Hotel Terepaima, Caracas

Advantages: In a nice resort, quietish area, basic but clean and comfortable.

However, if you are seeking to touch base with Latin American culture, you should avoid the capital completely. The city has grown hugely in what would have been a delightful position, high in a valley and enjoys a good all year round climate, but it's heavily congested, highly polluted and in recent years extremely dangerous.
