Carúpano, Caribbean coastal city in Sucre state, Venezuela

Carúpano extends across two valleys near the Caribbean Sea, functioning as the primary commercial center of eastern Venezuela's Sucre state at 120 kilometers from Cumaná.

The city marks the location where Christopher Columbus first arrived on the American continent, and in 1814 Simon Bolivar declared the end of slavery.

The city features multiple religious structures, including the Santa Rosa de Lima Cathedral and Santa Catalina de Siena Church, representing different architectural periods.

Local transportation within Carúpano operates through a network of buses and taxis, connecting the main commercial areas with residential neighborhoods.

The House of Cable in Carúpano housed the first submarine telegraph connection between Europe and America during the 19th century.
