Cubiro - Sanare

Cubiro Entrance

This charming town is located in the mountains at the South of Barquisimeto. Its fresh cool climate, beautiful constructions and easy access make the spot highly attractive to the "barquisimetanos" (people from barquisimeto) who flood in during weekends

The town church shelters the mortal remains of Diego de Lozada, the illustrious founder of Caracas, Cubiro and some other towns. Here he died and was buried with the armour he wore in his lifetime.
