Murachí was the first caudillo of the Sierras Nevadas
Tibisay, his beloved, was slender as the flexible stalk of corn
She is brunette in color, with a large and melancholic eye and abundant hair
For her, they were the best canvases of Mirripuy, the finest gold in
Aricagua and the plumage of the rarest mountain bird
Murachí was a Mocotíes cacique of the Sierra Merideña. The development of his town
Culturally it was really important, because they had developed farming techniques
Weaving, fabric manufacturing... His techniques already in 1500 were highly developed and
Productive. They practiced mining, controlled planting, cotton cultivation and
Even the commercialization with neighboring tribes of many products
Despite that, knowledge of him was not only based on production but also
He mastered war techniques to defend his estates from invaders
Already in 1559 the Spanish had tried several times to found a city on their
Predios without having achieved it, but in that year Juan Maldonado managed to found Mérida
The confrontations between Cacique Murachí and Maldonado were constant and little by little
Shortly the men of Cacique Murachí were decimated
Cacique Murachí had as his wife the Indian Princess Tibisay and in view of the
Constant attacks, he was afraid that his wife would be taken and enslaved
So he sent her along with several of her most faithful warriors into her
Lands so that the princess was hidden and she could not be harmed by the invader
He believed in the Sun, which was called Ches in his language
He dies in 1560 defending his land!

The merchants and especially the producers to have prosperity and see their
Business grow for them and those around them. He is a lover of economic progress
