 Caracas is the capital of Venezuela. It is located in the north of the country, following the contours of a narrow mountain valley located on the Venezuelan coastal range. 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.
Caracas, often described as a concrete jungle, is far from being a tourists' paradise. It is congested, noisy, polluted, dirty and shockingly dangerous. Walking the streets aimlessly is risky even in day light. |
