At the risk of dispelling the magic, it was very likely just cheap asphalt around Caracas. Over time or under specific conditions, the asphalt separates or undergoes a chemical transformation, and now the road's covered in slime.

They repaved the roads and the problem disappeared.

Considering Venezuela sits atop large reserves of low grade oil I would not surprise me it’s some sort of seepage.

  But the asphalt has been placed on some excavation and experiences constant compressions?
I am going to blame this as on Juiblex.

I don't know how to stop the Faceless Lord but I think its going to be an epic adventure
