestro país se le conoce como trapiche a las maquinas, implementos o utensilios que se utilizan para procesar la caña de azúcar, debemos tener en consideración que en la primera mitad del siglo XVI se dió el inicio del cultivo del caña de azúcar en Venezuela. ![20250913_160314.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUadHqa2DTxEUSqkyZR4vLb2kJNPuRrYTVYmH3Gf8AcEb/20250913_160314.jpg) ![20250913_160225.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmc2XWfWtvLBTXc1fU1jQfo2HNS95KNGtv1Vk5omQVUzBM/20250913_160225.jpg) ![20250913_160229.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbS6zXBtWu5C13EyjARqxbhfocvqXBT7tggLZL1E5fMpc/20250913_160229.jpg) Hasta 1796 cultivaban en el país dos clases de caña, la criolla y la morada, la primera de tallos delgados con hojas verde oscuro; la segunda de follaje largo de color morado, a partir del mismo año fue introducida desde Trinidad la caña Otaheiti que tiene mayor cantidad de jugo y fue la preferida para fabricar aguardiente y ron, otras variedades fueron cultivadas posteriores como salangore, la cristalina y la caña BH llamada cotiza, que se extendieron casi todas las regiones del país. ![20250913_160810.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUA5y8PdGqLLurVuZ7DXkkPQEdkDpQEmnAKqsgXDsiWaQ/20250913_160810.jpg) Los trapiches cuentan con un área de Molienda, donde los operarios muelen la caña para producir el jugo que a través de un canal es transportado a un cuarto de fondos para su cocción, en esta área destacan los mazos que pueden ser colocadas en forma vertical o horizontal, su movimiento es dado mediante tracción animal, fuerza hidráulica o tracción mecánica con vapor o gas, el Trapiche de Clavo era hidráulico, destaca presencia de aun canal que provee el agua. ![20250913_160527.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaPUuS8CJELymPQW7Uud1mcJ51E7HaqMww9pCWCteDLyi/20250913_160527.jpg) ![20250913_160512.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPLurKFizhk7jPEpibBt8DyRVi4uenXMQsEDuS71cLPFP/20250913_160512.jpg) ![20250913_160536.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX4XAtYsnKNNU62HiE3rXssChYvzMc2K5M6gB4X9odEAq/20250913_160536.jpg) El cultivo de la caña de azúcar en Boconó se inició pocos años después de la fundación de Trujillo, con la fabricación de la panela, como producto, la misma aún pervive en Boconó, donde antiguos trapiches mantienen su producción en los arededores de la ciudad, el Trapiche de los Clavo actualmente es un museo, se convierte en testimonio antiguo de la creación de la panela en la región. ![20250913_160935.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmetPjWAJSiK46evVxjgJGUdUfYdVvE1UEemCgvzHDacdz/20250913_160935.jpg) El Museo Trapiche de los Clavo, recibe este nombre siguiendo a la costumbre de llamar a los trapiches con el apellido de su propietario, su dueño Don Perpetuo Clavo nació en Boconó, desde muy joven se dedicó a la agricultura, con frecuencia vendía a los pueblerinos sus productos, el adquirió ese terreno donde construyó un Trapiche donde se procesaba la caña de azúcar, después de su muerte y años más tarde los terrenos fueron expropiados y convertidos en dicho Museo y que hoy les comparto en éste recorrido. ![20250913_160058.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbRfmStoGzk85C4Yi6LysKmFVVyghGHdtT79CM4KpfGLi/20250913_160058.jpg)

estructura o cuarto original, donde el pasado se realizaba la extracción del jugo de la caña de azúcar y unos grandes calderos donde se cocinaban sus mieles, y así obtener uno de sus derivados que es la panela, muchos de los implementos para cocinarla como las pailas se conservan dentro del museo.

encontraba operativa, me llamó mucho la atención, una escultura de un anciano sosteniéndose de un palo o bastón que no sabría decirles a que hace referencia, saliendo de esta sala me encontré con el Jardín de la Virgen, por lindo por cierto, con una imagen de la misma. ![20250913_160440.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPskd7UdpxL7RnA6tTUNXzcx4JzYKsjFGjKoX4P7Syn7J/20250913_160440.jpg)

caña de azúcar y además como se fabrica o realiza, mi derivado de la caña favorito que es la panela o papelón, ya que no soy muy amante del ron. ¡Hasta pronto viajeros! --- Fotografías tomadas con un
