Where to stay in Unare
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The Bloques de Unare are flats, not hotels. Rooms for Ciudad Guayana gather on the wider Puerto Ordaz side around the industrial trade, so a visitor with an address inside these eighteen hectares is almost always here for a person rather than a place. Unare covers very little ground.
Puerto Ordaz, the newer half around it, is where a traveller finds a bed, while San Félix sits further off east across the Caroní.

About Unare
What are the main landmarks in Unare?
Housing, and little else. No museum, church or monument is recorded for Unare, whose whole extent is the set of residential blocks that gave it the name Bloques de Unare and that have stood since 1975. Whatever Ciudad Guayana shows a visitor sits outside it, on the wider Puerto Ordaz side and across the Caroní in San Félix.
Eighteen hectares leave no room for much more.
What is the history of Unare?
1975 is the date attached to Unare. The Bloques de Unare went up as planned housing inside Ciudad Guayana, the city that had formed once Puerto Ordaz and San Félix spread far enough along the Caroní to merge, and the aluminium and steel industry of Bolívar State was what drew the people such blocks were built to house. San Félix is older.
Unare belongs to the phase after the merger, not before it.
Where is Unare?
Roughly 18 hectares make up Unare, a compact pocket of Ciudad Guayana west of the Caroní, in the Puerto Ordaz half of the city.
