El triste final del Ferrocarril Caracas-La Guaira │Arquitectura Venezuela

Between the mountains that separate Caracas from the city of La Guaira, one of the most challenging and revolutionary engineering feats of its time was built: the Caracas-La Guaira Railway. A railroad that connected the capital with the port, passing through tunnels, viaducts, and spectacular landscapes. But how did this ambitious project become a reality? What role did it play in the country's development? And why did it eventually disappear, leaving behind only ruins and memories? In this video, we tell you the full story: from its construction at the end of the 19th century, its impact on the economy and urban life, to its final abandonment and the debate over its possible restoration.
