To the south there are more hills and mountains that form the valley. The Metropolitan Region of Caracas has an estimated population of over 5 million inhabitants.

Capital status
National capital of Venezuela
Caracas is the capital and largest city of Venezuela, with about 3 million residents in the city and metropolitan district set in a narrow valley of the coastal mountain range, near the Caribbean port of La Guaira. The city observes Venezuelan Standard Time (VET, UTC-4) with no daylight saving; Venezuela used an unusual UTC-4:30 offset from 2007 until reverting to UTC-4 in May 2016. Founded in 1567, Caracas became the heart of Venezuelan independence as the birthplace of Simón Bolívar. It remains the country's political, financial, and cultural centre, and historically benefited from Venezuela's vast petroleum wealth, the largest proven oil reserves in the world.
