The area was originally home to indigenous peoples before Spanish conquistadors arrived and settled the region in the 16th century. In the early 20th century, Los Teques was declared the capital of Miranda State.
The region takes its name from an indigenous leader who lived here long before Spanish arrival. This historical name serves as a reminder of the original inhabitants who called this land home for generations.
The metro line connects Los Teques directly to Caracas, making travel to the capital straightforward and convenient. The area is easily accessible if you arrive from the city or want to explore the surrounding region.
Los Teques was not always the administrative capital of the region but was selected for this role during modern times. This shift reflects how the town has grown and changed over the years.
