Japanese: パリア半島 - パリアはんとう(英語表記)Península de Paria
Paria Peninsula - Paria Peninsula (English spelling)
A peninsula in the state of Sucre in northeastern Venezuela. It extends eastward, facing the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Gulf of Paria to the south. Topographically, it corresponds to the part of the branch of the Mérida mountain range, which constitutes the northern end of the Andes mountain range, that extends eastward in northern Venezuela and protrudes toward Trinidad, and continues to the northern mountain range of Trinidad through the Dragon's Mouth Strait. In 1498, Columbus first reached South America during his third voyage, and this is where he landed. [Yanagimachi Harumi]

ベネズエラ北東部,スクレ州にある半島。東に延びて北はカリブ海,南はパリア湾に臨む。地形学的にはアンデス山系北端部を構成するメリダ山脈の分枝がベネズエラ北部で東に延び,トリニダード島に向かって突出した部分に相当し,ドラゴンズ・マウス海峡を経てトリニダード島の北部山地に続く。1498年コロンブスは第3次航海の途上初めて南アメリカ大陸に到達したが,そのとき上陸したのがこの地である。【柳町 晴美】
