Isla picúa is the popular form of the inhabitants of the coast of the Sucre state in Venezuela to refer to the largest island in the archipelago, or set of islands and islets, which is part of the Mochima national park.

The Picudas Islands is the general name of the archipelago. In addition to the Pícúa Island, whose correct name is Isla Picuda Grande, the main islands, Picuda Chica, Quirica, Cachicamo, Isla de Plata, Isla de Monos, and Tiguitigue Island make up the archipelago.

The imposing Picúa Island occupies the center of the Mochima National Park and is a reference point for the fishing activity of the towns settled on the coasts.

Santa Fe, Playa Colorada, Los Alto de Santa Fe, are the most renowned for the beauty of their landscapes and for the tourist activity that unfolds in them.

The mountain range that contains the waters of Ensenada del Tigrillo is formed as a containment dam that protects the areas of waves and tides, giving the waters of the area a permanent state of serenity

My observation point of Picúa Island allows me to enjoy the breadth of the sea, the silence of the surroundings, only disturbed by the transit of the ships that carry and bring tourists to visit the countless beaches in the area.

Staying after the sun sets provides a state of gratitude and awe at mother nature.

Dawn on the beaches, looking at Isla Picúa, allows you to see, in the clear waters, the process of life of the species of the sea. With relative ease you can enjoy the coral bottoms, with their fantastic blooms. It is a matter of putting on a mask and sinking a little in the sea, it is not necessary to be an expert diver.

Eventually we can see squid, octopus, lobsters, it is only necessary to peek into the water.

You can permanently, in the coves, swim among shoals of fish and interact with the inhabitants of the sea, checking their dens.

In a boat a young man seems to levitate, innocent of the effect of the morning light on the transparent waters. The boy seems to dream of a world of greater possibilities.

He seems not to notice the immense beauty of which he lives surrounded.

Contrary to the generosity of the sea, social institutions have abandoned the wonderful inhabitants of this space to a situation of survival ...

I leave my readers on this balcony from where you can be interested in knowing the magnitude of the beauty of a nature that waits for human intelligence to lavish its immeasurable riches.

There you may also be interested in knowing the human stories of the communities that make life looking at Isla Picúa, still imbued with a feeling of conformity with what life offers them, as if it were to sacrifice the truly human for maintaining the privilege of living in That paradise
