Carrizal, Municipality in Miranda State, Venezuela

The city of Carrizal covers 23.9 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 1,300 meters in the coastal mountain range of Venezuela.

In February 1571, Juan de Guevara granted an encomienda in Los Altos region, leading to the initial settlement of what would become Carrizal.

The name Carrizal originates from the Carrizo plant, a native species growing up to three meters tall with yellowish flowers in the region.

The municipality connects to neighboring cities through the Pan-American Highway and maintains direct road access to San Antonio de Los Altos and Los Teques.

The population of Carrizal increased from 40,062 residents in 1997 to 85,416 in 2023, marking substantial growth within its 32 square kilometer territory.
