Puerto Píritu
Puerto Píritu, Anzoátegui, Venezuela
Description
Puerto Píritu is a charming coastal city in western Anzoátegui state, capital of the Fernando de Peñalver municipality, with origins dating back to 1597, when it was born as El Manglar on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. From that colonial past it preserves historic buildings in its town center and an identity marked by fishing, beaches, and tourism. Framed between two of the state's largest lagoons—the Puerto Píritu and the Unare lagoons—this city is a natural connection point between Barcelona, the coastal towns of Anzoátegui, and travelers seeking the charm of Venezuela's eastern shore.
Puerto Píritu has a population of about 71,271 inhabitants which, combined with those of Píritu, Pueblo Viejo, and El Tejar, reaches around 105,000 people across the urban area (Wikipedia, "Puerto Píritu," accessed 2026). Located 46 kilometers from Barcelona, the state capital, its economy rests on beach tourism, fishing, trade, and services, typical of a town devoted to the sea and to coastal life in the country's east.
