A weekend break

A good short break is not improvised: you decide how much time there is, how to get around and what to leave out. These are the plans sorted by what really shapes the trip — the time you have and the transport.

A Venezuelan landscape

Short breaks in Venezuela

From Caracas: El Ávila can be climbed in a day, Colonia Tovar is little more than an hour away, and the beaches of Choroní, across Henri Pittier, are the classic weekend. In the east, Mochima combines road and boat; in Falcón, Chichiriviche gives access to the Morrocoy cays.

Day trips

Outings that fit into one day: the Caracas cable car, Cubiro in the hills of Lara, or the Médanos de Coro from the city of Coro.

Outside Venezuela

Beach and city breaks elsewhere: Cancún on the Mexican Caribbean, California and Arizona for a road trip, and Frigiliana if the plan is a white Andalusian village.
