Queniquea, Mountain settlement in Táchira, Venezuela
Queniquea stretches across 146 square kilometers of mountainous terrain at an elevation of 1,597 meters in the Táchira state of Venezuela.
Father Casimiro Mora established this settlement on October 7, 1808, which later became the capital of Sucre Municipality within the Táchira region.
The town maintains strong agricultural traditions with specialized coffee cultivation methods adapted to the mountain climate and volcanic soil conditions.
The municipality divides into eight distinct aldeas, including Colinas De Queniquea, La Blanca, La Colorada, La Pérez, Machado, and Santa Filomena.
Archaeological discoveries near Colinas de Queniquea in 1991 revealed evidence of sophisticated agricultural communities dating back to 300 BC.
