Early one beautiful Saturday in September 1998, five of us flew from the Caracas Airport (located fairly far southwest of the City itself on Autopista #1 from Caracas to Valencia) to the Gran Sabana. Alejandro C. was our pilot and half-owner of the plane. His fiancée, Patricia, and her two dogs came along for the ride. The rest of the crew consi...

We left Santiago to get to our last country on the continent. As we passed over the Andes and the Amazon, we crossed the Equator. This was quite a significant event. For most of the last 4 months we had been in the southern hemisphere, and now we finally returned to the Northern half of the planet. I think we shall look back on out time 'down un...

We landed in Caracas at around 11:30pm which was kind of freaky.. We met Jean, his brother Oliver, and his Girlfriend there. We met them on couchsurfers.com and they were a godsend, Which was a huge relief because when we got out the aiport we realized why. We were immediatly hounded by unnofficial cab drivers, and black market money traders whi...

I have been stuck in Caracas for the last couple of days, waiting for my money to transfer through. Aside from wandering around the "nice" parts of the city by metro invaded by huge shopping malls complete with designer-label-clad youths and middle classes, I have been observing the huge number of barrios/slums that cover the mountains - visible...

So from one milkless country to another....It seems as if I am destined to have black coffee for the duration of my travels.... I arrived in Caracas on Saturday, and was really pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the city is. It is located in a valley between huge green mountains with the steep slopes of El Avila at the north of the city acti...

What an introduction to a new concept of airline hell! On arrival in Caracas having flown for plenty long time expecting a short connection to El-Tigre, it turned into an adventure of epic proportions! Hooked up with International SOS security guard for armed escort from international terminal to domestic terminal as advised, only to discover it...

Pois é, 1 hora de atraso na saída de Lisboa, motivos técnicos diz a TAP... Meia hora de atraso na chegada a Caracas, Venezuela. E lá se foi a escala... A TACA/LACSA (Lineas Aereas Costarricenses) deixou-nos em terra (faltavam 40 minutos para a hora do avião levantar, mas fecharam o check in...). Começou a aventura em terras de Hugo Chavez... Os ...

So, I've made it to country number 5 and I'm over one third of the way through the trip. My final day in Santiago was a great Sunday kind of day (very lucky it was Sunday then really). The sun was shining, the birds singing, the trees were all spring-like with blossom and many of the people of Santiago were out cycling, walking the dog, or smooc...

well we made it to Caracas in one piece, hopefully we stay that way! now south America in general has a bad reputation. you really need to speak to travelers to get the lowdown on the place. So now i can tell you from experience, its a top place and safe as houses if you keep your whitts about you...but Venezuala..especially Caracas (its capital...

After considerable delays getting to Canaima, eventually landed and got on some boats to a refuge upriver towards the Angel Falls (highest waterfalls in the world - 970m high for those unfamiliar with it). Had a very pleasant walk up to the Angel Falls the following day. A lot of rain provided us with a spectacular view despite being in the dry ...
