Fodor's Expert Review Santuario de la Virgen del Valle

Porlamar and Pampatar Religious Building/Site/Shrine

The stained-glass windows of the Santuario de la Virgen del Valle, a twin-towered chapel on the main plaza, are worth a visit. A small museum (open most afternoons) contains the thousands of tokens, jewelry, and holy medals left by supplicants. Every September 8th, thousands congregate in front of the chapel for the Festividad de la Virgen del Valle.
