Güiria
Güiria was the place where the military campaign for South American independence set out to Upper Peru and also a starting point of the 1901 Venezuelan Civil War (Revolución Libertadora).Güiria experiences a tropical savanna climate (Köppen: Aw),[1] characterized by consistently hot temperatures and distinct wet and dry seasons.It is planned to be connected in later stages to the nationwide gas distribution system to supply the rest of the country and for export.Güiria has some typical dishes not found in usual Venezuelan cuisine, such as kalalu(callaloo), sauz (souse), pelau and domplina.On 11 March 2012, Güiria was the landing point of the Atlantic Ocean crossing by Turkish American adventurer Erden Eruç in his Guinness world record setting solo human-powered circumnavigation of the earth, after rowing from Lüderitz, Namibia in about five months.
