3. Campamento Canaima – All Inclusive: Total adventure mode—book canopy tours, river trips, or Angel Falls excursions straight from here.
4. El Museo Histórico Militar de Caracas (La Planicie, Calle Real de, Calle Museo Militar): History buffs will love this epic fort museum packed with Venezuelan war relics and stories. Don’t miss the view from the ramparts!
5. Plaza 4F (G33C+WVQ, Caracas): Open 24/7, this city plaza is low-key but loaded with political and cultural energy—a local hangout with a story behind every corner.

Travel Hacks:
Hop between national parks and city sights using local cabs or shared vans—super affordable. Always confirm opening hours (parks start early!), and carry cash for rural spots—ATM access can be sketchy. Check weather before visiting Canaima: rainy season means more epic waterfalls but muddier hikes!

Tip: Leveraging Venezuela’s rich parques nacionales makes for wild hiking and jaw-dropping scenery—bring a zoom lens and good walking shoes!
