Southwest
of Mérida lies the state of Trujillo. Its
capital, the town of Trujillo, was founded in 1557 but was
relocated several times due to hostility between Indians
and colonists.
It was permanently established at its present location in the
early 1570s. Trujillo is a quiet, historic town, spreading
up a mountain valley and surrounded by hills, with breathtaking
view of the Castán river valley. It is not a particularly
touristy town, but is a good place from which to explore the
region. The town has a bus terminal with links to Caracas,
Barinas, Mérida, Boconó and Valera. Hostels in Trujillo |
