Visited Venezuela for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $108/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.
AMA.
Venezuela — overrated?

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $84/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $87/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
