El Algarrobo

Among the settlements of Miranda, El Algarrobo stands out for its position in the hilly southern reaches of the Caracas metropolitan area. It lies within Venezuela’s Cordillera de la Costa, the mountain system that follows much of the country’s Caribbean-facing north and shapes the capital region’s dense pattern of valleys and slopes. Caracas is northwest of here, while the surrounding terrain points toward the more residential and semi-rural side of inland Miranda. The state is named for Francisco de Miranda, a key figure in Venezuela’s independence movement. See how El Algarrobo fits into Miranda and the Caracas region by browsing webcams nearby.
