昨天,和一群中國公司的朋友們,沿著風景線一路南下玩。沿途有熱帶樹林,白色沙灘,星羅棋布的小島點綴著平靜的港灣。到了Cumaná後,找到了一家不錯的中國餐館,小排骨,燒鴨等競能和Bay Area的相當。

去Castillo de San Antonio de la Eminencia 還得坐船15分鍾,再乘local taxi 10 分鍾,才能見到南美最早的fortress 殘牆。

Cumaná  is the capital of Venezuela's Sucre State. It is located 402 km east of Caracas. It was one of the first settlements founded by Europeans on the South American mainland[1], in 1515 by Franciscan monks, but due to successful attacks by the indigenous people, it had to be refounded several times. For example, in 1521 by a group of Spaniards under the command of Gonzalo de Ocampo re-established it, and again in 1569 Diego Hernández de Serpa had to rebuild it. After Amerindian attacks became less of a threat, the city was on several occasions destroyed by earthquakes. Thus the oldest part of the city is late 17th and 18th century; almost none of the 16th century architecture survived.

Sucre is something more than beaches when having cities like Cumaná, capital of the state. Founded by the Spaniards in 1521, Cumaná takes pride in being the oldest town on South America's mainland. Among the interesting tourist sites of this city there are:
 
Castillo de San Antonio de la Eminencia: this fortress is the symbol of the city, it was built in 1659 and was raised on a hill from which you can have a beautiful panoramic view of Cumaná and the surrounding.

在要塞裏,發現了一堆小海螺,幾乎把他們一鍋端了回家。



這是早期撿到的各種shells











聽說,在另一個地方能撿到樹化石。下次,探完險後再貼。
