Plaza Bolívar of Caracas, Venezuela.

Caracas (pron. IPA [ka'ɾakas]) 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 (Cordillera de la Costa). 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 Ávila) that rises above 8,000 ft (2600 m); to the south lies further hills and mountains.
