A propriedade — Edificio Don Antonio
The Edificio Don Antonio is a no-frills three-star in central Guanare, with a faded colonial facade and a lobby that smells faintly of floor polish and coffee from the adjoining café. Its USP is location: a five-minute walk from the Basilica of Our Lady of Coromoto and the main plaza, making it ideal for pilgrims and budget travellers who need a clean bed and air conditioning rather than polish. The vibe is workaday Venezuelan efficiency—linoleum floors, a receptionist watching a small TV, and a sense that this place has seen decades of travellers pass through without fuss.
Crónicas de Guanare
Guanare was founded in 1591 by Spanish conquistador Juan Fernández de León as the capital of the Portuguesa Province, before the state capital moved to Acarigua. Its architecture is a patchwork of colonial churches and mid-20th-century concrete blocks, with the 20th-century Basilica of Our Lady of Coromoto dominating the skyline as a pilgrimage magnet. The city’s identity today is deeply tied to the Coromoto devotion—Venezuela’s patron saint—and its annual fiestas in September draw thousands. Guanare also serves as a commercial hub for the surrounding plains (llanos), with cattle and agriculture shaping the local culture.

Guia completo de Guanare →Melhores meses
December to February: dry season with lower humidity, clear skies, and temperatures around 25-30°C, plus manageable crowds as pilgrim numbers drop after September’s peak. March is also good if you avoid Easter week.
Peak / Festival Surge
September (Coromoto Festival, 8-11 September) is the busiest month, with up to 2 million pilgrims descending on Guanare. Hotel prices at Edificio Don Antonio can double or triple, and rooms book out months in advance. The festival includes processions, masses, and street fairs.
Orçamento da temporada
April and May offer milder weather (still damp but less intense than June-August rains) and lower rates—often 30-50% off peak prices. Fewer tourists mean quieter streets and easier access to the basilica.
Tempo e embalagem
Guanare sits in the llanos with a tropical wet-dry climate; June falls in the rainy season, so expect afternoon downpours and high humidity (70-80%). Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and quick-dry shoes, plus a small umbrella—you’ll use it daily.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Edificio Don Antonio, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a first-floor room facing the inner courtyard (patio interior) to minimise street noise and avoid the two-step entrance. The first floor is quieter than the ground floor but still accessible via stairs—there is no lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing Calle 7—this main road in Guanare carries traffic and occasional honking, especially during the day. Ground-floor rooms are also directly behind the entrance steps, so noise from guests coming and going is constant.
Best views
The best view is from a first-floor room overlooking the inner courtyard—it's private, green, and shielded from street activity. Front-facing rooms on the first floor have a partial view of Calle 7 and the colonial-style buildings opposite, but are noisier.
Quietest floors
First floor only (second floor is quieter in theory, but stairs are steep and there's no lift—first floor is the practical quiet option).
🔊 Noise notes
The main noise source is traffic on Calle 7 (cars, motorbikes, occasional buses). Barrio La Concordia is a residential-commercial area, so during the day there's street vendor activity and pedestrian chatter. At night it's generally quiet except for the occasional passing car. No lift means stairwell noise from other guests is noticeable.
Insider tips
1. Arrive early to claim one of the 8 free on-site parking spots—otherwise you'll pay 500 VES/day at the public car park 2 blocks away. 2. If you have heavy luggage, request a ground-floor room facing the courtyard to avoid stairs; if you prioritise quiet, take the first floor and ask for help with bags.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Dinheiro e moeda
Get a travel card →Venezuelan Bolívar, VES
Use local exchange houses or banks; the official rate is poor at airports and hotels—parallel market rates are better but illegal, so stick to official channels.
Cards are rarely accepted outside large supermarkets or hotels; most transactions are cash-only, so carry enough bolívares.
No strict rule; leave 10% at nicer restaurants if service is good, round up taxi fares, and small change for hotel staff.

An arepa or empanada from a street stall or simple restaurant for about 5-8 VES.

Small local bodegas and the Mercal state-run chain are common; larger supermarkets like Abastos Bicentenario are around but can be pricier.

Local buses or shared taxis (por puesto) cost around 1-3 VES per trip; from the airport, take a bus into town for under 5 VES.
Eat at market stalls or local fondas instead of restaurants; always carry small denominations as change is scarce; avoid buying from touristy spots near hotels.
Emergency Contacts
GuanareIn Guanare, dial 171 for police or ambulance; for fire services, call 176. These numbers may not always work due to network issues. If they fail, ask at your hotel or a local shop to call from a landline. Carry a local SIM card (Digitel or Movistar) for better reliability. For medical emergencies, the main hospital is Hospital Universitario Miguel Oraá, but it’s under-resourced. Consider having a private clinic contact like Clínica Guanare (0257-251-1234) for quicker care.
💡 Save these numbers in your phone. In life-threatening emergencies, call immediately.
Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Guanare, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.

💡 Go early morning to see the birds. Bring your own water – vendors are sparse. The lake boats cost a few bolivares but walking is free.
