About Caracas
Caracas is the capital of Venezuela, sitting in a long valley below the mountain known as El Ávila, which separates the city from the Caribbean coast. It is the country's political and commercial centre, and its time matters to families, businesses and the oil industry with links across the Americas and Europe.
Venezuela runs on Venezuelan Standard Time at UTC-4 and does not observe daylight saving. The country used an unusual half-hour offset until 2016, so older sources may show a different time. Today Caracas matches New York during US summer time and is one hour ahead of it in winter, while it keeps exactly the same time as Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo all year.
