It was created in order to protect the upper basin of the Tocuyo River. In total there are five basins, Orinoco, Guanare, Motatán, and Lake Maracaibo, including the Tocuyo River.
It has an area of 45,328 hectares of mountainous relief in whose entrails are born in addition to the river Tocuyo, numerous streams of water of regional importance. This motivated the natives who populated it to call it Dinira, because its waters feed other currents below. It can rain up to 1,300 mm annually.
