Mochima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Mochima) is located in the States of Anzoátegui and Sucre, on the northeastern coast of Venezuela. It covers 949,35 km² (94,935 hectares) and is made up of an exclusively marine area in its western sector, a coastal marine area that includes the Gulf of Santa Fe and Mochima Bay, and a mountainous area that covers the Turimiquire Dam watershed. The park was created on December 19, 1973 to protect the montane forests of the Turimiquire Range and the country's eastern Caribbean Sea marine landscapes.
