Calabozo, Capital city in Guárico state, Venezuela
Located along the Guárico River, Calabozo sits on a piedmont plain between mountains and plains, 180 kilometers south-southwest of Caracas.
Capuchin missionaries established the settlement in 1695, but permanent Spanish colonization only began in 1727, transforming it into a significant regional center.
The city maintains traditional Venezuelan agricultural practices through its extensive rice production systems and cattle ranching methods passed down through generations.
The Guárico River Reclamation Project headquarters manages irrigation and flood control systems, supporting the regional agricultural infrastructure.
Local inventor Carlos del Pozo y Sucre created scientific instruments in Calabozo that impressed explorer Alexander von Humboldt during his 1800 visit.
