Caricuao, Parish in Libertador municipality, Caracas, Venezuela.
Located in southwestern Caracas at 980 meters elevation, Caricuao parish extends across multiple residential developments and green zones within the capital district.
The parish, officially established on April 8, 1975, takes its name from an indigenous chief who led resistance movements against Spanish colonizers in the region.
The district became a center for Venezuelan musical innovation in the 1960s, generating the first rocksteady, reggae, and ska bands in the country.
