 Andigo mountains by Luchonda
It is twice as big as France and as a tourist, you have to make up a choice.The beautiful beaches of Isla Margarita in the north, the Andigo mountains in the west (Estado Mérida), the Llanos in the center or the tropical woods in the east (Gran Sabana).
Depending on the time you can travel around in this marvelous country - the best is to make a combination - beaches and mountains - mountains and lower fields - beaches and tropical wood.Fauna and flora safari - or just relaxing - far away from the daily stress.

 my class by La_Canchita
Honestly, make an effort to meet the nationals. I will say this for all countries as well. But they are what makes the trips more worth while, they know where to go to hang out, they know where the cheap but good food is and they know about the dangers that otherwise you might not ever know about. Venezuelans are truely amazing people and I cannot think of one that was not. Leave a Comment

 First picture on top of the
mountain by AndreSTGT
Every traveler i had met in the course of my journey proclaimed this trek to be the highlight of any trip to Venezuela.
And they were so right!!!
I will never forget the moment i reached the top of Roraima after three tough days of hiking. It was like stepping into a different world. The sand was pink, the water had the color of cola and i was surrounded by the most bizarre rock formations in the shape of turtles or mushrooms. Oh, and the views from the high plateau over the green rolling hills of La Gran Sabana, and the lush jungle of Guyana on the other side. Undescribable, pure magic... Leave a Comment

 Can TV Logo by amapola66
The telephone service can be somewhat 'irregular' at times !
Can TV
Most people prefer to use their mobiles. The house phone is usually used for long distance or very short arrangements. Some land lines seem to be old and crackling and people shout down them he he and often the whole family sits round if they ring! There is still suspicion as to 'who is listening in' on landlines in Venezuela. Leave a Comment

When in Venezuela, do as the Venezuelans do and this means drinking Polar Beer.
Polar are the 17th largest beer company in the world and is the leading Venezuelan beer.
The beer is a clear pilsner brewed from a mix of malted barley and cereal flakes and has been adapted to the climate and customs of the Venezuelan people,and naturally, in most Polar beer ads, there is a very beautiful girl offering you an ice cold bottle.
My friend The Clarinet Player, was presented with a highly prized Polar beauties calendar on our last visit, much to his delight (but maybe not so much his partner when he returns!)

Located 40km north of the mainland is the island of Margarita, Venezuela's premier beach holiday destination. The population of 300'000 is to be found mainly in the larger cities of Porlamar, Pampatar, El Asuncion and Juan Griego.
More than 50 beaches can be found all around the island, while the prettier ones are on the east coast.
The tourism season doesn't really start before August, so most places are fairly quiet in June, tourist-wise. June is also the beginning of the rain season. Temperatures hover around a nice 27°C.
I stayed in PLAYA EL AGUA (northeastern part of the island) for most of my trip. This is a very well developed beach sporting all amenities one has grown accustomed to. It is lined with several dozen restaurants, beach bars and discotheques, although most were closed for the off-season.
Still, the crowd was decidedly international. I met people from Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Germany, Austria, the United States, England, Belgium, France, Holland, India, Italy and Sweden. Leave a Comment
