Spain was the European country that colonized Venezuela.
Well from what I know I believe it was Spain who originally colonized both Argentina and Venezuela.

The Portuguese colonized Brazil in the 1500's.

Panama was colonized during the 1500's. The country of Panama was colonized by the Spanish, and the first European to set foot on the isthmus of Panama was Rodrigo de Bastidas.

Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay were colonized by the Spanish. Uruguay was also colonized by the Portuguese (which then followed Brazilian rule), and this is who the country gained independence from.

Christopher Columbus landed on the South American coast on his third voyage in 1498, in the area of Venezuela near the island of Trinidad. Venezuela was first colonized by the Spanish in 1522. The indigenous tribes may have inhabited the area for over 15,000 years prior to that time, transitioning from Stone Age civilization around 2000 BC.
When Spain colonized panama in the 1500's, they brought spanish with them. It's stayed there ever since.
