A Caribbean coastal city in Venezuela's Sucre state, Carúpano serves as the gateway to the Paria Peninsula and holds one of Latin America's oldest ports. The city sits where two valleys open onto the coast, within reach of both the sea and nearby mountains, and functions as the main commercial hub for the surrounding region, with fishing and agricultural trade central to its economy.
