Las Cumaraguas

The salt ponds spread across flat terrain, creating a network of shallow basins where seawater evaporates under the sun throughout the year.

These salt ponds have operated continuously since their establishment, contributing to Venezuela's salt production and local economic development through generations.

Local families maintain traditional salt harvesting methods at Las Cumaraguas, passing down specific techniques for extracting and processing salt from generation to generation.

Visitors can reach Las Cumaraguas by taking the road between El Vínculo and Las Cumaraguas, with additional access routes available from Adícora, 21 kilometers away.

The waters of Las Cumaraguas turn red due to tannins, creating a foam with a granular texture and pink coloration during sunset hours.
