Táriba, in Venezuela's Táchira state, is a Catholic pilgrimage city whose central draw is the Basílica, Museum, and Boulevard of the Virgen de la Consolación — a complex that draws worshippers from across the country and hosts the annual Ferias de la Consolación each August. Founded in 1602 and now part of the greater San Cristóbal metropolitan area, the city is also known locally as La Perla del Torbes and for its steeply inclined streets and buildings, some reaching gradients of around 20 degrees.
