Caracas Tours
Caracas City Tour
This 6-7 hour tour begins with a brief visit to the city center, exploring landmarks such as Simón Bolívar’s birthplace, Bolívar Square, Caracas Cathedral, the Municipal Council, and the National Pantheon. This impressive building, where the remains of Simón Bolívar rest, was constructed in 1870 and restored in 2013.
We’ll also admire the vibrant street art on Caracas’ murals, which depict episodes of Venezuelan history and identity. In some areas, you can still spot murals showcasing socialist and communist political propaganda. This walking tour offers an in-depth perspective on Caracas, blending its history with an understanding of contemporary Venezuelan life.
We’ll visit San Agustín, a well-known neighborhood in Caracas. Once considered one of the city’s most dangerous areas, it is now undergoing a cultural renaissance, with its streets increasingly filled with art, music, sports, and vibrant murals. At the top of San Agustín, we’ll enjoy spectacular views of Caracas before descending through its narrow, steep streets. Along the way, we’ll observe how residents live in this fascinating environment of improvised engineering and seemingly impossible architecture.
The tour concludes with a visit to the world’s largest dormitory for blue-and-yellow macaws. Around 400 birds gather here every evening after flying across the city, creating an unforgettable sight as they prepare to rest.
This walking tour covers approximately 9-10 kilometers, so we recommend traveling light and wearing comfortable shoes.

San Agustin
San Agustin
This 2 hours experience takes us to explore one of the most interesting neighborhoods in Caracas, which involves culture every day in every space through murals, theater, and music. The journey takes us to the upper part of San Agustin on a cable car, and from there, we descend on foot through its very photogenic alleys filled with the realities of the families living there. We are impressed by the daring engineering of houses that do not explain how they stand on their own and by the many friendly people we encounter along the way.
We will conclude this walk with some drinks at a local bar while watching children play basketball surrounded by colorful murals enriched with stories.
Caracas Cable Car
The cable car system extends from the Mariperez station at the northern edge of the city to the summit of Waraira Repano mountain. The 3.4km journey typically takes between 12 and 15 minutes. At the summit, you’ll discover amenities such as a skating rink, rock-climbing wall, children’s playground, souvenir shops, a few snack stands, and the dormant 14-story Hotel Humboldt. On clear days, you can enjoy fabulous views of both Caracas and the coastal mountains leading to the Caribbean Sea. It’s advisable to bring a light sweater or windbreaker, as it can get chilly at the top.
This is a 1-2 hour activity.
