Aguaro-Guariquito National Park
Aguaro-Guariquito National Park, National park in Guarico state, Venezuela.
The protected area spans 585,750 hectares of plains, sand dunes, rivers, streams, and palm forests in central Venezuela.
The Venezuelan government established Aguaro-Guariquito National Park in 1974 to preserve representative samples of high and low central plains.
Local communities use the moriche palm trees, which reach 24 meters in height, to create hammocks, ropes, and baskets.
Visitors can access the park through the main entrance from Mercedes del Llano municipality to Cabruta or through routes crossing between Palenque and Santa Rita.
White sand dunes within the park gradually move westward, creating an ever-changing landscape in this protected natural environment.
