Caracas

Great place to breath fresh air, have a beautiful view of the city of Caracas, and relax. These are one of my favorite places in Caracas, were you can escape of the city and relax your self with the nature. There are a lot of activities to do: ice ice-skating, visit the Humboldt Hotel, drinking hot chocolate and walk around to enjoy the landscapes. If you have kids, on the weekend are activities for them and a nice park, clowns etc. They can have fun!!!!!! You can take the TELEFERICO (Cable car) at Avila Magica. The ride it is of 15 min going up with the extraordinary view of Caracas and the mountain.

Address: Parque Nacional el El Avila

On a hot day, take the teleferico to get to the Avila Magica, it's pretty cool up there and you might get some rain so don't forget a sweater or jacket! There are plenty of activities for children like ice-skating, playground, live animation ect. For adults there is the beautiful vieuw over Caracas (all the way to the beach!) and live music, people dancing in the open air. You can have a quick bite at one of the stands or eat in a nice resto. All the way up, there is a hotel, which is the highest hotel in Caracas. You can never see the hole hotel because of the fog it's constantly surrounded by. This is a perfect place for a family outing!

Teleferico

If you come to Caracas and you want to escape from the noise you can take the sky ride or teleférico to Avila mountain, when you go up ther you can see the entire city in one side, and the caribbean sea in the other side. You can have a great time while you are there, you can eat typical food, do ice skating, etc. You can also go to Galipan, which is a town located in the middle of the mountain where you can go to great restaurants. But if you´re an athletic person you can go up by foot, it´ll take you around 3 or 4 hours, it´s a great excersice...

Address: Teleférico de Caracas near Cota mil

Directions: You go to Cota mil, and when you get to Mariperez exit you´ll see the signs to the sky ride...Sorry for the website, it´s in spanish...

You don't have to have a passion for hiking for this one. It's an easy climb, with a waterfall where if you want, you can cool down in. Beautiful vegetation and healthy feel to the air (even if that is only in your imagiation..)

Caracas is located under the Avila, a mountain that reaches 2600 meters (7800 ft.), where the Humboldt Hotel is located, which you can reach by cable car. Both the hotel and the cable car have been without activity for the last few years, but since last February the cable car service is back, giving us a very special tourist activity in the city.

Address: Avila

Other Contact: Early in the morning is the best

Climb the Avilar (sp?) mountain. Every Sunday it would seem that the locals take the tour up the mountain. Beware, if you are unfit or have only just arrived you must take it easy the air is very thin compared to sea level. An amazing view of the whole of Caracas.

Directions: It is the big pointy thing just behind Caracas city
