Poverty in Venezuela

This is a photo of the a poor neighborhood near Caracas. Many of the hills that surround the city have been built with favelas. You can see the roofs of many of these constructions are just a some thin plaque of metal. Many of the walls of the “houses” are made with cardboard. I took this photo ten years ago, when the country was in the boom of the oil prices. Now days the situation is much more worst.
