Catia La Mar is a coastal city and port on Venezuela's central seaboard, in La Guaira state (formerly Vargas), with founding roots in 1558, when Francisco Fajardo established the old "Villa de Catia." Bathed by the Caribbean Sea and embraced by the coastal mountain range, Catia La Mar blends its fishing and port tradition with a calling as a gateway to the country: just minutes away lies Maiquetía International Airport, Venezuela's main airport. Its cheerful, hardworking coastal people make this city a natural connection point between the coast, the capital, and the rest of the world.
