[Brief description] It is located in the northern part of the South American continent. Guyana is a neighbor to the east, bordering Brazil to the south, west of the border with Colombia, and north of the Caribbean Sea. The coastline is 2,813 kilometers long. The whole territory has a tropical grassland climate except for the mountains. Temperatures vary according to altitude: mild in the mountains and hot in the plains. The rainy season is from June to November, and the dry season is from December to May.

Once inhabited by the Arawak and Carib Indians, the country was colonized by Spain in 1567, declared independence on July 5, 1811, and formed the “Republic of Gran Colombia” with present-day Colombia, Panama, and Ecuador in 1819-1829, and established the Federal Republic of Venezuela in 1830, which was renamed the Federal Republic of Venezuela in 1864, with the name of Venezuela being changed to the United States. In 1864, it was renamed the United States of Venezuela; in 1953, it became the Republic of Venezuela; in 1999, it was renamed the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela; and in 1958, constitutional rule was instituted, and a civilian regime was established. Since then, the Democratic Action Party (PAD) and the Christian Socialist Party (PSOE) have alternated in power, and in December 1998, Chávez, the presidential candidate of the Centro Patriótico (Patriotic Center), won the general election, thus breaking the long-standing political pattern of alternation between the two traditional parties.
