Cumaná, Administrative center in Piar Municipality, Venezuela
Upata occupies a longitudinal valley spanning 20 kilometers in length and 6 kilometers in width between the Orinoco and Cuyuni river basins.
Founded on July 7, 1762, by Fray Antonio de Cervera, the settlement was initially named Village Yocoima of Saint Anthony of Padua.
The name Upata originates from the Kamaracoto indigenous language, translating to Rose of the Mountain, referring to a tribal chief's daughter.
