Isla de Coche, one of the three islands in the State of Nueva Esparta, Venezuela, is located in the Caribbean, between Isla Margarita and the mainland. Covering 55 km² with a population of around 8,200, the island is tropical, with an average climate of 27 to 38 °C. Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1498, Coche was colonized in the 19th century after an attempt in the 16th century. Currently, its economy depends on tourism, offering ideal conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing to the west. The island maintains close communication with Margarita Island and the state of Sucre, on the Venezuelan mainland. The story of the novel "Robinson's Island" took place in Coche in the 18th century, involving a pioneer, runaway slaves and sea adventures.
