We will spend our time in the busy city of Caracas and the small town of La Sabana. It is very important to get a feel from the big city as well as small town living as this is the Venezuelan life from two view points. In Caracas, we will ride the very popular metro, visit cultural centers and museums. In La Sabana, (3 hours outside of Caracas) the most anticipated annual festival “San Juan” will take place. We will speak to cultural leaders and elders who maintain the historical history of the people as well as participate in dance and music workshops. We will also visit local cooperatives supported by the government that provide the main source of income for the town. Finally, get ready to dance and sing because the festival includes everyone in sight!
