  3. Centro Comercial El Recreo

    To fully appreciate the national love affair with shopping, you need only visit one of Caracas' huge shopping malls.

Not only do caraqueños shop in malls, they also eat, get entertained, experience nightlife and even lodge there, effectively creating an idealized facsimile of city life in these temples of consumerism.
