The Liberator

Advantages: Gorgeous gardens, interesting rooms
Disadvantages: Displays only in English inside

The Casa Museo Quinta de Bolivar is an interesting place, and not just for its mouthful of a name. It’s a building that has had a chequered past, housing everything from a brewery to a hospital to a girls’ school, but is known (and named) for the fact tha ...

The house of Simon Bolivar

Advantages: Beautiful house with gardens, Great location
Disadvantages: cant think of any at the moment
