Description of Venezuela*:
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is located in Northern South
America, bordering the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, between
Colombia and Guyana. Venezuela's climate is predominately tropical.
From the snow-capped mountains of the Andes, the steamy Amazon jungle,
the Gran Sabana plateau, and sandy beaches of the Caribbean coast,
Venezuela is ripe with natural beauty. Temperatures rarely vary more
than a few degrees, and climatic zones are generally defined by
rainfall rather than differences in temperature.
