Who were the pre-Columbian inhabitants of Venezuela?

The pre-Columbian inhabitants of Venezuela included various indigenous groups, such as the Caribs, Arawaks, and Timoto-Cuicas. These societies lived in diverse environments, from coastal regions to the Andes mountains, and engaged in agriculture, fishing, and trade. They developed rich cultures with distinct languages, traditions, and social structures long before the arrival of European explorers in the late 15th century.
