Our expectations for this trip
This is a top pick! 6 months ago, on New Year's eve, we sat down, the 6 of us, and each told the others what our expectations and fears were about this year off together. Here is the summary: Fabyan (16): I want to see the world to learn and see new and old things, have ...
Devil's Canyon thin ribbon.
This is a top pick! So the ten day all-inclusive starts with an uppercut. I've just been told that there's no flight from Canaima back to Santa Elena on the planned return day from Angel Falls. So my option is to stay another day in Canaima and miss the day tour to Gran ...
Tres Gringos getting ready
This is a top pick! ... house in Cannes, France.... and we will try to keep up with the tan that never left us since we have been in Venezuela ! ahah I'm adding a few pictures of our time here...luckily, we were reunited with our 3 kids and Peggy during the Xmas holidays. ...

Chilling on the Caribbean coast
This is a top pick! ... hardened to it. It is unfortunate that Chavez, the president, seems to be increasing military and police numbers, and using Venezuela's abundant oil wealth to bolster his weakening position. It is a shame that he does not invest the money in education ...
Terribly lost in the Lost World.
This is a top pick! ... the six days round trip hike to the top of Roraima (2810m), a table mountain (tepui) that are shared between three countries, Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. The major part of the mountain is in Venezuela, and this is also the spot where most people hike ...
final destination
This is a top pick! ... screen and then disappears into the back office. Will we or will we not get on this flight? We want desperately to leave Venezuela. She returns and starts printing some baggage receipts and I finally relax. We have the worst seats on the plane - right ...
Bush camping and amphibious vehicles!
This is a top pick! Today start our several day drive towards Brazil through the beautiful Gran Sabana - miles of grasslands with loads of waterfalls and hardly any tourists. Today we had to drive east first and then get on the only road south towards the Gran Sabana. ...
Chilling in Ciudad Bolivar again
This is a top pick! Go into town today to do group shop before we head for the middle of nowhere. After lunch we sit by the pool for a few hours and watch the pet toucan sit on my sun lounger for a while and then the pet monkey steal a packet of cigarettes off Ian in our ...
Relaxing on the beach
This is a top pick! ... and are joining the next leg of ours (from Caracas to Manaus). They are also Brits and have had a pretty tough time in Venezuela on their own apparently being overcharged for example. They are going to travel back with us to Caracas. We have spag bol ...
Death in the city
This is a top pick! Yesterday evening, a student was shot and killed at a protest in town. Just few hours before that I walked past the barricades and the burning trash piles in the middle of the street on my way to a Symphony concert. I didn't imagine it was quite that ...
Mysterious Lightning in Catocumbo
This is a top pick! ... a lot of roads have collapsed and landslides. Now realise what all the tyres and fires were when we first drove into Venezuela at night - is their version of roadworks. In another small village see the tobacco ¨factory¨ with raw nicotine bubbling or ...
Touch and Go
This is a top pick! Caracas has the most beautiful slums. Sprawling for miles and miles are identical square brick houses with frameless, barred windows. Here and there, there is a house painted in baby blue or baby pink. Occasionally white. As we get closer to the airport, ...
Anticipating the great falls
This is a top pick! Yesterday had a very bumpy and fast boat trip back towards Tucupita although we decided not to stay there another night as planned as we had probably seen the highlights already. We then got on the road for another longish driver through more savannah. ...
Leaving Venezuela for Brazil!
This is a top pick! ... open and we have to walk back from the truck to get stamped into Brazil. Get pretty wet in the process. Have enjoyed Venezuela and have seen a lot here. Def high points have been Angel Falls, Gran Sabana camping and Playa Colorado. People have been ...
Welcome to Venezuela
This is a top pick! ... next to him and eventually he moves off elsewhere. Not one person on the bus intervenes on my behalf. Rachel decides that Venezuela is a bad place. Once in my seat the journey is a comfortable one and we reach our destination of Cuidad Bolivar early ...

This is a top pick! Slept v well and had a great brekkie at the bakery near our hotel. Have a group meeting to discuss the plan of action. Have a few days here to do whatever before we go onto Los Llanos in the jungle. Some of us are going to Lake Maracaibo tomorrow to ...
More falls to the border!
This is a top pick! Up early again and heading south via a few more waterfalls. Stop at Jasper Falls which is about 15 mins walk from the road. The bedrock is red and orange and looks like a pavement almost with all the erosion. Go for a paddle and the falls are lovely ...
You never know who you might meet
This is a top pick! ... mansion which has now gone to ruin. Tony has brought several black bin bags with him to clear up the rubbish which, typical of Venezuela, is strewn everywhere. He tries to tell us that as a provider of eco-tourist services he wants to tidy it up out of ...
Magnificent Angel Falls
This is a top pick! After much tossing and turning we slept ok but apparently I was kicking someone in the head with my feet as the hammocks were hung so close together. Fortunately he wasnt concussed. Woke up early and watched the light change on the falls and yet ...
Trekking on Roraima
This is a top pick! Roraima is a a 2700 metre flat topped mountain (or tepui) straddling the border between Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana. Its abrupt rise out of the surrounding savannah, which is 1800m lower in altitude, means that it has a unusual ecosystem on the summit. ...
Will I never learn my lesson?
This is a top pick! Those darn busses...always taking longer than you think they will. Anyway, I didn´t bring any food on the bus...again. So I was starving, tired and generally pretty unhappy when I got off, despite it being a pretty good trip. The lady next to me had ...
Crackers
This is a top pick! ... ; *** Acceptable *** Arrived in Caracas with two days before our next flight on to Ecuador. Off to explore. Picture attached is classic Venezuela Car. This was our taxi to the hotel and the guy asked if I would like to drive. Brilliant. Arriving in South ...
Socialist Revolution & Personal Evolution
This is a top pick! ... , my plan was to take a 32 hour bus from Bogota to Caracas if I was going to be able to afford a visit to Venezuela. However, after friends who live there pleaded with me to do otherwise, I thought the better of it. My reasoning was not ...
Close to trilingual!!
This is a top pick! ... I´m speaking a foreign language....just like I´ve got the mother of all weird accents. I had the BEST meal thus far in Venezuela today. It was this yummy chicken leg on a bed of mashed potatoes with a red pepper sauce....soooo good. The chicken was ...
The bad side of chicken.
This is a top pick! Today is my last day in Merida. Tonight I´m heading back to Caracas on the overnight bus. Should be lots of fun, although I have my sweater ready to counter the freezing conditions I expect to be subjected to on the bus. I´m sad to be finishing my ...
Oh, sweet Venezuela
This is a top pick! ... , even for a foreigner. After the initial shock of paying $70 for a taxi from the airport, I discovered that the prices in Venezuela (based on the official exchange rate of 2.2bolivares=$1) are indeed higher than in the US. But wait, there is a black ...
In the middle of the Gran Sabana
This is a top pick! My cook group scores brownie points today by cooking bacon sandwiches for all before we set off further south. First we go through a couple of towns and past another security checkpoint where we show our passports again. Fortunately the number of times ...
