Cabimas
Cabimas, Zulia, Venezuela
Description
Cabimas holds an indelible place in Venezuela's history: it was here, on the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo, that the blowout of the Los Barrosos 2 well in 1922 marked the birth of the country's oil era. That legacy shaped the tough, welcoming, and proud character of its people, the "cabimenses," and turned Cabimas into one of the great economic hubs of Zulia state. Beyond oil, the city is a vital connection point on the Eastern Coast of the Lake, where labor, the gaita musical culture, and the enterprising spirit that defines it all come together.
The Cabimas municipality spans about 604 km² and recorded around 256,993 inhabitants, with census figures placing the municipal whole above 350,000 people (Wikipedia, "Municipio Cabimas," accessed 2026). Its economy remains tied to the oil industry—with the port of La Salina as one of the main crude-loading docks on the Lake—and is complemented by increasingly dynamic trade and services.
