Formerly known as República de Venezuela, since 15 December 1999 the country has taken the name of República Bolivariana de Venezuela. In its territory the Andean region, that of the llanos of the Orinoco (vast alluvial lowland), a wide strip of the Guayana massif and the Caribbean region come into contact. Discovered by Christopher Columbus, who in 1498 during his third voyage to America reached the mouth of the Orinoco, Venezuela owes its name to the Portuguese Alfonso de Ojeda and Amerigo Vespucci: the two navigators, in 1499, exploring the Caribbean coast, they had entered the lake of Maracaibo and they had come across some indigenous villages on stilts, the sight of which reminded them of Venice; for this reason they called the area Venezuela, that is, “little Venice”. The country was for a long time a province of the vast Spanish dominions, but it never knew the glories of other areas of the Iberian colonial empire; indeed, until the beginning of the twentieth century Venezuela lived in general conditions of poverty and backwardness, subjugated by the heavy colonial inheritances, expressed in the absolute domination of the Creole aristocracy. To revolutionize the situation, starting from the 1920s, the discovery of oil and natural gas fields intervened. These discoveries have led to a moderate industrial development, but have proved insufficient to heal the dramatic economic and social disparities. According to COUNTRYAAH, Venezuela is a nation in South America, the capital city of which is Caracas. The latest population of Venezuela is 28,435,951.

Values ​​and characteristics are not very different in the coastal region, although here the quantity of precipitation – often considerably lower – depends substantially on the possible obstacle opposed by the reliefs, or in any case on the more or less happy exposure to the trade winds.
