54 kilometers from the capital of the state of Aragua, Maracay, along a winding road, is this beautiful cove, with a wide beach with clear waters and fine, white sand. During the colony, there were huge cocoa plantations nearby and when Spanish merchants speculated downwards with prices, the most powerful Venezuelan landowners sold their fruit to Dutch smugglers, who used this and other bays of Aragüe to load.
