| | Sucre |
The eastern region of Venezuela is one of the preferred tourist destinations, thanks to the quality of its beaches, the interest of its towns and villages, and the friendliness of its people.
You will find there spectacular beaches, such as Playa Colorada and others in the National Park Mochima, or such as Playa Medina in the Paria Peninsula, that can be considered as one of the best in the country.
Sucre's variety is characteristic of its people and its land and sea resources. Its scenery covers some 4,600 sq. miles of contrasting surroundings that vary from Araya's arid coasts to the cloud forests of the eastern range, from sun-parched islands in front of the coast to fertile lands of Campoma, or intricate bayous close to Irapa. Four national parks - Mochima, Peninsula of Paria, Turuépano and a small corner of El Guacharo - protect some of the most valuable ecosystems of Venezuela's eastern region: coral reefs, cloud forest, dry forest and mangroves.
Two peninsulas reflect the contrasts that harmonize in Sucre. Paria stretches out towards the Esat and Araya points to the West. The green mountains of Paria rise to 4,113 feet on El Humo Peak, and have exuberant vegetation and wildlife.; so much so that when Colombus arrived to this coast, belived he had found a terrestrial paradise. Araya seems an uninhabited desert, gray with the shades of its dry vegetation, and rust-colored from the variety of hues of naked earth. On the gulf side of Paria, amid an environment dominated by swamps, Sucre opens its coasts to waters that slip through the northern fingers of the Orinoco's delta.
A spectacular mountain rises out of the extreme southern part of the state. It is the sierra of Turimiquire peak, 7,788 feet high. Air, charged with humidity that rises from the sea, forms dense clouds that unite to discharge their burden over the forested slopes, producing fresh water that is a prime resource for developing the northeastern region . The slopes' tropical forest and the cloud forest of the peaks are rich environs for wildlife and make a mountain chain that continues down to the edge of El Guacharo National Park that Sucre shares with Monagas State.
