Borburata

Borburata is a small coastal town in Carabobo state, Venezuela, located a few kilometers from the Caribbean Sea.

Historically, the Jirajara Indians traveled to Valencia Lake and through the mountains to reach the sea in this area to collect dried salt.

The town of Borburata was eventually abandoned for a long period, and settlers moved to Valencia and Puerto Cabello.

Today Borburata is best known for the PDVSA tank farm, part of the profitable oil and gas industry.

The San Esteban National Park located minutes outside the town contains a great variety of habitats, such as beaches, mangroves, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests, with corresponding diversity of wildlife and plants.
