Geography


Patos Island is located about 540 kilometres (340 mi) northeast of Caracas in the Golfo de Paria (Gulf of Paria). The coordinates are 10°38′18″N 61°51′50″W. It lies in the Boca Grande strait of the Bocas del Dragón (Dragon's Mouth), approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) off the Paria Peninsula of mainland Venezuela and about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west-south-west of Chacachacare, which is part of Trinidad and Tobago.

The uninhabited island has an area of only 0.65 square kilometres (0.25 sq mi)[1] with a length of 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) and 0.6 kilometres (0.37 mi) wide with the highest point reaching about 100 metres (330 ft).[2][3][4]


History


Patos Island was part of the former British colony Trinidad and Tobago.[5]

On 26 February 1942 the island became part of Venezuela in exchange for Soldado Rock to Trinidad and Tobago[6] and was put under the administration of the Ministerio del Interior y de Justicia (Ministry of Interior and Justice)[1] as part of the Dependencias Federales.
