What to see in Caracas

Caracas is the dynamic capital of Venezuela, where colonial history coexists with the mountain slopes and modern life of the metropolis. Situated at the foot of Mount Avila, the city combines a warm Caribbean atmosphere, rich cultural heritage and active street life. Here you can hear the voices of the past in the old churches and palaces, and around the green massifs and exits to the coast, which makes Caracas a truly unique place to travel.

Manufactures and facilities

The man-made sights of the city amaze with diversity: the Miraflores Palace and the Palace of Academies keep political and cultural history, and the squares of Bolivar and Altamira set the rhythm of urban life. The center of attention is also the Cathedral and the Church of St. Francis, the National Library and the complex of the State University of Caracas with its historical buildings. Don’t forget to stroll through the Botanical Garden and East Park (Parque del Este), see the modern Ibrahim al-Ibrahim Mosque and atmospheric city parks and museums.

Natural attractions and places

The natural attractions around Caracas are no less impressive: Mount Avila (El Avila) dominates the city and offers trails with panoramas, and national parks such as Henry Peter National Park give routes through forests and mountain landscapes. In the vicinity there are picturesque beaches and islands, such as Orchila and Balneario Camuri Chico, and in the more remote corners of Venezuela there are famous waterfalls - Kavi, Aponvao (Chinak Meru) and Jaspe.
