Unare: It is the largest salt lake in Venezuela and one of the most important in all of Latin America.
It is located between the municipalities of San Juan de Capistrano, Bruzual and Peñalver, in the western part of the state and extends over an area of 4000 hectares.
It receives the waters of the River of the same name and of the Caribbean.
It is a refuge for hundreds of birds and marine species such as the Lebranche and the camacuto shrimp.

Píritu: Sister of Unare, its correct name is laguna de Píritu and it is located in the city of Puerto Píritu.
It has a great variety of mangrove vegetation and is one of the most important bird reserves (next to Unare) in the country.
Given the growth of the population, it is at risk of contamination.

El Paraíso: Also known as Laguna del Magüey.
It is the only lagoon left within the Greater Barcelona conurbation and is part of the El Morro tourist complex.
In its facilities, there was a company dedicated to the extraction of salt (Salinas El Paraíso).
It is currently contaminated as it serves as a drainage system for some neighbourhoods in Puerto La Cruz.
