Ciudad Bolívar (pop. 300,000) is located along the southern bank of the Orinoco River. The river front boulevard, Paseo Orinoco, is a popular place for a stroll, with old buildings lining one side of the street and the river running along the other. There is also a beautifully restored colonial quarter. The area surrounding Plaza Bolívar
features a number of boldly painted colonial structures and façades. On the east side of the plaza is the restored Cathedral, dating to the late 1700s to early 1800s.
