The Tocuyo River (which is Río Tocuyo in Spanish) is an important river in Venezuela. It flows all the way to the Caribbean Sea, where its waters join the ocean. This river helps shape the land it passes through.
About the Tocuyo River
The Tocuyo River is located in the northern part of Venezuela. It starts in the mountains and flows generally northward. As it travels, it collects water from many smaller streams. This makes it grow bigger before it reaches the sea.
River's Path and Nature
The river flows through a special area called the Lara-Falcón dry forests ecoregion. An ecoregion is a large area of land or water that has its own unique plants and animals. The Tocuyo River is very important for this ecoregion. It provides water for the plants and animals that live there. It also helps to carry nutrients through the landscape.
