Valencia
Venezuela's self-styled "Industrial Capital," Valencia is the country's third-largest city and the economic engine of Carabobo State, home to major national and multinational companies across automotive, textile, food, and energy sectors. The city served as Venezuela's national capital on three occasions between 1812 and 1830, and sits within easy reach of both mountains and the coast.
