English version
I had the opportunity to explore the boat area in Puerto Sucre, at the landing dock for the popular “Tapaitos,” which carry passengers and cargo from Cumana to Manicuare and back. This area is also used by other vessels, mostly fishing boats. There I saw some very picturesque ones, including one with a hull painted white, red, and blue, and an orange canvas awning. This boat is called “Cubalili,” a name written in black cursive letters.
Another passenger boat was sailing along the pier; the name “Emaus” is painted on its rear side. You can also read “Puerto Sucre,” indicating that it belongs to this port. Its colors are white, blue, yellow, and red. It also features a flat roof supported by metal posts that hold up a protective canvas cover.
This specific spot is known as Boca of River because the Manzanares River flows into the sea here; as a result, the water is murky and unsuitable for swimming. In addition to the river’s usual pollution, waste from the fishing industry and both oil and fuel from the boats contribute to the dark hue of the water, which is accentuated on this occasion by a clear sky.
If we look more closely, the outline of the opposite shore comes into view, where hills with sparse vegetation can be seen. I continued my walk along the edge of the pier; to the right, I noticed a structure—a large wall with makeshift frameworks made of sheet metal and wood. At this hour, some passengers were waiting for one of the Tapaitos to travel to Manicuare, but at the other pier—the Conferry pier—the vessel known as La Palita was visible; it also heads to Araya and offers greater comfort to passengers, although it travels more slowly.

Tuve la oportunidad de explorar la zona de los botes en Puerto Sucre, en el muelle de desembarco de los populares Tapaitos que transportan pasajeros y carga desde Cumaná a Manicuare.y viceversa. Este espacio también es utilizado por otras embarcaciones, la mayoría pesqueras. Acá observé algunas bien pintorescas, una con un casco pintado en blanco, rojo y azul, con un toldo de lona color naranja. Este bote lleva por nombre "Cubalili", el cual está escrito en letras cursivas negras.
Otra embarcación de pasajeros estaba navegando en el muelle, lleva pintado el nombre "Emaús" en la parte lateral trasera. También se puede leer "Puerto Sucre", indicando que pertenece a este espacio. Sus colores son blanco, azul, amarillo y rojo. Se distingue, además, un techo plano sostenido por parales metálicos que soportan una lona protectora.
Este lugar en específico se conoce como Boca del Río ya que el Manzanares desemboca en el mar, por ello se nota un caudal turbio y no apto para bañarse. Además de la contaminación habitual del río, los desechos de las pesqueras y tanto el aceite como el combustible de los botes contribuyen a acentuar el tono oscuro de las aguas que se combina en esta ocasión con un cielo despejado.
Si miramos más a fondo, se dibuja la línea de la otra costa, allí se aprecian cerros con poca vegetación. Continúe mi recorrido por la orilla del muelle, a la derecha se observa una construcción, un gran muro que tiene estructuras improvisadas de láminas y madera. A esta hora algunos pasajeros se encontraban a la espera de alguno de los Tapaitos para viajar hacia Manicuare, pero en el otro muelle, el de Conferry, se apreciaba el navío conocido como La Palita, que también va rumbo a Araya y ofrece mayor comodidad a los pasajeros, aunque es más lento en su desplazamiento.
