The Hungarian-Venezuelan community is primarily composed of immigrants who left Hungary after World War II and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Although settled as immigrants in the second half of the 20th century, records of previous centuries prove there were Hungarians who visited Venezuela motivated by exploratory interests. Such is the case of the noble Hungarian expeditionary Pál Rosti, who traveled to the country in 1857 and photographed the region of San Juan de los Morros.
