Situated on a portion of a former coffee plantation, the 82-hectare Parque Generalismo Francisco de Miranda , formerly known and still referred to by caraqueños as Parque del Este, is the largest in Caracas, and a stroll through its expanses is a botanical odyssey, with many plants and trees labeled. You can visit the snake house, aviary and cactus garden, and on weekends enjoy astral displays in the Planetario Humboldt .
