Tovar
Tovar, Mérida, Venezuela
Description
Tovar is a welcoming Andean city in Mérida state, the heart of the Mocotíes Valley and known as «the Athens of Venezuela» and «cradle of Andean art». Officially established in 1850 in honor of Martín Tovar y Ponte, it sits at about 952 meters of altitude, with a temperate mountain climate that invites you to stay. With its famous Coliseo El Llano —the only covered bullring in the country— and a rich cultural life, Tovar serves as the administrative, commercial, and connecting hub of the valley, linking mountain communities with the rest of the Andes and of Venezuela.
Tovar holds a population of around 48,395 inhabitants, spread across a surface area of roughly 7 km², and forms part of a conurbation exceeding 100,000 residents, the third in Mérida state (Wikipedia, "Tovar (Mérida)", accessed 2026). Its economy revolves around the valley's agricultural activity, commerce, transportation, and tourism, functioning as an important collection and distribution center for the production of neighboring communities.
