Central-Western Region, Administrative region in Venezuela.
The Central-Western Region extends across 66,900 square kilometers, encompassing the states of Falcón, Lara, Portuguesa, and Yaracuy within Venezuela's territory.
Spanish explorers Juan de la Cosa and Américo Vespucio first surveyed this region in 1499 during an expedition directed by Alonso de Ojeda.
The region contains multiple agricultural communities that maintain traditional farming methods, producing potatoes, vegetables, and fruits in the Coma Yagua Valley.
Four main cities serve as administrative centers: Barquisimeto in Lara, Punto Fijo in Falcón, Acarigua in Portuguesa, and San Felipe in Yaracuy.
The region exhibits diverse climate patterns, from semi-arid conditions in Falcón to tropical rainforest environments in Yaracuy, creating distinct ecological zones.
