San José de Guanipa (Spanish pronunciation: [saŋ xoˈse ðe ɣwaˈnipa]), also known as El Tigrito, is a city in the state of Anzoátegui, Venezuela. It is the capital of Guanipa Municipality. Officially founded in 1910, it was previously a settlement of the Kali'na people.[1] El Tigrito lies between the larger town El Tigre and the oil camp of San Tomé.
Like the Guanipa River, the city is named for the Kali'na cacique Guanipa.
