If you love ice cream and the exotic, don’t miss in Merida state in Venezuela the Coromoto Ice-cream shop, one of the most famous not only in this country but also of the world for having the Guinness record for being the ice-cream shop with the mots amount flavors.

Mérida is located in the western part of Venezuela and is characterized for having a delicious cold weather, in addition to providing its visitors the most beautiful scenery due to its stunning vegetation and great mountains that surround it. This is one of the great tourist destinations that Venezuela has, thanks to the low cost of their food and the quiet atmosphere to breathe in.

There are many places to visit in this state; however, one you shouldn’t overlook is the Coromoto Ice-cream shop, this is located in the heart of the city on three-quarter avenue, just around the “El Llano” square.

This ice-cream shop was founded in 1981 by the Portuguese Manuel Da Silva Oliveira or as he was called affectionately by the inhabitants of the city as “Don Manolo“. He began with traditional flavors such as coconut, chocolate and vanilla. Then, he saw a program on television where they made ice cream with avocado, which tried to do and after much effort and raw materials wasted, he managed to do it. When he put it on for sale it was an instant success that led him to create many more flavors.

In its desire to offer unique ice-cream in his shop, he went on to create more than a thousand flavors, reaching the record “Guinness” in 1991 as the ice-cream shop with more flavors in the world; title that was confirmed in 1996 and continues to this day.

Among its flavors they include: hamburger, onion, garlic, shrimp; but certainly the flavors that capture the attention of the visitors are called “Miss Venezuela“, an ice cream flavored scented with carnations and roses; and “Viagra“, which despite having the name of the famous blue pill, is not among its ingredients, although some Viagra ice-cream lovers say that it has the same effect as the pill.

Upon receiving thousands of tourists annually, it is common to observe a long line to taste the ice cream; however, the service is pretty quick. We recommend that before ordering all the flavors, you look carefully and choose in advance the tasting of the ice cream since the time in the row and the approach to the counter won’t be sufficient to decide.

Now, the ice-cream shop holds 857 ice cream flavors where you can choose either from the classic chocolate to a particular flavor with pasta and parmesan cheese; we assure you that you will not regret visiting this small corner in Mérida – Venezuela.
