Caracas, is the capital of Venezuela and the political, financial, and cultural epicenter of the country. Located in a beautiful and dynamic valley of the Coastal Range, the city is surrounded by the majestic Waraira Repano National Park (popularly known as El Ávila Mountain), an imposing 2,200-meter-high mountain range that separates the metropolis from the Caribbean Sea and grants it an enviable spring-like climate year-round. As the country's most populous city, with an estimated population of nearly 5 million inhabitants, Caracas blends a vibrant urban life with a rich historical heritage that beats from its central historic downtown at Plaza Bolívar to its modern commercial districts. It is a destination of fascinating contrasts, ideal for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the history, art, and movement of a great Caribbean capital.
