Location
Barquisimeto is a city on the Turbio River and the capital of Lara state, in northwestern Venezuela. It’s known for its modern cathedral and the Barquisimeto Museum, which displays regional artworks. The central Bararida Zoological Institute and Botanical Garden is a park and zoo featuring pumas, manatees, and hippos. West of the center, El Obelisco is a tower offering panoramic city views. Barquisimeto was founded in 1552 by Juan de Villegas, as a headquarters and to have better control of the territory believed to be rich in gold. Its original name was "Nueva Segovia de Barquisimeto"and then it was shortened to just Barquisimeto. According to the German adventurer Nikolaus Federmann, the Caquetío aborigines used to call it Variquicimeto, which translates as "ash-colored river", the name with which the natives distinguished the water stream near the city. This river was named "Turbio River" by the Spanish conquerors, a name that is still in use today. Another possible name origin is due to a red dye called bariquí.
