In the Wider Tucupita Destination

At the level of the wider Tucupita destination, the Municipio Tucupita, Iglesia San José is located between Calle Manamo and Avenida Arismendi, opposite Paseo Malecón Manamo. It was founded in 1919; its name comes from the first image brought to the region by Portuguese people. These details place the church explicitly within the wider regional context.

Casa del Artista Plástico is also intended for events and exhibitions of painting, handicrafts and photography in the wider Tucupita destination. Plaza Los Próceres de Oriente is located on Paseo Manamo. Rafael Figuera Malavé founded it in 1973; it features busts of Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi, Manuel Piar, Simón Bolívar and Santiago Mariño.
