Columbus records that the province around Monte Caribata is called Caribata

… The whole circuit of that island has marvelous capes and harbors, as he judged from the sea. Before the island, on the west side, there is a cape which runs far into the sea, high and low, and for that he named it Cabo alto y bajo. From the cape of Torres east, a quarter toward the southeast, there are 60 miles to a mountain higher than another, which runs into the sea, and from afar it looks like an island by itself because of a saddle it has on the land side; he named it Monte Caribata, because that province was called Caribata. It is very beautiful and full of green and bright trees, without snow and without mist, and the weather there was then, as to the airs and mildness, as in March in Castile, and as to the trees and grasses as in May: the nights, so he says, were of fourteen hours.
