Río Carribe is an important city in the state of Zulia, Venezuela, located in the northwestern part of the country on the southeastern shore of Lake Maracaibo. The city takes its name from the Carribe River, which flows through the area. As the economic center of the region, its economy is based on the petroleum industry, agriculture and animal husbandry. The surrounding area is rich in crops such as sugar cane and corn, and has a cattle breeding industry, forming a development model that combines industry and agriculture.
The city is well connected by road to the state capital, Maracaibo, and other towns.
