Colonia Tovar is one of the 18 municipalities in the state of Aragua. It is located in a majestic valley at 2,200 metres above sea level, which gives it a privileged climate with an annual average of 16º centigrade. It is located 36 kilometres from the city of La Victoria and approximately 60 kilometres from Caracas.
The town was founded in the mid 1800's by the Italian cartographer Agustin Codazzi, with a group of more than 370 German settlers from the Bavarian town of Baden. It stands out for its beautiful buildings with a style typical of rural Germany, as well as for its extensive farming areas with high productivity and profitability, making the municipality of Tovar the town with the highest per capita income in the country.
