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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

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

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
