Puerto Cabello, Caribbean port city in Carabobo, Venezuela.
The deep-water harbor of Puerto Cabello extends along the Caribbean Sea, featuring extensive docking facilities and commercial infrastructure for maritime operations.
The Spanish colonial authorities established control of Puerto Cabello in 1730 through the Real Compañía Guipuzcoana, constructing warehouses and fortifications to protect trade routes.
The San Felipe Castle and Solano Fortress stand as monuments to Venezuela's colonial period, attracting visitors interested in military architecture.
The city connects to Valencia through a major highway system, serving as the primary maritime gateway for agricultural and commercial products from the Valencia Basin.
The harbor's waters maintain such stillness that Spanish sailors claimed a single hair could secure a ship to the dock, giving the port its name.
