Borburata

Also known as Borburata (Venezuela)

Borburata is a small coastal town in Carabobo state, Venezuela, located a few kilometers from the Caribbean Sea. It was long a destination of indigenous peoples, who would gather salt at the sea. It was colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century, but suffered so many raids that it was mostly abandoned. Residents moved inland. Today, it has facilities associated with the Venezuela oil and gas industry.
