Christopher Columbus landed on the South American coast on his third voyage in 1498, in the area of Venezuela near the island of Trinidad. Venezuela was first colonized by the Spanish in 1522. The indigenous tribes may have inhabited the area for over 15,000 years prior to that time, transitioning from Stone Age civilization around 2000 BC.
