Los Caobos Park

Los Caobos Park is a large public green space near the art museums of Caracas, with century-old mahogany trees that shade the entire area. The layout combines open grassy sections with wooded zones and includes a loop path for jogging and walking.

The park was founded in 1924 to honor the centennial of an important military battle. The name Los Caobos was officially adopted in 1937, reflecting the mahogany trees that characterize the area.

The Venezuela Fountain displays five large statues representing different landscapes of the country: El Avila, The Andes, The Plains, The Orinoco, and The Caribbean. These sculptures serve as gathering points where visitors naturally pause and rest.

The area is easiest to reach from two nearby metro stations, and parking is available in the immediate vicinity. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are more pleasant and crowds are lighter.

Along the jogging loop, there are fitness stations with simple equipment like bars and weights available for free use. These installations allow visitors to stop briefly during their walks and perform light exercise routines.
