Ciudad de Nutrias, Colonial town in Barinas State, Venezuela
Ciudad de Nutrias lies along the tributaries of the Apure River, forming a strategic location for regional trade and agricultural activities in Venezuela.
The settlement was established in 1774 by priest Juan José Paredes to facilitate communication between inland territories and Angostura through river networks.
The town maintains traditional Venezuelan festivals honoring religious figures such as the Immaculate Conception, San Marcos de León, and the Holy Trinity.
Ciudad de Nutrias serves as a center for cattle raising and farming operations, producing corn, rice, and plantains near the Apure River banks.
The town received its name from the numerous otters that inhabited the flowing streams connected to the Apure River during its early development.
