Guárico, State division in north-central Venezuela
Guárico State spans 64,986 square kilometers between Venezuela's central highlands in the north and the Orinoco River in the south.
The province of Guárico emerged in 1848 from the division of Caracas province into three parts and gained state status in 1864.
The state population includes 447,479 Mestizos, 242,883 Whites, 42,578 Afro-Venezuelans, and 948 Indigenous people, creating a varied social composition.
The Guárico River Reclamation Project near Calabozo transformed 50,000 acres of plains into irrigated fields for rice, sorghum, and corn production.
The region contains thermal water sites, two national parks - Aguaro-Guariquito and Guatopo - and mountains reaching heights of 1,900 meters.
