Curiepe is one of the towns belonging to the Brión Municipality and capital of the parish which has the same name, specifically in the Barlovento sector of the Miranda State. Located just 8 kilometers from the town of Higuerote, capital of the Municipality, on the bank of the homonymous river. Known for the ringing of its drums and the magic that characterizes it, it is an extraordinary destination that you cannot miss.
This magnificent town is 12 meters above sea level. Its name derives from the indigenous term that means: Where they killed the acure. Although other experts assure that it is originally from the indigenous word that means: Corn plant.
This place was founded in 1723 by a group of free black and maroon slaves; It should be noted that Barlovento was and is one of the most important sites of the slave population of African origin. As of the year 1732, it is known as a parish under the name of Nuestra Señora de Altagracia and San José de Curiepe. During the Venezuelan independence period, in 1812, it became one of the focuses of an immense and strong pronouncement of the black slaves, who for a long time were under the domination of the whites and incited by the royalists, they walked from that region towards the Caracas capital attacking and executing all the patriots who crossed his path.
It is very safe and my children are distracted by playing.
Curiepe on the drums of San Juan is magical! Your people are a note! It is a very beautiful town!
