Spanish-English dictionary:
* esquina (noun feminine): "an exterior corner [of a building; as opposed to a recess]" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/esquina
(d) "The capital's smallest district, Chacao is also the wealthiest * * * The sliver-thin neighborhood is packed with low-rise apartments and gated residences and stretches from the Guaire River to the lush green mountain that separates Caracas from the Caribbean."
(i) Chacao, Venezuela https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chacao,_Venezuela
(section 5 History: name)
(ii) "the lush green mountain that separates Caracas from the Caribbean"
Enter Caracas (without quotation marks) in the google, and atop the search returns is a google sketch for Caracas, where the green mountain was north of Caracas, sandwiched by Caribbean and Caracas. Guaire River is short and slender; it is hard to tell in the Google map, except that Francisco Fajardo Freeway runs on both sides of the River.
