Visited Venezuela for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing fair.
Spent $136/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Solid destination.

The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

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

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

This is outdated info IMO.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