This 8 day tour focuses on UNESCO World Heritage Sites and visits the following destinations:

Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas: (by UNESCO) The Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas, built to the design of the architect Carlos Raul Villanueva between 1940 and 1960, is an outstanding example of the Modern Movement in architecture. The university campus integrates the large number of buildings and functions into a clearly articulated ensemble, including masterpieces of modern architecture and visual arts such as the Aula Magna with the “Clouds” of Alexander Calder, the Olympic Stadium, and the Covered Plaza.

Canaima National Park: (by UNESCO) Canaima National Park is spread over 3 million ha in south-eastern Venezuela along the border between Guyana and Brazil. roughly 65% of the park is covered by table mountain (tepui) formations. The tepuis constitute a unique biogeological entity and are of great geological interest. The sheer cliffs and waterfalls, including the world’s highest (1000m), form a spectacular landscape.

Coro: (by UNESCO) With its earthen constructions unique to the Caribbean, Coro is the only surviving example of a rich fusion of local traditions with Spanish Mudejar and Dutch architectural techniques. One of the first colonial towns (founded in 1527), it has some 602 historic buildings.
