What to do and see in Caracas, Capital Region: The Best Sights & Landmarks

November 12, 2021 Lashaunda Abraham

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.

Panteon Nacional

The remains of celebrated Venezuelans, including Simon Bolivar, are housed inside this building, whose walls and ceilings display the most famous Venezuelan independence battle scenes.

Reviewed By JaroslavNecas - Brno, Czech Republic

Building seems to be repaired for a short time, it looks well from the front but a bit weird from different sides. Exhibition is dedicated to national heroes who fought for independence during 19th century. Main part is big hall with excavated remains of Simon Bolívar guarded by 4 honor guards.
