Discovering Pregonero's History
Pregonero has a long history! People believe it was officially started in 1727 by a person named Francisco de Borja y Mora. He came with settlers from a place called La Grita. But even before that, there was already a native village in the area. So, people have lived here for a very long time!
Pregonero's Location and Climate
Pregonero is built on a flat area next to the Uribante River. This flat area was formed a very, very long time ago during the Ice Age. The weather here is usually warm, like a tropical savanna. This means it has wet summers and dry winters. Every year, Pregonero gets about 1,400 millimeters (or 55 inches) of rain. Not too far from the town, you can find the Uribante Caparo dam, which is an important structure for the region.
