Travel Guide Macuro

At 40 km from Güiria, the village is only accessible by sea. It was also by the sea that Columbus succeeded and foula, say, the first time the soil of mainland America. He was greeted by the Indians of this «land of Grace», hands full of gold and beads, which would accelerate colonization. A wooden plate marks the ground foulé by Almirante Colón. From this glorious past, there is still little, a large asphalt avenue, a beach without any further, the library replaces Banco Venezuela and the village lives mainly plaster and fishing, of course. About 3 000 souls inhabit it.
