Venezuela.

Metropolitan Caracas includes the Distrito Capital (the capital city proper) and four other municipalities in Miranda State: Baruta, Chacao, El Hatillo, and Sucre (not to be confused with Bolivia's constitutional capital Sucre).

Caracas lies in a tropical climate zone with average temperatures of over 23° Celsius year-round.
