Question

Curacao and Aruba? Is there a ferry that can take me from either Aruba or Curacao to Barranquilla or Cartagena , Colombia? What are the Hotel price range in Caracas? SHould I book here or over there?

Answer 1

Right now there are a lot of student protests going on so be careful.

The only ferry's go to the island of margarita and you have to take them at the Guaira (state of Vargas) or in puerto la Cruz (state of Anzuategui) not in Caracas.

In Caracas you should go to the Museo de Bellas Artes, the museo de arte contemporáneo, the Teresa Carreño Theater and the Ataneo (all these are close by).

La plaza Bolivar at the center of Caracas (be careful it's not a safe place for tourists) this is near the el museo Sacro and the house of Simón Bolívar.

The Universidad Central de Venezuela which is patrimony by UNESCO

La Quinta Anauco in San Bernardino this is another area that isn't safe.

You should walk through the Avenida Fransisco de Miranda in Chacao.

Ávila Mágica: Here take a ride in the "telesférico" up to the top of the Ávila Mountain where there is the best view of the city and of the sea. Here go can take a tour of the Hotel Humbolt.
