General Information about Caracas, Venezuela, for Meeting Planners
Caracas is Venezuela’s capital and its pride and joy, an attractive city for a conference or convention. It’s bordered by the western point of enormous El Avila National Park, which separates Caracas from the beaches and water of the Caribbean Sea. This geographical location puts the city square in the tropical savanna zone, which means it has mostly mild temperatures, many electrical storms and, once in a while, some cyclones. Some six million people live in the urbanized regions of the Distrito Capital, with many more residents in the satellite cities that surround it.

You’ll find an outstanding Mediterranean and European menu here, all chef-prepared and served to perfection in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Another extremely popular restaurant in the city is simply called Alto. Make reservations for this place, which only serves dinner and stays open late.

Caracas Attractions for Conference Delegates
During your conference vacation time in Caracas, it’s a must to set aside a day to visit Hacienda Floresta, a park from the 17th century, which was once a formidable coffee plantation. This is a popular tourist destination for both young and old, offering a museum, gardens, and fun, free activities such as classes and concerts. Another favorite visiting spot is the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, not to be missed. You’ll see work by Miro, Matisse and Picasso, among many others. Caracas also has a great children’s museum, Museo de los Ninos, in case you brought some tykes with you.
