El Junquito, Mountain parish in Caracas, Venezuela.
El Junquito extends across 56 square kilometers of mountainous terrain at an elevation of 1910 meters within the Libertador Municipality of Caracas.
The Venezuelan government under General Juan Vicente Gomez constructed the first road connecting Caracas to El Junquito in 1930, marking its development.
The population of El Junquito increased during the 1950s with the arrival of Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian immigrants who established local businesses.
The parish maintains temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring appropriate clothing for mountain weather.
The parish derives its name from the junco plant, a local species that grows naturally in the mountainous environment of this region.
