Visited Venezuela for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $84/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8.5/10. Exceeded expectations.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

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.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
