Boconó, Colonial mountain city in Trujillo, Venezuela.
Boconó stretches across a fertile valley in the Venezuelan Andes, surrounded by mountains and agricultural fields at an elevation of 1,300 meters.
The city traces its origins to 1560 when Spanish colonizers established a settlement in the Cuicas Province to access reported gold deposits.
Local residents maintain traditional crafts production and organize frequent festivals featuring Venezuelan mountain music and regional dances throughout the year.
The municipal airport and mountain roads connect Boconó to major Venezuelan cities, while the mild climate supports year-round agricultural activities.
The Boconó Fault, a major geological formation in the Andes Mountains, runs through this region and shapes its distinctive landscape.
