Petare

Really dirty and chaotic... Only use it under your own risk

I live there

Petare is a Venezuelan population, capital of the Sucre Municipality of Miranda State and one of the 32 parishes in the Caracas metropolitan area. According to the INE Census in 2011, Petare had a population of 412,756 inhabitants. On February 17, 1621, Captain Pedro Gutiérrez de Lugo and Father Gabriel de Mendoza founded the town of Dulce Nombre de Jesús de Petare, on a small hill bordered by the El Oro gorge and the Caurimare and Guaire rivers. The Mariches, an indigenous group belonging to the Caribbean linguistic family, inhabited these lands until 1573, when their main cacique, the Cacique Tamanaco, died at the hands of the Spanish conquistador Pedro Alonso Galeas. From then on, the submission of the aborigines began and the distribution of the first parcels by Diego de Losada, Juan Gallegos, Sebastián Díaz Alfaro and Francisco Fajardo. According to the use of the time, the colonizers, mostly Canaries, built the villa following the square shape of the central square, around which they located the church, the first public buildings, the market and the homes of the most notable families. In the fertile Mariche valley, coffee, cocoa, corn and sugar cane farms proliferated; the latter was processed in the nearby sugar mills to extract the sweet paper and the bitter brandy. These fields provided food not only to the residents of Dulce Nombre de Jesús, but also to their neighbors in Caracas. Among the most important were La Bolea, Los Marrones, La Urbina, Los Ruices, El Marqués, Macaracuay and Güere-Güere (today La California Norte development).

I like it because people are normal and very calm
