The city is located in the Orinoquia
Region, where the Oriental Plains begin. Most of the city's land is flat ground
draining away from the Andes. The Guatiquia borders the city to the north and
east. Caqueza and Chipaque are located northwest of Villavicencio. A true
portal to the Llanos, the roads south of Villavo lead to Acacias and San
Martin, the first historical town of the LLanos, which was an early Jesuit
settlement. East of Villavo they point towards Apiay, Puerto Lopez and the
fluvial port of Orocue on the Meta river, a strong affluent of the Orinoco
