It is located geographically in the South-East section of the city. Its western limit is the Los Chaguaramos neighborhood (that belongs to the Libertador Municipality) and limits to the east with the Colinas de Los Ruices neighborhood (that belongs to the Sucre Municipality). To the North, it borders with the Francisco Fajardo Highway and to the Southeast with the El Hatillo Municipality and to the Southwest with the Hoyo de la Puerta neighborhood (Libertador Municipality).
