Caracas (capital) in Venezuela VENEZUELA venezuela. caracas-capital Informations and links Caracas (capital)2 000 000 hab. Map Caracas (capital) Photos Caracas (capital) Population on 21-Oct-01 : 1836000 ------------------------------- Caracas (pron. IPA) is the capital of Venezuela. It is located in the north of the country, following the contours of a narrow mountain valley. The valley's temperatures are springlike, and the urbanizable terrain of the Caracas Valley lies between 2,500 and 3,000 ft (760 and 910 m) above sea level. The Valley is close to the Caribbean Sea , separated from the coast by a steep mountain range (Cerro ?vila) that rises above 8,000 ft (2600 m). The historic center of Caracas, known as the Libertador District, had a population of 1.9 million in 2004. In that same year, the metropolitan area boasted a population of 5.1 million. Distrito Federal is the name of Caracas' primary seat. The metropolitan area also covers part of Miranda State. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Venezuela was one of three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Ecuador). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: an embattled president, a divided military, drug-related conflicts along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples..
