Caracas, capital of Venezuela, urban spirit, excellent food, art , bustling nightlife.
Caracas is the capital and largest city of Venezuela. It is located in northern Venezuela, near the Caribbean.
Understand[edit]
Venezuela’s urban spirit can be discovered mainly from understanding Caracas, its capital city.
Caracas is not one of the top touristic destinations of Venezuela, and travelers often bypass the capital city in order to see the country’s amazing natural attractions. However, the Venezuelan capital can be a fascinating city to explore, replete with excellent art, food and a bustling nightlife.
Caracas is located in a beautiful valley, overlooked by Mount Avila, an impressive mountain that separates the city from the Caribbean Sea and shapes most of the city’s landscape. It is a popular weekend destination for the city’s residents (known as Caraqueños) and is easily reached by taking a very modern cable car that goes all the way from the mountain base to the newly nationalized Waraira Repano park, which is situated at the top of the mountain.
In Caracas the staggering inequalities of wealth that characterize Venezuela’s economic situation are on display. They range from very poor neighborhoods in the hills west of the city called “barrios”, to the modern busiCaracas has more than enough sights and attractions to fill three or four days although it is often overlooked by international travelers.
La Plaza Bolivar, located near the Metro Capitolio. Is located in the city center. It has statues of Simon Bolivar, and is close to Congress and other government buildings. It also displays nice examples of colonial architecture. Look out for black squirrels that roams around the trees in the plaza. edit
La Casa Natal de Simon Bolivar. Bolivar's birthplace, also downtown. One of the few well-preserved colonial buildings with some great paintings and a museum. Next door is the Museo Bolivariano with some of Bolivar's war relics. Capitolio Metro Station. edit
Museo de Arte Colonial, Located in the Quinta Anauco on Av Panteon in San Bernardino. this is a lovely old house and garden that hosts small concerts some weekends. edit
Universidad Central de Venezuela. was designated a World Heritage Site by the UN in 2000. Designed by Venezuela's most famous architect, Carlos Raul Villanueva, the university campus, known as the Ciudad Universitaria is a sprawling complex considered a masterpiece of 1950s and 1960s architecture blended in with art. A stroll around the grounds, keeping an eye open for modern art works by artists such as Fernand Leger. Metro Ciudad Universitaria. edit
Jardin Botanico, located next to the Central University. is a well-kept garden with an impressive array of tropical plants and trees. Metro Ciudad Universitaria or Plaza Venezuela.. edit
Parque del Este, (located near the “Parque del Este” metro stop). This expansive park stretches on and holds many unexpected treats including a planetarium, a small zoo, and a cafe that is occasionally open to serve you a cafe con leche while you watch the turtles in a pond edit
Centro de Arte La Estancia, Avenida Francisco de Miranda,, ☎ +58 212 507 8815, [3]. 9:30a-4p Tu-F, 10a-4p Sa-Su. An art gallery situated in the middle of the lush and manicured gardens. Rotating exhibits by a variety of artists are shown. edit
El Hatillo, (past la Trinidad in the SE of the city). A beautiful neighborhood still styled in traditional colonial fashion that is home to many shops, bars, and restaurants and is frequented by the middle class of Caracas. A great place to stroll around in the afternoon (safe to walk around) and grab lunch, as it is to return for the nightlife. Requires a car to arrive as no public transportation comes to this area. edit
Bulevar de Sabana Grande, (in the center of the city near the Sabana Grande metro stop). One of the city's most famous shopping avenues, a charming cobblestone street with countless outdoor and indoor shopping establishments as well as hotels and restaurants. Also a great spot for relaxing and people-watching; on any given day you can observe people bartering at shops, playing chess, or even dancing around dressed like Disney characters. edit
Cuartel de la Montaña or 4F, on top of Barrio 23 Enero. Hugo Chavez's mausoleum is at the army barracks where Chavez's socialism was incubated. Although in a barrio, there's a heavy army presence which makes it a safe visit. Entry includes a free guided tour of the mausoleum and Chavez's belongings. There's a change of guards every 2 hours starting at 10am, with the last change at 4pm. At 4.25pm (time of his death) everyday, a cannon is fired in front. To get there, one can take the free Metrobus or private buses at Capitolio. edit
Panteon Nacional, at the end of Avenida Panteon. A modern building fused with an old church. Houses the remains of Simon Bolivar and other national heroes. There's a change of guards every 2 hours. edit

Blending Colonial Charm with Indigenous Culture in Salta
I spent about a week exploring NW Argentina. The region is known for its agricultural and livestock products, tobacco growth and its verdant valleys that juxtapose fantastic red rock canyons and cacti. Salta is one of the largest cities in the area and was my base of exploration from Apr 16-20 before I broke north to Jujuy and, ultimately, to cross the border into Bolivia.
Salta is a city of approxiamately 500,000 people and sits in the heart of the Lerma Valley, which is where the agricultural products of the region are grown. 80% of the tobacco production in Argentina occurs in this area. Despite legistlation that bans smoking in public places, many of the lawmakers are also tobacco landowners and thus it is hard-pressed to find an internet cafe, restaurant or bar where there is not someone puffing plumes of smoke into your face.
The city and region figure prominently in the history of Argentina under Spanish rule and in its most important War of Independence in 1810. Lermes, the namesake for the valley, was a conquistador who established the city on April 16, 1582 as a key military and trading outpost between the interior and the sea via caravan routes through Peru. Interestingly, April 16 is still celebrated as a day of great celebration and reverence (I was in Salta during these celebrations) despite the day marking the founding of the city by a Spanish conquistador. General Guemes, honored with a massive statue in town, and under the command of General San Martin (the liberator of Chile and Argentina, while Simon Bolivar was the main liberator of Venezuela, Peru, Colombia and Bolivia), defended the city against Spanish onslaught and this was ultimately the first victory in the War of Independence. Unfortunately, the savage struggle against the Spanish completely bankrupted the city and its resurgence did not occur until, ironically, the waves of European immigration years later.
The heart of the city is absolutely beautiful. With people that are less European looking than those in BA and Mendoza, and a charming colonial center that is marked by cobblestone streets, uniform balconied two-level buildings, wide and verdant plazas with fountains, churches and a town hall (cabildo) that all speak of the height of colonial opulence while hiding the accompanying disgusting violence and imperialism, the center of the city is very reminiscent of Cuzco and, I would soon discover, Potosi. The heart of the old city is centered around the large Plaza 9 de Julio, which is surrounded by the massive Catedral, Cabildo and other colonial-era buildings. Like spokes from the main plaza, run two shopping peatonals (pedestrian-only zones) and a host of restaurants, bars, etc. Salta is an ideal base to set out exploring the region.
A short walk from the main plaza is Avenida Bacarce, which is THE spot for all things nightlife. I joined a French couple, Joel and Charlotte, that I met on one of my tours for dinner in this neighborhood. Massive grills full of meat fill the air with wonderful aromas from the parillas while accompanied by the sounds emanating from the folkloric music played at the penas. Side-by-side with these cultural establishments are the swankest bars and nightclubs Salta has to offer. The street is loaded with all of these joints on both sides for at least four blocks, giving the air of landing in a Spanish New Orleans. However, rather than seeing a bunch of youngsters ...
