La Trepadora (English title:Passionate Revenge) is a 2008 Venezuelan telenovela produced by RCTV based on a novel of the same name written by Rómulo Gallegos in 1925.

Nicolás del Casal is a direct descendant of Cantarrana's previous owners, the hacienda where Hilario, his half-uncle, and his family have been residing.

Raised in Europe, he returns to Venezuela to face his past, and he plans to repossess the property which was taken from his father, Louie del Casal.

Victoria is also the daughter of Hilario Guanipa, the bastard son of Jaime del Casal, who will be the center of Nicolás' revenge.

Hilario grew up resenting his half brothers who always made him feel inferior to them and under the social prejudice of being an illegitimate child.
