Maracay, Industrial metropolis in Aragua State, Venezuela
Maracay stretches across the central highlands at 713 meters above sea level, located 110 kilometers southwest of the national capital Caracas.
The settlement, named after an Araguas Indian chief, developed from a small village in 1701 into a major city through the cultivation of indigo in the 1740s.
The city contains an exact replica of the Sevilla bullring, constructed during Juan Vicente Gomez's administration between 1908 and 1935.
The central location on the Pan-American Highway provides efficient transportation connections to other Venezuelan regions through roads and two major airports.
The Henri Pittier National Park borders the city's northern edge, creating a natural barrier between the urban area and the Caribbean coast.
