Sucre, Administrative state in northeastern Venezuela
Sucre extends along the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Paria, featuring 11,800 square kilometers of mountains, coastal plains, and agricultural territories.
The state capital Cumaná, established in 1521 by Gonzalo de Ocampo, stands as one of the earliest European settlements on the South American mainland.
The regional cuisine incorporates fresh seafood from the Caribbean waters, with local specialties like calalú de Paria and gofio reflecting centuries of culinary traditions.
The state produces half of Venezuela's total fish catch, including mackerel, mullet, grouper, tuna, sardines, shrimp, and substantial quantities of avocados.
Lake Guanoco contains natural asphalt deposits while the Araya Peninsula yields salt, contributing to the state's mineral resources alongside gypsum near Macuro.
