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 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
