A 2012 report notes a few cocoa growers in the area.[2] There is a local hospital.[3] A report of unclear date reported 16,000 inhabitants. El Piñal is 35 kilometers from the state capital of San Cristobal. Two rivers meet in the area.[4] Investments in a yuca processing plant and cattle for food and milk have been undertaken in El Piñal.[5]
