Carora, Colonial city in Lara state, Venezuela.
Carora stands at 419 meters above sea level on the Morere River, connecting major Venezuelan cities through a network of highways.
Juan de Trejo established the settlement in 1569, but indigenous attacks led to its abandonment until Juan de Salmanca rebuilt it in 1572.
The Festival of San Juan Bautista fills the streets with traditional Venezuelan music, dance performances, and regional food specialties.
The regional airport facilitates connections while the National Experimental Polytechnic University and National Open University provide educational opportunities.
The city produced the Tipo Carora cattle breed, which adapted to the local climate and became vital for dairy production.
