Los Aleros

Los Aleros, Historical theme park in Mérida, Venezuela.

Los Aleros is a theme park in Mérida that recreates a traditional Venezuelan Andean town from the 1930s. The grounds feature authentic buildings, historical objects, and exhibitions showing how people lived in different regions of the country.

Alexis Montilla, born in Chachopo in 1944, opened Los Aleros to the public on 28 July 1984 to revive the life and customs of Andean Venezuela at the end of the 1930s. He later created the nearby parks Venezuela de Antier and Montaña de los Sueños. The park employs more than 120 people and indirectly provides work for over 2,000.

The place displays Venezuelan heritage through demonstrations of traditional crafts and regional customs from different parts of the country. Visitors can watch how artisans work and experience daily life as it was practiced in those communities.

The park is located about 45 minutes from Mérida city center and offers restaurants serving regional dishes. There are multiple entertainment areas and activities for families to enjoy.

The park's creator, Alexis Montilla, was born in Chachopo, Mérida state, in May 1944, and opened Los Aleros to the public on 28 July 1984. The site employs more than 120 people and indirectly provides work for over 2,000. Guides are often teenagers, and staff dress in 1930s clothing.
