Chimire, Venezuela, often referred to as the Chimire cliffs, (Spanish: Farallones de Chimire) is a semi-mountainous cliff landscape in Mesa de Guanipa,[1] Anzoategui, Venezuela, located a few kilometres north of the city of El Tigre (The Tiger), in the municipality of Freites. Chimire is located about 10 miles (16 km) north of San Tomé on the road to Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela.[2] The cliffs are a tourist destination.
The area has an abundance of natural resources and nutrient-rich soil. A large oil field, the Chimire Field, was discovered there in 1948. The area has good transport links and includes Cerro Negro de Kariñas, the location of the indigenous people in the Anzoategui State.[3] An estimated 2,000 people live in the region. Both vegetation and wildlife are abundant. Cities, towns and places near Chimire include San Tomé, San José de Guanipa (El Tigrito), and El Tigre to the south and Anaco to the north.
