Top Day Trips- Caracas, Venezuela’s picturesque capital city, is nestled in a valley at the foot of Mount Avila. The mountain is great for hiking, while the cosmopolitan city below offers endless options for upscale dining, high-end shopping and glitzy nightlife that can be more difficult to find in Valencia.
- Contrary to the rest of the country’s tropical climate, Los Medanos de Coro is like a mini Sahara desert near the city of Coros. Golden sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see, having been shifted inland by marine currents and winds. While you’re there, drop by Coros to catch a glimpse of its colorful colonial architecture, which has Spanish, Caribbean and Dutch influences.
