Photographs of Maracaibo a place to travel.

Maracaibo is a port city located in Venezuela in the north of South America, it has a lake that makes it very special since it is the only lake in the world with a communication to the sea in this case to the Caribbean Sea, for many years it was separated from the rest of the country, it was not until the 1960s that with the construction of the Bridge over Lake Maracaibo, a more fluid communication was achieved.

It has among its attractions a very special architecture, colonial from the time when Spain colonized these lands, which has been preserved as cultural heritage of the city. Theaters, colonial houses that welcome the worshipers, colorful streets with special windows and a Catholic devotion to the image of the Virgin. With its modernity that coexists with its historical legacy.

In the city that traditionalism of the cities of America is still breathed, where the future of the structured left by the colonizers and the good use they have given to preserve them are combined.

It captivates its heat, its colors, its lake, its architecture, its people, its sounds and its special gastronomy, that is why my invitation to visit Maracaibo in Venezuela, you will surely enjoy it.
