The oldest city in western Venezuela, Coro was founded in 1527 and possesses a rich, varied cultural heritage. Prized as the first settlement established by Spanish conquerors who colonized the continent's interior, Coro became the first capital of Venezuela Province, and then the first German colony in the Americas, known as Neu-Augsburg. A tour of Coro's attractions reveals this changing history of colonial firsts in museums, galleries, and architectural landmarks. An impressive 602 well-preserved colonial buildings in the port area are a designated World Heritage Site because of their age and their blending of Southern and Central European styles. Add a bit of nature to your trip to Coro by heading to nearby beaches and national parks, offering some of the region's most popular sites for exploration and recreation.
