Our City Lungs — 2 years ago
Caracas is a big Valley, one of the biggest mountain around it it´s a National Park Called “El Avila”, it´s huge, it has a Teleferico which take you for around US$10 to the top of the mountain, or you can go hiking, even on an SUV.
From the top you´ll get to see the whole City, an by turning around you´ll see the coast (La Guaira).
This National Park protects our city from bad weather coming from the caribean, it also helps in purifing our air, but it also suffer a lot. People are builing more each year houses close to it, and the dry season it sometimes very tuff on our mountain.
Going back to the Teleferico story, once up there you can do many things, besides from admiring the view, you can eat in the restaurants, visit an very old Hotel Called Humboldt, Ice saket in a small but fun ring, take amazing pics..
In the day time nice and warm, but at night you better take a sweater with you it get chilly, very romantic place to eat fondue and maybe drink a bottle of wine.
Any way… i´ll include some pics next time.
