This Is CARACAS After Maduro's Fall: The Real Story

In January 2026, a US military operation captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro directly from his residence in Caracas, ending over a decade of his rule. As the political situation in Venezuela continues to evolve, this video isn't about the politics, it's about the real Caracas: a city squeezed into a narrow valley between a mountain and the sea, with an extraordinary history most people never hear about. In this video we explore Caracas beyond the headlines: the birthplace of Simón Bolívar, a nearly 45-story tower left unfinished and taken over by thousands of squatters, one of the most celebrated classical music education systems in the world, and the hyperinflation crisis so extreme the currency had to lose multiple zeros, more than once. You'll discover why more than seven million Venezuelans left the country in the past decade, and what everyday life really looks like in this city of extraordinary highs and extraordinary lows.
