Dìa Y Noche
Petare, one of South America’s largest slums, is located just outside Caracas, Venezuela’s capital city.
It is known as a chavista district, and despite election promises, most of Petare still lacks running water and a modern sewage system.
During the day, Petare is a beehive of barrios, an enormous human conglomerate with serious issues to solve, from disabled people
segregated in their homes to extreme poverty.
By night Petare becomes one of the worst centers for Venezuelan criminality and has the highest murder rate in the nation.
Nightly police squads sift the streets to fight the arms trade, drug trafficking and the black market.
In broad daylight, poverty; under the moonlight, violence. This is Petare after 16 years of Chavism.
