Puerto Cabello

Islands · Beaches · National Parks

Don't be fooled by Puerto Cabello's primary function as Venezuela's busiest port and key role in the country's oil industry--tropical beaches, colonial neighborhoods, and a hilltop stone fort make the city well worth a visit. The colonizing Spaniards claimed the sea was so calm here that you could moor a ship using a single hair--thus, the city's Spanish name. Away from the water, many tourists wander cobblestone streets and climb the steps of the fort for commanding views onto the Caribbean Sea. You can always round out your Puerto Cabello itinerary with visits to local beaches.
