Ciudad Guayana in Venezuela VENEZUELA venezuela. ciudadguayana Informations and links Ciudad Guayana650 000 hab. Map Ciudad Guayana Photos Ciudad Guayana Population on 21-Oct-01 : 629000 ------------------------------- Ciudad Guayana is a city in Bol?var State, Venezuela. It lies south of the Orinoco, where the river is joined by the Caron? River. The city, officially founded in 1961, is actually composed of the old town of San Felix and the new town of Puerto Ordaz, which lie either side of the Caron? and are connected by two bridges. The city stretches 40 kilometers along the south bank of the Orinoco. With approximately 800,000 people, it's a large city by Venezuelan standards. It's also the country's fastest-growing city, due to it's important iron industry. It's one of Venezuela's five most important ports, since most goods produced in Bol?var are shipped through it into the Atlantic Ocean, via the Orinoco river. (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..
