Falcón, State in northwestern Venezuela.
Falcón extends along the Caribbean Sea with coastal plains rising to mountain ranges, featuring dry lands in the north and fertile valleys in the south.
The region was first explored in 1499 by Juan de la Cosa and Amerigo Vespucci, leading to the establishment of Coro as a settlement in 1527.
The state capital Coro received UNESCO World Heritage status in 1993 for its preserved colonial architecture and historical urban landscape.
Four national parks within the state borders offer natural attractions: Médanos de Coro, Cueva de la Quebrada del Toro, Morrocoy, and Juan Crisóstomo Falcón.
The Paraguaná Peninsula contains Venezuela's largest oil refineries at Amuay and Cardón, processing petroleum for international export via maritime routes.
