Cento Social Italo Venezolano, Venezuela

Advantages: great atmosphere
Disadvantages: easy to get lost

...I remember it like yesterday, the day I got off the plane and smelled the new culture in the air. Venezuela was more then my expectations, the people were very friendly and helpful, before my arrival I had feared of street gangs but I did not see any at all. The staffs at the hotel were very helpful and directed me to best places to visit. Instantly I fall in love with this country, the food tasted wild and exotic, the women were extremely beautiful and friendly. What I discovered in Venezuela is what we have lost in Europe.

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Lack of WC's

...I have visited Playa Colorada many times - and it is my favourite beach in Eastern Venezuela. Palm trees are down to the water edge, golden sand, and sparkling warm water makes this a palce to be.. and be.. and be. Surrounded by small islands this beach is very calm and it is the safest I have visited... Make sure and stay for to view the sunset - it is terrific. Also why not wait and go for a dip after dark. It is creepy but rather fun. Good facilities (for Venezuela) and water sports are also available.. Are you still there ???... Read review

Advantages: cheap, beautiful, diverse
Disadvantages: can be dangerous, english is not widely spoken

It ranges from the Andes in the West to the Gran Sabana and then onto the dense Jungle in the east. It has the world's tallest waterfall: Angel Falls, (discovered by Jimmy Angel), beautiful Carribean Coast, unique tribal communities and bustling oil rich cities. As i did with my trip lets start where most people do -Caracas. This is a city of to halves, extreme poverty and extreme wealth due to the oil, but the first thing that hit me was the incredible prices. I mean a 3 course meal for £2.50 and people were ripping you off if they were selling fags for 90p. This meant that a daily budget was tiny and in fact hotel rooms in other towns were less than £4.00 a night, so a budget of less than £15 is fine... Read review
