Lagunillas
Lagunillas, Mérida, Venezuela
Description
Lagunillas is a city of deep historical roots and rich cultural value, the capital of the Sucre Municipality in Mérida State. Set in the central part of the state, in a warm valley of the Chama River, Lagunillas preserves the memory of the ancient Indigenous peoples who inhabited its lands and gave rise to the famous colonial reservations of the region. Today it is declared a Cultural Heritage Site of Venezuela and stands out for the Laguna de Urao, a natural monument unique in the country for its salt waters. As a crossroads between the Andes and the south of the state, Lagunillas plays an essential connecting role for neighboring communities.
Lagunillas is the capital of the Sucre Municipality, which also includes the parishes of Chiguará, Estánques, Pueblo Nuevo, San Juan and La Trampa; according to recent estimates, the municipality exceeds 70,000 inhabitants (Wikipedia, «Sucre Municipality (Mérida)», accessed 2026). The city lies about 1,070 meters above sea level and its economy combines the agriculture of the warm valleys with growing commercial and tourist activity, driven by natural attractions such as the Laguna de Urao itself.
