Caracas can be a chaotic concrete jungle, but thanks to the vision of several architects and nature lovers throughout its history, the city has managed to take advantage of the geography around to preserve enough green to balance the urban stress.
Surrounded by Cerro El 脕vila, Caracas is home of a great variety of flora and fauna. The seasonal blooming of the apamates (savannah oak) are a sight to see.
These ones are located around Plaza Venezuela, one of the most popular 谩reas of the city.
Even though the traffic around the 谩rea is crazy most of the time, there are always people walking around or participating of different activities organized in this venue.
The square becomes some sort of island where nostalgic urban castaways can shop, watch shows, eat, read or relax.
This is the best time of the year to see these trees blooming. In the background, you can see the Central Park Towers (the tallest buildings in the city).
Traffic aside, I like this part of the city. It has spaces for children and families to relax and enjoy the city from a confortable standpoint.
This section here honors one of the most illustrous Venezuelans (later nationalized Chilean).
Andr茅s Bello!
The monument could benefit from more flowers or decorative bushes, but still it is a Nice place to pause and reflect.
