Caracas (pron. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation)IPA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet) [ka'ɾakas]) is the capital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital) and largest city of Venezuela (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuela). It is located in the north of the country, following the contours of a narrow mountain valley located on the Venezuelan coastal range (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_Range%2C_Venezuela) (Cordillera de la Costa). The valley's temperatures are springlike, and the urbanizable terrain of the Caracas Valley lies between 2,500 and 3,000 ft (760 and 910 m) above sea level (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_mean_sea_level). The Valley is close to the Caribbean Sea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Sea) , separated from the coast by a steep mountain range (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_range) (Cerro Ávila (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerro_El_%C3%81vila)) that rises above 7400 ft (2200 m); to the south lies further hills and mountains.
The official district of Caracas, El Distrito Metropolitano de Caracas (The Metropolitan District of Caracas) is the official name of the district governed as Caracas. It covers the Distrito Capital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_Capital_District), and four other municipalities in Miranda State (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_State) including Chacao (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chacao_Municipality), Baruta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruta_Municipality), Sucre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucre_Municipality%2C_Miranda), and El Hatillo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Hatillo_Municipality). The city of Caracas had an estimated population of 3,140,076 as of 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005). The population of Greater Caracas' (including neighboring cities out of the Capital District) urban agglomeration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_agglomeration) is approximately 4.7 million people
