10 Museums in Caracas That You Shouldn't Miss
Santiago de Leon de Caracas, Venezuela's capital, sits in Cerro Avila Valley, where mountain ranges soar 8000 feet from the Caribbean. Once inhabited by Toromaimo Indians, the city was founded by the Spanish in 1567. Chacao is the see-and-be-seen place to eat, drink and socialize, but restaurant destination Las Mercedes is one of the few places safe to walk around. Iglesia de San Francisco is a beautiful example of colonial architecture. Mountainous Parque Nacional El Avila teems with tempting trails.

Reviewed By AEC1504 - Caracas, Venezuela
It is a great place to visit on weekends, sitting in the former facilities of a coffee plantation, it offers places to eat, read, sip a hot chocolate, or get some cocoa (enter in the chocolate store and having a chocolate is a great experience just for the aroma), in Al Fresco try the chicken curry, and the quinoa salad with raisins... and then you can sit in the finely cared grass looking towards the old house and spend the rest of the afternoon there
