🇻🇪 Barquisimeto, Venezuela

Barquisimeto is the fourth-largest city in Venezuela, with a population of approximately 1.5 million people. While not a coastal city, it is of interest to seafarers, shipowners, and crewing companies due to its proximity to Lake Maracaibo, the largest lake in South America. The lake is connected to the Caribbean Sea and serves as an important trade route for shipping and transportation.
