El Ávila National Park
Celebrating the natural and organic beauty of Venezuela is easy with a visit to El Ávila National Park.

Over 100 species of butterflies and 500 species of birds call this park their home, including many you will never find anywhere else in the world.
Galipán
For a taste of traditional, rural life in Venezuela, the sleepy village of Galipán does not disappoint. This small mountain village is the perfect antidote to the busy urban feel of the capital city Caracas yet lies just 15km away. Galipán is popular with tourists wanting to get a feel for real Venezuelan life and welcomes visitors from the city regularly. There is a beautiful church to admire and a central plaza where you’ll find a local restaurant and a chance to try traditional Venezuelan delicacies. If you’re very lucky, you may visit on market day and have the chance to buy handicrafts and other goods in the plaza too.
Museo Bolivariano & Casa Natal
The second president of Venezuela, Simón Bolívar, is renowned for his contribution to the country’s history and its freedom. The museum exploring his life is housed in a classic colonial house in the historic quarter of Caracas. Known as one of the most famed revolutionaries of South America, the museum is a chance to get better insight into Bolívar’s life and his importance to the Venezuelan people. The Casa Natal (birthplace) of Bolívar has been reconstructed in the period style and is home to a vast array of Venezuelan artworks depicting the War of Independence and Bolívar himself.
Parque Dunas
For a bit of fun and a relaxing day out, nothing beats a water park. The tropical sun beats down every day in Venezuela so cooling off is a must. Dunas Water Park combines the fun of water slides with a relaxing beach, a lazy river and a traditional theme park with attractions for visitors of all ages. Dunas Water Park has something to keep everyone entertained and even has a skating rink for the whole family to enjoy. Read More…
