Río Chico
Río Chico, Miranda, Venezuela
Description
Río Chico is a town full of color and memory located in central-eastern Miranda state, in the warm Barlovento region, of which it is the capital of the Páez municipality. Its history took shape in the 18th century around the many cacao plantations that flourished in the area, worked by people brought from Africa, whose cultural heritage still pulses through the town's music, cuisine and traditions. Close to the sea and to beautiful beaches, Río Chico has established itself as a natural connection point between the Barlovento communities and as a tourist destination valued by those seeking the festive spirit of eastern Miranda.
