Garden City

The capital of the state of Aragua, Maracay serves as an ideal place to load up on supplies before continuing on to the tropical Caribbean beaches sitting just to the north. Although most visitors don't dwell here, this city of about 1 million inhabitants offers a handful of interesting sights, including colonial churches, leafy plazas, small museums, and modern shopping centers. Add these to the rainforest and mountains of the national park separating the city and the coast and you're ensured plenty of options for Maracay places to visit. Use our Venezuela journey builder app to arrange the hows, wheres, and whens of your trip to Maracay.
