Caracas, the capital and largest city of Venezuela, is located in the north of the country, nestled in the valleys of the Andes Mountains, at an altitude of about 900 meters above sea level, with a tropical highland climate that is mild and pleasant throughout the year. As the political, economic and cultural center of Venezuela, it is home to the country's most important financial institutions, industrial enterprises and cultural institutions, including iconic landmarks such as Avenida Bolívar, the Central University and Simón Bolívar International Airport. The city blends Spanish colonial architecture with a modern urban look and is rich in art museums, galleries and parks, but also faces urbanization challenges such as a swelling population and traffic congestion. Despite the economic fluctuations of recent years, Caracas remains one of the most important metropolises in Latin America, carrying the memory of Venezuela's history and dynamism.
