In a nutshell

15 Reviews Once in Caracas, you must go to Mariperez, where Avila M?gica (cable car station) its located. Go Up must take around 15 minutes, Will enjoy the view from the city while the car its going up. Dont stand up while the cable car its working. Be at your seat.
19 Reviews CARACAS IS A VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS PLACE TO VISIT. AFTER 8PM YOU CANT GO OUTSIDE UNLESS YOU WANNA BE DEATH. I FLOWN FROM CANADA TO VENEZUELA. AND LET ME TELL YOU. IN JUST ONE WEEK I WAS STOLEN TWICE . SO THINK TWICE YOU TRAVEL TO THIS DANGEROUS COUNTRY AND DONT WASTE DOLLARS AND TIME COMMING...
8 Reviews The Museum of Modern Art is one of the best of its kind in Latin America. It was inaugurated in 1973 and on 16 000 sq metres there are both permanent and temporary exhibitions. In the permanent collection there are almost 3000 pieces of art and you will find paintings, sculptures, installations and...
8 Reviews The entrance to the Botanical Garden is just next to the entrance to the University. On 70 hectare there are over 2200 species and all together 150 000 plants. There are a few greenhouses and there are walking paths for nice walks and a couple of ponds. In the garden you will find Venezuelan species...
4 Reviews If you want to buy some authentic venezuelan craft, El Hatillo is the place to be. There are a lot of different stores, selling different things. There is one store that has it all. It's so big you could get lost in it! They have different areas in this place; things from the rain forest, kitchen...
Teresa Carreno performing arts center
4 Reviews This is a cultural centre between Parque Central and the Natural Science Museum. The large, grey building has a retro-feel and is not particularly attractive. But if you have nothing planned for the evening, suggest that you drop by here to check out what are the upcoming events. When I was there,...
3 Reviews When in caracas , you can take a side trip to COLONIA TOVAR its a small german settlement just 40 minutes by car... You you feel the difference of the busy capital to a more quiet mountain side. Visit my LA COLONIA TOVAR page.

10 Reviews The buses in Venezuela are much too cold (the night buses). I had been warned about it but could not imagine how cold it actually was. For my first bus journey in Venezuela, with the night bus between Caracas and Ciudad Bolivar, I was dressed in long trousers, a warm sweater, socks in the sandals...
7 Reviews A single ride on the metro is 0,5 Bs.F (June 2008), but if you are planning to travel more you can buy a Multiabono with ten rides for 4,5 Bs.F. There is a long metro line going from east to west, and there is another one going from Caricuao in the southwest . Another line is going from the south,...
50 Reviews Allow me to quote myself (hhhaHAHhahahaAh) in Spanish: "Ha quedado ampliamente demostrado que para ser Presidente de Venezuela lo único que se necesita tener son signos vitales". That is...it has been proved tha in order to become President of Venezuela, the only thing you need are vital signs (to...
5 Reviews Native house of the Liberator Located between the corners of San Jacinto and Traposos, it is the place where the 24 of June of 1783 were born Simón Antonio of the Santísima Trinidad Bolivar Palacios y Blanco, that years later would become the father of the freedom of America. This house of colonial...
14 Reviews I have a friend who lives in Caracas and says it is still very unsafe to be out anywhere after a certain point at night. The criminals really love to "nail" the tourist that come into the airport. If I recall, you have to go thru a poor area before you get into the hotel area(which that alone is not...
15 Reviews If you like the good herb like I do. If your staying in Caracas, make sure you are not walking the streets with it on you. I got stopped and frisked by the bastard cops. They searched me dam well. I thought they were gunna strip me bare. Always leave your guja back at your place of stay otherwise...
18 Reviews Before traveling to Caracas, please go online and read carefully State Dept. travel advisory warnings about suspicious arrangements made between some Airport Staff and some Taxi drivers. Use ONLY taxis sent by your hotel, and only book at brand hotels that you are familiar with. Do NOT wear...

4 Reviews Hi! Safe areas: Los Ruices, Sebucan, Los Dos Caminos, Palos Grandes, Parque del Este, Chacao, Altamira, Chacaito, La California, Bello Monte, Colinas de Bello Monte, Los Chaguaramos, Sta Monica, etc... To be avoided: Downtown and west of the city, from Plaza Venezuela metro station to the west,...
4 Reviews It's a small town but very cozy. There are several handicraft shops with the nicest things! The day I was there there were some performers in the Plaza Bolivar.... And seemed like a very family thing to do on Sundays, just to hang out on the square, have some coffee in the nearby cafés... Nice...
2 Reviews Best destinations : Level of training, none: Quebrada Quintero ( take the right instead of the left when you get to the path that takes to Sabasnieves). This place is one of my favorites since there's a beautiful waterfall. Level of training, medium: Sabasnieves and Quebrada Las Adjuntas. To get...
7 Reviews Just getting out and wandering around Caracas is worthwhile. While the city is a bit grubby and smoggy, it does provide the visitor with the experience of visiting a typical Lantin American city. Wander through the markets along Sabana Grande or just sit and watch the old fellas playing chess. Don't...
7 Reviews drink a lot of fruit juice. Almost every restaurant in Caracas serves fresh fruit juice of many different fruits. The usually offer strawberry, passion fruit, orange, watermelon, papaya, pineapple, etc.
