Carrizal
Carrizal, Miranda, Venezuela
Description
Carrizal is a city in Miranda state, capital of the municipality of the same name and one of the emblematic towns of the Altos Mirandinos, perched more than 1,300 meters above sea level. Its roots go back to the late 17th century, when a hamlet took shape that its first inhabitants, many of them arriving from the Canary Islands, called El Carrizal. Recognized as an ecclesiastical parish in 1826 and favored in 1827 with a land donation from Don José Manuel Álvarez for a school and farming, Carrizal stood out early on for producing coffee, flowers, vegetables and minor crops, and today it is a key connection point between Caracas and the rest of the Miranda highlands.
According to the 2011 census by the National Institute of Statistics, the Carrizal municipality had 51,712 inhabitants over an area of just 32 km², making it one of the most compact and densely populated municipalities in Miranda state (Wikipedia, «Municipio Carrizal», accessed 2026). Its cool mountain climate and proximity to the capital have driven sustained residential and commercial growth over recent decades.
