The mountain range runs east— west along the northern Caribbean Sea coast. It is also known as the Central Range.
In the east the Cordillera de la Costa Central follow the border between the states of La Guaira and Miranda. They then pass through the states of Aragua and Carabobo, and the eastern part of the state of Yaracuy, and they terminate south of the Yaracuy river in the northern part of the state of Cojedes.
