In Bolívar you can enjoy a beautifully restored colonial quarter, with charming colonial buildings around the "Plaza Bolivar", including a cathedral. The Plaza Bolívar was declared a national monument and focal point of historical events in this city, along with the customary statue of Simón Bolívar. Together, they are five allegorical figures representing each of the countries Simón Bolívar liberated from Spanish rule: Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolívar, Colombia, and Peru. Some 10 blocks south of the plaza is Fortín Zamuro. Nearby, facing Plaza Miranda is the Centro de las Artes.
During your stay in Bolívar vacation rentals, see where the town lies at a narrowing of the Orinoco River. Its original name was a contraction of the town's full descriptive name, 'Santo Tomé de Guayana de Angostura del Orinoco', "Saint Thomas of Guayana of the narrows of the Orinoco." The city lies at a spot where the Orinoco narrows to about 1 mile (1.6 km) in width, and today is the site of the only bridge across the river. Two more bridges are under construction.
