Hotel La Floresta Caracas

... heads. The canyon walls couldn't have been more then ten or twelve feet wide, at the very most. Since no sunlight filtered down from above everything was cloaked in semi-darkness. As we moved forward, the water pressure steadily increased until it was flowing so fast you were forced to hold on to a rope that had been anchored along the cliff face for people just like us. Naturally, the rocks underfoot were slippery so forward progress was slow. Although we hadn't noticed it at ...

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, the painted houses become brighter in color, like candy. Perhaps they are newer and the colors haven't ...

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 which gave us ****** rates. We went to Jeans house and stayed there for the night and chatted. The next day we went for a tour around the city and ...

... progress well until we made a long lunch stop and then proceeded to take small roads heavy with traffic. It was nearing 5pm and we still had no sight of Caracas, eventually at 6pm we started to head into Caracas rush hour. We moved painfully slowly until finally we reached the depot for the bus company - we had been expecting to go to the bus terminal but didn´t mind too much as we had been told this bus company runs to Merida. We picked up our bags and ...

... his cab say alto about this town... "Theres the enterance to your hotel. Run. Good Luck" Have arranged a quick exit from this place. Off on an adventure tomorrow with buses, small aeroplanes, boat rides and trecks to Salto Angel, the worlds tallest waterfall. Officially made millionaire status here in Venezualla, the adventure cost 1 100 000 Bolivianos, to be paid in cash... considering the biggest note is 20 000 the photos are priceless.

... We splurged on the plane and were lucky to get one that afternoon at a decent price. We spent our first few days on the capital of the island (insert name here) and decided to hit the bars on fri night. We ended up at a place called the British bulldog which was owned by a guy from London. it was my first real sit at the bar experience and i enjoyed it thoroughly! we didnt have a second between empty and full beer and they were always cold. Venezualians serve ...

... blue lagoon which was a short boat ride away generally chilling, drinking beers, swinging in hammocks, kayaking, reading and playing card games... you get the picture. The next day was quite a contrast when part of the group including me went on a jungle trek. I can honestly say I don't think I have ever sweated as much in my life as that day and got the first of many bites to come for Venezuela. We went over 16 miles up to a old hacienda including a extra trip to ...

... in 1919 an almost cult following developed and it is not uncommon for Venezuelans to have a picture of him in their house. After checking out several streets of markets and vendors near the Plaza Bolivar, we went to the Metro station and headed to the east end of the city called Chacao. We had originally planned on heading to the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (Modern Art Museum) but it is closed on Mondays. I guess that gives me something to do tomorrow. Chacao is the ...
