A "llano" is a flat, grassy plain found primarily in regions of South America, particularly in Venezuela and Colombia. These areas are characterized by their vast expanses of open land, which are often used for grazing livestock and agriculture. The llano ecosystem supports a variety of wildlife and plant species, making it an important area for biodiversity. The climate in a llano is typically tropical, with distinct wet and dry seasons. During the rainy season, the plains can become lush and green, while the dry season often leads to a more arid landscape. This seasonal variation influences the local economy, particularly in cattle ranching and farming practices.
