How Punta Cardón Grew
Punta Cardón was once a small fishing community. It was located right on the Gulf of Coro. This area is on the northwest coast of Venezuela.
In the mid-1940s, things started to change. The town became surrounded by a large oil-refining complex. This complex processes crude oil. Today, the state oil company, PDVSA, runs this important facility.
