El Paraíso, Administrative parish in central Caracas, Venezuela.
El Paraíso extends over 10.4 square kilometers within the Libertador Municipality, featuring residential areas and public institutions throughout its territory.
The development of El Paraíso began in 1895 under President Joaquín Crespo, with President Cipriano Castro's move to Villa Zoila in 1904 attracting high society.
The parish contains educational facilities including the Instituto Pedagógico and numerous sports venues such as the Estadio Brígido Iriarte and baseball stadium.
The parish connects to multiple transportation routes and contains essential services, though traffic congestion occurs at major intersections like Monumento a Carabobo.
