Táchira, Administrative region in western Venezuela
Táchira State encompasses 11,100 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including mountains, tropical jungles, and savannahs along the Colombian border.
The state of Táchira, established in 1899, emerged from Spanish colonization that began with the founding of San Cristóbal in 1561.
The population of 1.2 million residents maintains traditions influenced by both Venezuelan and Colombian heritage due to the border location.
The capital city San Cristóbal functions as a primary economic center with universities, commercial districts, and transportation links to Colombia.
The elevation variations within Táchira create multiple climate zones, reaching heights of 4,000 meters above sea level in mountainous regions.
