Culture of Venezuela

The culture of Venezuela is a mix of three primary roots: Indigenous, African and Spanish. This process is known as mestizaje, which originated at the beginning of the colonial period with the arrival of Spanish settlers and, later, enslaved African populations, who integrated with the native indigenous peoples. Today, Venezuelan culture is characterized by its music, gastronomy, art and literature, while its people are recognized for their strong sense of companionship and national pride.
