Colonia Tovar: Venezuela's "Little Germany" Looks Like a Village in the Black Forest

Dec 7, 2022 | Where can you find half-timbered houses, German beer, and Black Forest cake in South America? Colonia Tovar. DW's Joel Dullroy visited the Venezuelan tourist attraction, where he felt transported back to the heart of the Black Forest. The town has a population of roughly 20,000 people and was founded by German immigrants around 150 years ago. Not much has changed there since then.
