MY COUNTRY

The Republic of Venezuela is the sixth largest country in South America, but in variation its landscape rivals that of the much larger countries like Brazil and Argentina. In fact, comparing its geography really doesn't do it justice: the country is simply unique. Anyone who has ever seen a tepuis rising above Venezuela's Gran Sabana can testify that there's nothing really like it, anywhere.

Venezuela lies at the northern extreme of South America, bordered by Colombia to the West, Brazil to the South, Guyana to the East, and the Caribbean Sea to the North. In all, the country is just over 900,000 square kilometers and divided into 23 states. Its borders seem to hold all of South America in miniature: there are fine stretches of the Andes, huge areas of Amazonian rain forests, fertile plains known as llanos, miles of Caribbean shoreline, and even a small desert. The nation also has a few geographical superlatives, including the world's highest waterfall and South America's biggest lake.

Venezuela is as much a Caribbean country as it is a South American one. Parts of its shoreline could easily be mistaken for that of some paradisiacal Caribbean island, and at night the discos in Caracas come alive with rhythms from all over the Caribbean. If you looked under the earth, you might easily mistake Venezuela for an oil-rich Arabian country. The oil reserves are so vast, in fact, that from time to time engineers and surveyors drill in the wrong place by mistake, miles away from where they think they should be, only to end up finding oil anyway.

Because of its proximity to the Equator, Venezuela experiences few climatic variations. There are really only two seasons: dry and wet.The dry season lasts from December to April,from May to November. The average temperature is about 27C, but cooler temperatures prevail at higher elevations, especially in the Andes, where jackets are needed.

Unit 11: It's a very exciting city!!

MARACAIBO.... there i live, it's a very nice an warm city (around 32º daily), but it also is an stressful and dangerous city,i think that Maracaibo have a lot of places where you can spend the night like "mi vaquita","saga" "mi ternerita"and "gabana" people around the country always came to Maracaibo on November and December, on November 18th we celebrate "El dia de La Chinita" is a fair where the pagans pays the promises and venerate the virgin , on December the people came here to eat the famous "hallacas" and also to enjoy the folkloric music of the region"la gaita", if some day you came to maracaibo you have to try the "patacones" they`re amaizing and also the "yoyos" you can ask to any villager which is the greatest city on earth and he's going to answer MARACAIBO!! so that't why i never change maracaibo for anything

my favorite city in the world is MARACAIBO
