Named after the Spanish military officer Juan Falcón, the state is known for its diverse geography, which includes beaches, mountains, and deserts. It is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north and shares borders with the states of Lara, Zulia, and Portuguesa.
The state's capital, Coro, is one of the oldest cities in Venezuela and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 for its well-preserved colonial architecture. Falcón also hosts the Médanos de Coro National Park, a unique desert ecosystem characterized by vast sand dunes, attracting both tourists and researchers.
Falcón has a rich cultural heritage, influenced by Indigenous, Spanish, and African traditions. Its economy is primarily based on agriculture, fishing, and tourism, with special attention to the production of fish, shellfish, and crops such as cotton and sorghum.
