The Cocinetas Basin (Spanish: Cuenca Cocinetas) is a small sedimentary basin of approximately 1,000 square kilometres (390 sq mi) in northeasternmost Colombia. The onshore pull-apart basin is located in the department of La Guajira at the border with Zulia, Venezuela. The basin is bound by three sets of hills; the Serranía de Jarara, Serranía Macuira and Serranía Cocinas, with the eastern boundary formed by the Gulf of Venezuela, part of the Caribbean Sea.
