Caracas is the capital and largest city 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 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 2200 m; to the south lies further hills and mountains.
