Perla del Sur (Pearl of the South) was founded April 22, 1819 next to Jagua Bay, one of the finest bays in the world due to its size (88 square kilometres), depth and safety. It has been developed as a high-level cultural and tourist center, with an emphasis on nautical activities due to its privileged location in the southern region of the Caribbean.
