The city of Maracay, capital of the Aragua region has several interesting spots to visit. One of them is a former house of the Bolivar family. Here they produced sugarcane among other products.
More into our days, the city is alive. I could see some of the riots and protests that happen very often in the city and its sourroundings.
Finally, and thanks to my cousin, I could take a look (from the outside, thanks God) to one of the famous Venezuelian prisons. The marks of the last riot in the prison can be easily seen from the outside (bullet holes all over the walls). Moreover, I saw some prisioners make phone calls from the terrace on the roof.
