“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”
~ Lao Tzu

Travelling is one of the biggest pleasures known to mankind. Since the Stone Age, man loved to travel places to enjoy the whimsical strokes of Mother Nature’s artistry scattered about him. Travelling is not just about exploring. There is more to it than meets the eye. Travelling helps to re-establish the harmony that once existed between Mother Nature and mankind.

When it comes to travel, nothing even comes close to what Venezuela has to offer. Being one of the most talked-about travel destinations, Venezuela prides itself on attracting an endless stream of visitors throughout the year that just cannot seem to get enough of the otherworldly beauty. Reeking of a sepulchral charm, Venezuela offers tourists something they will come across nowhere else in the world.

While Venezuela emerges as a true traveler’s paradise, one of its several cities that steal the show is Valencia. Founded on 25th March, 1555, Valencia is the capital city of the state Carabobo.

Unlike many Venezuelan cities, Valencia has the famous VLN- Valencia International Airport facilitating travelers from across the globe to reach their desired destination with minimal hassle.  Also, one can choose to use the CCS-Maiquetia International Airport. It is the biggest airport in Venezuela and can get you to Valencia after a 2-hours drive if you choose to land here.
