What is History of the Paraguaná Peninsula about?
The Paraguaná Peninsula, once an island, was discovered by Alonso de Ojeda in 1499 and initially inhabited by the peaceful Caquetíos tribe. Following Spanish colonization, the area faced exploitation and slavery, leading to significant intervention by figures like Friar Bartolomé de Las Casas. The region played a strategic role during the struggle for independence, with Josefa Camejo emerging as a key leader, and today it serves as a cultural tourist attraction reflecting its rich history.
