Valencia, the capital city of Carabobo State, is the third largest city of Venezuela. A major industrial centre for chemicals and textiles, it lies 150km west of Caracas in Northern Venezuela.
Home to some very beautiful old buildings, museums, parks and art centers, Valencia also boasts of Plaza Monumental de Valencia, the second largest bullring in the world. Páez House, Celis House and Museum of History and Anthropology showcase many fine objects and Venezuela’s colonial heritage. "Valencianos" go to Cerro Casupo Municipal Park, Negra Hipólita Park or Fernando Peñalver Park for their daily workouts. The Acuario de Valencia is the largest aquarium in Latin America, where trained "toninas" (small dolphins) charm everyone. The water slides at "Las Dunas" amusement park are very appealing for children.
