Various in the Country: World's Best Hammocks are Made in Venezuela

by atufft

Prior to 1492, sailors slept on the ship deck in misery. But, Spanish sailors found natives of the Caribbean sleeping in hammocks, and a great invention for comfortable sleep was discovered. The hammock is very restful for the back and children love to swing in one. The correct way to sleep in one is with the body stretched out in a perpendicular manner to the hammock as it is hung between anchors on a wall or from trees. Indigenous Venezuelans can often be seen walking with their hammock over the shoulder. A hammock is a great souvenir because they are easily transported home in the backpack of suitcase.Without a doubt, the finest hammocks are made in Venezuela. Also known as chinchorros, cheap tourist sisal hammocks are found everywhere, but these are to be avoided because sisal is both uncomfortable to the skin and sisal rots quickly in the sun and rain. Similarly, nylon hammocks are...

CARACAS: ENGLISH BOOKSTORES

by swesn

THE AMERICAN BOOK SHOP has moved to Centro Comercial Centro Plaza which is a shopping mall located in Los Palos Grandes neighbourhood. It has quite a selection of English books. I was looking for Latin American literature in English, but they only have a few books from Mario Vargas Llosa and no one else (from South America, I mean). And they were very expensive. Meanwhile, the classics are at half-price. Directions: Get off at Altamira metro station and walk east along Avenida Francisco de Miranda. It is located in the basement. Here's the address:The American Book ShopCentro Comercial Centro PlazaNivel Jardin, al lado de Restaurante MarganaLos Palos GrandesTel: 286-2230/ 285-8779Hours: 9 - 6 Monday to SaturdayTECNICIENCIASBased on the name, this huge bookstore seems to cater to books of science and technology, but there is a section of English books of popular fictions like John...

CARACAS: CENTRO SAMBIL

by swesn

The massive Centro Sambil is a huge shopping mall where the beautiful and hip people of Venezuela go shopping at. Here you can find all the stylish shops, banks, internet cafes, etc... The fashion sense here is the complete opposite of that at Sabana Grande.

Numerous, See Quibor Tip: Quibor Ceramics and Other Handicrafts

by atufft

Barquisimeto claims to be Venezuela's music capitol. There are plenty of good Llanero beef restaurants, and so traditional music--the cuatro, harp, and maracas--are likely to be found in the evenings. But, our travels to the dry desert state of Lara are primarily to visit Quibor and Tintorero where folk art is made. The ceramics of Quibor are exceptional for their quality and indigenous designs. Buses from Caracas to Barquisimento leave almost every hour. The tip for Quibor provides more depth on the origins of the designs and types of artwork available here.

Supermarkets: Best bargains

by blitzkid81

Local supermarkets are best value. Buy spirits, rum in particular less than £1 per bottle. 200 marlboro cigarettes £8. Sunglasses are another good buy. These goods are cheap. Clothes and electrical goods are European prices

various: Markets in Western Venezuela

by lemondrop

In the mountainous western region of Venezuela, it's fun to wander around the local markets. The largest and most well known is the Mercado Principal in Merida. Here you can shop for food and souvenirs while soaking up the atmosphere. If you venture outside of the city (you would be crazy not to), you will find smaller markets in the mountain towns. These are great to visit as well.

Where ever you can find them: Buying Iguana to eat

by Warao

Iguana are not easy to find. If you ask around, and someone can catch one, then you can purchase an Iguana to eat. They tell me you have to know how to cook them. The flavor is good, but I don't know if you can get Iguana in any restarant. The eggs are also eaten, but the taste is very strong. You never know until you try it.

Mérida Principal: All those things you can live without ---

by Luchonda

The shop has two floors - on the first one you can buy fruits and vegtables - the second one is in fact a galery of local art products.But no specials things - mostly wooden handy craft from Ecuador and hammocks, even wall carpets showing the beautiful Andes mountains, but in Ecuador.
