Visited Venezuela for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $61/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
