Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LARA , western state of
Venezuela
 , lying in the
angle
  formed by the parting of the N. and N.E. ranges of the Cordillera de Merida and extending N.E. with converging frontiers to the Caribbean. Pop. (1905 estimate) 272,252. The greater part of its surface is mountainous, with elevated fertile valleys which have a temperate climate. The Tocuyo river rises in the S.W.
angle
  of the state and flows N.E. to the Caribbean with a
total
  length of 287 m. A narrow-gauge railway, the "
South
 -western," owned by British capitalists, runs from the port of Tucacas 55 M. S.W. to Barquisimeto by way of the Aroa copper-mining
district
 . Lara produces wheat and other cereals, coffee,
sugar
 , tobacco, neat cattle, sheep and various
mineral
  ores, including silver, copper, iron, lead, bismuth and antimony. The
capital
 , Barquisimeto, is one of the largest and most progressive of the inland cities of
Venezuela
 . Carora is also prominent as a commercial centre. Tocuyo (pop. in 1891, 15,383), 40 M. S.W. of Barquisimeto, is an important commercial and mining town, over 2000 ft. above sea-level, in the midst of a
rich
  agricultural and
pastoral
  region. Yaritagua (pop. about 12,000), 20 M. E. of Barquisimeto, and 1026 ft. above the sea, is known for its cigar manufactories.
