Petare lies at the eastern end of Caracas and is one of the largest informal settlements in Latin America, climbing the hillsides above the valley. At its centre is a preserved colonial core that predates the city's expansion around it.
The small colonial old town with its church and square is the historic heart and is a striking contrast with the hillsides around it. The rest of the district is residential and is not a visitor area, and Caracas's museums and the Ávila mountain lie west and north.
A metro line terminates here and connects into central Caracas. Local advice on which areas to visit and when is genuinely important, and travelling with someone who knows the district is strongly recommended.
The valley's altitude keeps temperatures pleasant year-round. The wetter months fall in the middle and later part of the year, and the drier early months are the most settled.
Venezuela uses the VES, calling code +58.
Venezuela uses the bolívar, with foreign currency circulating widely, and Spanish is the language. Manner is warm and direct, and it is worth confirming locally which payment methods are working.
