Lonely Planet review for Parque del Este

Any given Sunday, there's plenty of activity within the extensive Parque del Este, from children playing hide-and-seek among the rock gardens, to soccer games, religious groups, martial arts classes and a profusion of lycra-clad bodies jogging while chatting into cell phones. Situated on a portion of a former coffee plantation, the 82-hectare park 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.

    You have to go there if you are visiting Caracas

    masterlee0423 recommends this,

    In Parque del Este you can here many birds. You can see lots of parrots fly through the trees. If you go to the sport area in the evening you can watch the locals playing socer, basketball and volleyball. Maybe you can play with them if you want. So take sport clothes with you ;-) you can also join the Public Aerobic right at the entrance (about 6pm)
    I really recommend to go there.
