It's my first contest, thanks for the invitation @kpine
Maybe it's not the best time that my country is going through. Without a doubt, we are world news and not because of our natural beauty, because of the prominence of our athletes, nor because of having many beauty brands.
Today we will not talk about that, today I want to present what it really is MY COUNTRY VENEZUELA
VENEZUELA is located in South America, constituted by a large number of small islands or islets in the Caribbean Sea, whose capital and largest urban agglomeration is the city Caracas. It has a territorial extension of 916 445 km². The continental territory borders on the north with the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, on the west with Colombia, on the south with Brazil and on the east with Guyana.
