The essentials

  • Spring all year

    Altitude tempers the tropics: highs of 27 to 29 °C and lows of 17 to 21 °C, month after month.

  • A mountain backdrop

    A 2,765 m mountain stands between the city and the sea, and a cable car from 1955 lifts you past 2,000 m in about 15 minutes.

  • Get around by Metro

    Caracas has had a Metro since 1983, and Maiquetía international airport is about 21 km from downtown.

  • What it costs

    Half of the houses for sale are listed between US$160,000 and US$390,000.
