Has anyone been to Venezuela recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
