Canaima, Gran Sabana and Angel Falls, Orinoko Delta, Los Roques, Morrocoy, Amazonas, Los Llanos and Merida constitute exceptional destinations for tourism and nature lovers. Margarita Island and Puerto La Cruz offers the options of sea and beaches for relaxation and fun along with restaurants, discotheques, shops and excursions.

Robison Rd. Texarkana, TX 75505-5518 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the early sixteenth century, the area that today comprises eastern Venezuela and its offshore islands enriched Spain with pearls, supplied Spanish colonists with Indian slaves, and generated high hopes of finding interior civilisations rich in gold. However, the prosperity of Spanish colonies in this region (called the Pearl Coast) proved tragically short-lived, lasting less than two decades. Using Garrett Hardin’s concept of the ‘tragedy of the commons’, this article examines Spanish overexploitation of both the oyster beds around the island of Cubagua and the native peoples along the mainland by competing groups of Spaniards. Building upon the works of historians such as Pablo Ojer and Enrique Otte, and utilising archival research and Otte’s seldom-used compilations of primary documents, this article analyses the dramatic but little-known history of the Pearl Coast, where damage to the environment went hand in hand with the enslavement and decimation of native populations.
