It was founded by the Spanish as the City of Kings in 1535 and is the cradle of the civilisation, which, with more than 5,000 years of age, is the oldest civilisa- tion of the American continent.

Currently, our capital concentrates nume- rous hotels, restaurants, malls, art galleries, cafes, casinos, night shows, bars and clubs, making it a city that stands out for its mo- dernity.

Following, you will nd information about the meeting that we are pleased to hold in our city, as well as some facts and useful advice.
