| Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America - Chapter 11. (11298 words) |
 | Although the sea is extremely rough from Cape Codera to La Guayra, and although the boats have an enormous triangular sail, somewhat dangerous in those gusts which issue from the mountain-passes, no instance has occurred during thirty years, of one of these boats being lost in the passage from Cumana to the coast of Caracas. |
| The climate of La Guayra is justly considered to be hotter than that of Cumana, Porto Cabello, and Coro, because the sea-breeze is less felt, and the air is heated by the radiant caloric which the perpendicular rocks emit from the time the sun sets. |
| La Guayra appeared to me in general to be tolerably clean, with the exception of the quarter of the slaughter-houses. |
