Municipio Acosta

Municipio Acosta is an administrative division in northeastern Venezuela made up of two parishes, San Antonio and San Francisco. Mountains and rivers run through the territory, shaping the landscape and connecting different settlements.

San Antonio de Capayacuar was founded in 1713 when a Capuchin missionary established a settlement with support from indigenous people. This early founding shaped the area's development and character.

The area has deep farming roots, and you see fields of coffee, citrus, and corn throughout the valleys. Local growers shape daily life and the landscape with their work.

Main roads link the territory to surrounding regions and make travel between settlements possible. The hilly terrain and river crossings affect how you move around the area.

The Doors of Miraflores are two mountain formations naturally split by the Guarapiche River, creating a remarkable natural gateway. Water erosion carved this passage over centuries.
