I am from Venezuela and very specifically I live in a state that is in front of what was Cubagua. In fact, in Cumaná, the city where I live, there were plans to build a structure that would bring water to Nueva Cadiz when it existed, because water was always a problem. The exodus of its inhabitants was slow, they left little by little, because of the water problem. Although it is believed that the income that Spain received from the pearl fishery was astronomical, they could not get the workers or slaves to stay because the climate was infamous. The ruins of the first Venezuelan and South American city can still be seen today. I have even heard that there are services of walks so that they know the zone. Thank you for telling the story of a part of my country, important for the memory of Venezuela and Latin America. Greetings
