llanos
Venezuelan flat expanses
Llanos are the vast tropical grasslands of South America, particularly in Venezuela and Colombia.
The terrain is flat, seasonally flooded, and dominated by savanna vegetation rather than forest.
Cattle ranching has long been the primary land use: The llanos supported enormous herds of cattle.
The singular llano appears in place names across the Spanish-speaking world.
