Travel Guide Choroní - Puerto Colombia

145 km from Caracas, Choroni, the small village founded over 300 years ago, is not really on the coast. In fact, Choroni also designates the village of Puerto Colombia, whose fishing, with tourism and cocoa, is the main resource. In 1843, this colonial village came to the German Black Forest, which founded the Colonia Tovar. The Santa Clara church has a very interesting bill. The two villages are truly calm and relaxing, and are a pleasant step in Venezuela. To reach this point, you will have to borrow a mountain road painstakingly won on a wet, dense and lush vegetation. Commissioned by Gómez in the 1920 s, this road claimed the lives of many bagnards, including some political prisoners. The road serpente dying, passing through splendid landscapes, especially with a veritable bamboo forest. The road is worth the move. If you have your own means of locomotion, you will enjoy a fabulous hot chocolate at the kiosks that line the road. In the village of Choroni, in the former house of the dictator Gómez, which had extended its properties until now, is the present Medicatura: she is in front of the colonial Posada. The village of Puerto Colombia at the bottom is surrounded by two rivers: the Rio Choroni on the right and the Rio Tipire on the left. Many beaches are accessible from Puerto Colombia. But in addition to the pleasure of idleness, the black village of Choroni is ignited on Saturday evening in the crackling of the drums of the barlovento; A sensual and primary dance that will put you in trance. An unforgettable experience, or not.
