32 Best Sights in Venezuela

The stained-glass windows of the Santuario de la Virgen del Valle, a twin-towered chapel on the main plaza, are worth a visit. A small museum (open most afternoons) contains the thousands of tokens, jewelry, and holy medals left by supplicants. Every September 8th, thousands congregate in front of the chapel for the Festividad de la Virgen del Valle.

St. Honoré is near the fabulous store Casa Curuba and just across the street from rival café Arabica. This is less hip than Arabica, but just as well loved and scrumptious. Grab a cachito de jamón (a ham-stuffed croissant) and enjoy the friendly hubbub on the outdoor patio. These same owners opened up a bakery called Tisserie in New York City, at the northwest corner of Union Square.
