This industrial town in Venezuela's Anzoátegui State is home to just 162,704 people, far fewer than the 2005 estimate of 106,275. That population figure alone should give pause to anyone considering a move here - the city is tiny, and job opportunities are likely limited outside the natural gas and petroleum industries. And while Anaco has an airport, it no longer handles commercial flights, meaning getting in and out could be a persistent headache. The bureaucracy is likely a slog as well, given Venezuela's reputation. Overall, Anaco seems suitable only for those with a very specific need to live in this remote corner of the country.
