Carabobo, the land of the possible

Its name was taken from the battle that took place on June 24th 1821 and that battle sealed the Venezuelan Independency, remaining nowadays as a symbol in the “Carabobo Field”.

Carabobo is actually one of the states which has a high agrarian and industrial development, where corn, tobacco, sugar cane and potatoes are grown and it is famous because of its sweet oranges and its metallurgic and petrochemical activities equally important for the region.

Valencia is the capital city and in it can be found a modest colonial downtown which holds some of the most significant national monuments of the country:  The house of the stars, The Paez’s house, the Celis’s house, the San José Temple, The Municipal Theater and the Colonial Museum, among many other which were build in the XVIII century and nowadays are head offices of colonial art and history centers.

Carabobo also has the second most important port of the country: “Cabello Port”, filled with gorgeous lodges and tourist services that come with a recently restored colonial downtown.  To the west of the port, a point of great tourist attraction can be found and this point is shown among others by the “La Rosa, Quizandal, Huequito, Patanemo and Long Island” beaches.

This state also holds the marvelous thermal waters. Surrounding the waters “Las Trincheras Thermal Center” can be found.  Known by its springs, which flow from the earth at 197.6 degrees Fahrenheit, this center takes advantage of these waters and take them to be used in the hydrotherapy that is provided there. These waters are also famous for being the second most important of the world due to their chemical composition.

Take care of your environment so we can all enjoy this beautiful country
