More on Puerto La Cruz

The history of Puerto La Cruz goes back to the 18th century. The Spanish have arrived here earlier, but nothing of significance was established in the area. In 1780, the natives established the Christian Mission of Pozuelos here. The city was only built in the 19th century. Originally known as Puerto de la Santa Cruz, it was later shortened to simply Puerto la Cruz.

Modern tourists use Puerto La Cruz as the springboard for visiting the nearby beaches, off-shore islands and national parks.
