Caracas, officially Santiago de León de Caracas, is the capital and largest city of Venezuela; the true downtown or historic city center, is known as "el centro". Its history is revealed in its buildings. Most of the historic monuments have struggle to survive the modernization of the city.
At the time of its founding, more than four hundred years ago, the valley of Caracas was populated by indigenous peoples. Francisco Fajardo, the son of a Spanish captain and a Guaiqueri cacica, attempted to establish a plantation in the valley in 1562 after founding a series of coastal towns. Fajardo's settlement did not last long. It was destroyed by natives of the region led by Terepaima and Guaicaipuro. This was the last rebellion on the part of the natives. On 25 July 1567, Captain Diego de Losada laid the foundations of the city of Santiago de León de Caracas.
During the 17th century, the coast of Venezuela was frequently raided by pirates. With the coastal mountains as a barrier, Caracas was relatively immune to such attacks – one of the reasons it became the principal city of the region. However, in the 1680s, buccaneers crossed the mountains through a little-used pass while the town's defenders were guarding the more often-used one, and, encountering little resistance, sacked and set fire to the town.
The cultivation of cocoa under the Compañía Guipuzcoana de Caracas stimulated the development of the city, which in 1777 became the capital of the Captaincy General of Venezuela.
An attempt at revolution to gain independence organized by José María España and Manuel Gual was put down on 13 July 1797. But the ideas of the French Revolution and the American Wars of Independence inspired the people, and on 5 July 1811, a Declaration of Independence was signed in Caracas. This city was also the birthplace of two of Latin America's most important figures of the Venezuelan War of Independence: Francisco de Miranda and "El Libertador" Simón Bolívar. An earthquake destroyed Caracas on 26 March 1812, which was portrayed by authorities as a divine punishment for the rebellion against the Spanish Crown. The war continued until 24 June 1821, when Bolívar gained a decisive victory over the royalists at the Battle of Carabobo.
As the economy of oil-rich Venezuela grew steadily during the first part of the 20th century, Caracas became one of Latin America's economic centers, and is also known as the preferred travel hub between Europe and South America. During the 1950s, Caracas began an intensive modernization program which continued throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. The Universidad Central de Venezuela, designed by modernist architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva and now a UNESCO monument, was built. New working- and middle-class residential districts sprouted in the valley, extending the urban area towards the east and southeast. Joining El Silencio, also designed by Villanueva, were several workers' housing districts, 23 de Enero and Simon Rodriguez. Middle class developments include Bello Monte, Los Palos Grandes, Chuao, and El Cafetal. On 17 October 2004, one of the Parque Central towers caught fire. The dramatic change in the economic structure of the country, which went from being primarily agricultural to dependent on oil production, stimulated the fast development of Caracas, and made it a magnet for people in rural communities who migrated to the capital city in an unplanned fashion searching for greater economic opportunity. This migration created the barrio (slum) belt of the valley of Caracas.

HISTORIC INFORMATION
This building belonged from 1637 to 1874 to La Concepcion Nuns monastery, and from 19 April 1810 was the place of the first congress. The southern part is the present place of the National Assembly, and the northern part was formerly the Elliptic room, Triptic room and Shields room.
Federal Capitol
Plaza Bolivar is the focus of the old town with the monument to El Libertador, Simon Bolívar, at its heart. Modern high-rise buildings have overpowered much of the colonial flavor of Caracas' founding neighborhood.
Plaza Bolivar de Caracas

Caracas Cathedral
Skyscrapers may loom overhead, but there is more than a hint of original colonial flavor in this neatly proportioned reconstruction of the house where Simón Bolívar was born on 24 July 1783. The museum's exhibits include period weapons, banners and uniforms. Much of the original colonial interior has been replaced by monumental paintings of battle scenes.
Simón Bolívar Birthplace House

CARACAS´S SLUM & METRO CABLE
(CABLE CAR ABOVE A SLUM)
During the 60's , due to the economic wealth that oil brought to Caracas, an immigration of rural population, looking for better jobs, occurred. Many people without affordable housing end up in one of the slums in the surrounding hills, while the "formal city of Caracas" remained at its valley. Now days, the population remained at the hills, and the new generation that some time ago where raised there, are raising their new families in the same place, but in an upper floor of the house.
Fast occupation of the "informal space" and political lack of interest are the cause of an urban space, designed, planned and managed by the same settlers, without any help of the government or engineer experts. A complicated urban pattern and high densities spaces make every day more difficult to improve the accessibility (for cars, police, fire fighters...), service systems (fresh water and sewer systems) and the creation of public spaces (schools, squares, hospitals...).
For foreign people from developed country, the image of a slum may appear catastrophic and shocking, but you have to remember, medieval cities may look like this 500 years ago (with the use of different materials), or London may smell like this only 200 years ago. Every city has its own process, and Latin America's cities have just begun theirs only 100 years ago.
San Agustin Offers us a unique opportunity for tourism, it combine the real essence of a slum, located in Caracas, plus a Cable Car that aloud us to go to the top of the place, walk around and get fast access back to the formal city. You will get to see a slum from abobe, to understand that it was built as a medieval city, but in a modern era. Then, you will walk it, know that it has a unique history, culture and reallity.
Taxi driver will pick you up at your hotel, park at a parking lot in Altamira area, then walk with you to the subway station. Once at the subway station, it connects directly to the cable car system. Went the cable car reaches the top of the slum, you will meet some of the community's leaders that will wait for you (and the driver) on a cable car station. From there, you will walk into the slum and get inside of the poor village, walk between normal people that live there, some of them live in misery, but most of them enjoy a working place at the "formal city", and refuses to go to another place or cities because, they will not longer keep their jobs. As you walk, you will understand that San Agustin has its own history and identity. You will stop for refreshments (bottle water or sodas) and then go back to the cable car and subway system. Once in Altamira station, you will walk back to the parking lot and the the driver will leave you at your hotel.

