Venezuela
Angel Falls country
Venezuela is a country on the northern coast of South America, bordered by Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana.
Once among Latin America's wealthiest nations due to vast oil reserves, it has experienced severe economic collapse and political turmoil since the 2010s, prompting mass emigration.
The Venezuelan diaspora has reshaped communities across the Americas.
