Venezuela Avenue[b] is a major thoroughfare of the districts of Lima, Breña and San Miguel of Lima Province, and Bellavista and La Perla districts in Callao. It begins west of Alfonso Ugarte Avenue and continues through the entirety of the city until it reaches Callao.
Both Venezuela and neighbouring Uruguay avenues were formerly a single avenue known as Progress Avenue (Spanish: Avenida del Progreso), and were inaugurated under the government of Augusto B. Leguía in 1924,[1] the first of its kind in the country.[2]
