They prefer the mild climate, the cities' culture and the wealth from oil to a frontiersman's life in the rough & tough interior. As a result, the winning of Venezuela's West (actually its South) is still a century-old dream.

But the old dream lives on: now Venezuela hopes to push back her frontier...
