A 3-day primer on the real Caracas behind the headlines. Sleep in Las Mercedes, walk Altamira at golden hour, hike Sabas Nieves on Waraira Repano for a sunrise above the city, eat your way through Chacao's areperas and the Mercado de Quinta Crespo, then close with the UNESCO-listed Ciudad Universitaria and the colonial streets of El Hatillo. The pace is deliberately easy — pick one neighborhood per day, and let the calle (and the cachapas) do the rest. Designed for first-time visitors who want one full city before pushing on to the islands or the Andes.
Best months: Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Nov.
