I am your travel agent @vivigibelis and I will take you to majestic places in the state, to connect with nature and also to enjoy the local gastronomy.

Lara state is located in the central-western region of the country, so its climate is tropical and it has high regions at sea level, due to this some places have a cold climate, and on the other hand cities and towns where the heat is very felt .

La Olla

To begin we will go on an excursion to "La Olla" spa, has everyone ever gone hiking? If your answer is Yes, it will be very fun and if the answer is No, with this route you will surely learn to connect with nature. To get to the waterfalls you must walk approximately 2 hours and it is located between the border of the Iribarren and Palavecino municipalities, just one hour from the city of Barquisimeto.

Here you can swim, take pictures and enjoy the forest in all its extension.

Town of santa rose
We can visit the town of Santa Rosa in the city, which has a very spiritual meaning for all the inhabitants of the state, since in it is the image of the Divine Shepherdess, patron saint of the town of Larense.

Every January 14, this image makes a procession to the cathedral of Barquisimeto and is considered the third most important pilgrimage in the world.

Around the sanctuary there is a viewpoint with a view of the city and in addition to local vendors offering handicrafts, accessories, paintings on the occasion of the Virgin, no tourist can leave Barquisimeto without such a special souvenir. There are also ice cream parlors, a plaza and a colonial road that gives it a unique appearance.

Waterfall El Altar

Another special city on the outskirts of Barquisimeto is Sarare, Simón Planas municipality, which has one of the most emblematic waterfalls in the region, called "El Altar", it is a phenomenal and crystalline waterfall, surrounded by beautiful vegetation, huge stones that create a natural pool and is ideal for a bath and enjoy with the family.

Getting there is simple, the road is adequate and you can take pictures, go hiking, and wear appropriate clothing.

World of Pedro and Pablo

And from so much walking makes you hungry and you want to taste Creole food, arriving in Venezuela is undoubtedly synonymous that you will enjoy a meal with delicious flavors, the grills with different cuts of meat are famous but if I have to take them to a restaurant and also a tourist place it would be to the "World of Pedro and Pablo", on the outskirts of the city, in the municipality of Palavecino is this site, cataloged as one of the best in the region, not only for the variety of dishes, but for the peculiarity that for only $15 you can enjoy all the food you want, including meats, desserts, salads, pasta, fruits, it is impossible to name everything you can find but without a doubt you will leave very satisfied.

Here you can taste Venezuelan beer, enjoy a good chat, use the swimming pools and take many photographs to remember.

Obelisk of Barquisimeto

You cannot leave the city without visiting the famous Obelisk of Barquisimeto and its surroundings, which is absolutely beautiful, colorful and gives you scenarios to capture very beautiful and original images due to the attractions, sculptures, and that background so typical of the region. .

This Obelisk is an icon for every Larense inhabitant, it is impossible not to admire its length and that clock on the heights, at Christmas time dazzles with many lights, it is exorbitant.
