Los Teques, Capital city in Miranda State, Venezuela
Los Teques stands at 1,169 meters above sea level, positioned 25 kilometers southwest of Caracas along the San Pedro River in north-central Venezuela.
The region held gold mines during Spanish conquest times and was home to indigenous leader Guaicaipuro, who fought against conquistadors until his death in 1568.
Settlers from the Canary Islands contributed to the population growth of Los Teques in the late 18th century, shaping the local traditions and customs.
The Los Teques Metro system connects with the Caracas Metro network through five stations, operating daily from early morning until late evening.
The city transformed from an agricultural center focused on coffee production to an industrial hub due to its access to raw materials through Puerto Cabello.
