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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

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

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

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