PANTEÓN NACIONAL &
MUSEO SACRO DE CARACAS

The interior is known for its detailed frescoes and the Arco de Triunfo de Carabobo, an arch commemorating the pivotal victory in the Venezuelan War of Independence. Visitors can experience the history and reverence of a nation within its hallowed halls. Along the whole of the side walls, there are monuments dedicated to the First Republic, José Gregorio Monagas, Andrés Bello, José Antonio Páez, Rafael Urdaneta and José María Vargas and other important Venezuelan people. Under the pavement, in the two side caissons the remains of famous and illustrious Venezuelans are placed, labeled by tablets.
Architectural Features and Art
The Panteón Nacional is not only a mausoleum for Venezuela's notable historical figures but also an architectural marvel worth exploring. Its façade, characterized by a grand portico crowned with a triangular pediment, echoes the designs of ancient Greek temples, offering visitors a glimpse into the neoclassical tastes of the period. Inside, the space is adorned with an array of impressive murals painted by Tito Salas, depicting scenes from Venezuela's rich history.

Ezequiel Zamora Park also known as Parque El Calvario or El Calvario is a public space of Caracas, situated downtown of the city, at the West of the Redevelopment of El Silencio. The park was built during the government of Antonio Guzmán Blanco, and is part of the modernization process of the city that took place during the last quarter of the 19th century. This process begins with the lifting of the aqueduct that would supply water to the city of Caracas, conducted from the Macarao river to the pond located on El Calvario hill, for water storage.
In this place, the construction of the Guzmán Blanco promenade begins, an urban park with a European style in order to counteract the arid conditions of the hill. French gardens were laid out for its construction, old access roads were expanded, new roads were built, sidewalks were paved and stone walls were erected in order to consolidate the land.
It has an area of 17 hectares that occupy green areas, landscaping, monuments and squares. There are busts and statues of Christopher Columbus, Diego de Losada, José Francisco Bermúdez, Simón Rodríguez, Teresa Carreno, Simón Bolívar, Agustín Codazzi, among others.

Its content is presented in 8 thematic areas:
Archeology. This collection represents, in some way, the cultural diversity of the past populations of Venezuela and other nations, such as Peru, Colombia, Denmark, among others. Its origin dates back more than a century, when the old National Museum was founded in 1871.
Ethnography. Without fear of being wrong, we can consider it as the oldest collection of ethnography in Venezuela. Its official beginning dates back to 1875, with the first descriptions of Gustavo Adolfo Ernst and even more, we find some background, in the "ethnographic trends" of the Society of Physical and Natural Sciences of Caracas. As for the objects or pieces of African or Afro-descendant origin, it was started in the year of 1954, regarding the donation of 350 pieces of the Belgian Congo made by King Leopold III of Belgium. Apparently belonging to Her Majesty's once personal collection.
Herpetology. This collection is made up of more than 1,400 amphibians (toads and frogs) and more than 9,500 reptiles (alligators, lizards, snakes, turtles and morrocoyes) from various regions of the country.
Ichthyology. This collection constitutes around 1800 freshwater and marine fish, mainly from the states of Amazonas, Guárico and Miranda.
Arthropods and Molluscs. The collection is made up of 14,782 specimens and is divided into four major sub-collections: the arthropods that includes insects (10,107 specimens including butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies, beetles, among others), arachnids (1,470 specimens, distributed in spiders, scorpions, opilions, ticks, and others) and myriapods (184 between centipedes and congo gorges); and the group of mollusks, with more than 3,000 copies.
Ornithology. 19 of the 20 existing orders in Venezuela are represented in the collection; as well as 268 genera of the 589 reported and approximately 600 species of the 1311 recorded in "A Guide for the Birds of Venezuela" by William H. Phelps Jr and Meyer de Schauense. Among some of the important specimens we have the species classified as "threatened with extinction": the stone-crested paují (Pauxi pauxi) and the Marguerite parrot (Amazona barbadensis); as well as the green macaw (Ara militaris), whose population is at risk.
Paleontology. The collection of fossil vertebrates (mostly mammals, reptiles and fish) has a volume of approximately eight thousand fossils. In some cases these are complete bones and diagnostic material; where the presence of the holotypes of several extinct species is highlighted. As for fossil invertebrates, mainly molluscs, their number does not exceed four thousand; finding, for example, from complete specimens to fragments and internal molds of the shell.
Mammalogy. This collection is made up of almost 3,000 samples of skins, skulls and viscera from different locations in the country and some from donations from abroad. Of the 46 families reported for Venezuela, 32 are represented
