| Convert from caballeria [Central America] to tarea |
Unit Definition (caballeria [Central America]) The caballeria [Central America] is a traditional unit of land area. In Central America it equals 60 manzanas, which is roughly 45 hectares (110 acres). Unit Definition (tarea) The tarea is a traditional unit of land area in the Dominican Republic and some parts of Central America. The tarea is generally equal to 900 square varas, so it is the area of a square 30 varas (about 25.05 meters) on a side. In the Dominican Republic, the tarea equals about 628 square meters or 751 square yards; this is 0.0628 hectare or 0.155 acre. The Spanish word tarea means a task or job, so this unit, like many land area units, originated as the area which could be "worked" in a given time.
