Samuel: Thank you Luisana for telling us a bit about Mérida, but now it's my turn to share my
experience from the most well-known place in Venezuela... Caracas.
Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, is a fascinating and dynamic city located in a mountainous valley.
Surrounded by imposing mountains of the Coastal Range, it offers a picturesque and varied
landscape. With its tropical high altitude climate, warm temperatures and marked rainy seasons,
Caracas enjoys a pleasant climate all year round. The city's architecture combines well-preserved
colonial styles in the historic center with modern skyscrapers and contemporary buildings in other
areas. Caracas is known for its vibrant cultural scene, which includes a wide range of museums,
theaters, art galleries and cultural spaces. The cultural diversity of the population is reflected in its
gastronomy, which offers a mix of typical Venezuelan and international dishes. However, the city
also faces urban challenges such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution and citizen insecurity.
Despite these challenges, Caracas remains a unique and captivating place, where history, culture
and modernity intertwine in a vibrant and diverse urban landscape.

José: I don't know why I was expecting to say that Caracas is Caracas and the rest is just mountains
and snakes...
Anyway, I'll tell you a bit about Maracaibo, the second largest city in Venezuela, known as the "Land
of the Beloved Sun." It stands out for its imposing bridge over Lake Maracaibo, its historic center with
architectural gems like the Basilica of Our Lady of Chiquinquirá, and its rich colonial heritage. Tourists
can enjoy boat rides on Lake Maracaibo, visit the Juan Manuel Ciénagas National Park, and taste the
delicious Zulian cuisine. It is a destination that combines history, culture, and natural beauty in
Venezuela.
Finally, thanks to us Zulia people, Venezuela is more fun and incredible.
