Hi, I'm looking for a trained/experienced teacher (native speaker) of British English to give one-to-one conversation and grammar lessons in Caracas. Any advice gratefully received. The British Council had no information. Please post replies here or email Dianali Rodriguez <dianalirodriguez@gmail.com>.

Thanks.

Hi Folks,

I´m travelling with my boyfriend around South America and we´d planned on visiting Venezuela in June(ish) for 2-3 weeks.
I understand it´s a truly wonderful place to travel with plenty to see and do (we both have friends who have visited in the past). However, we´ve been hearing a lot of stories from tavellers we´ve bumped into who have been there in the last few months and they are not all positive. I understand there are some serious security issues in Venezuela at the moment and am…

Hi, everyone.

I'm planning a trip to Venezuela in July for three weeks - hope to do the Roraima trekking (this is a must for me if I go to Venezuela), but I understand July is rainy season, wondering if anyone could share any tips or watch-out related to trekking Roraima in July or you won't recommend the treking in rainy season at all. Also curious to know if there's a lot of bugs in July.

Thank you all in advance, and wish everyone happy travel.

Rene

just wondering if gold also works on a parallel market like USD does. im thinking it would be far less bulky to bring 1oz of gold than 15x$100 bills.

would this allow you to sell the gold at jewelery shops legitimately? because if gold followed the official exchange rate, you could just exchange loads of USD on black market, buy gold, bring it home and make a huge profit.

Trip Report

Just got back from 3 1/2 weeks in venezuela. Went down for a wedding.

Started off by flying to los roques. Flights were booked by our friends in venezuela. Stayed at Posada Dona Carmen. I think around 800 or 900 bsf per night for 2, breakfast and dinner included. The posada was nice (this was the cheapest option I could find on the island) but expensive, and I found the owner to be very rude. My wife speaks basic spanish and she would'nt even try and communicate with us. Our AC was broken in…

Hi

I'm planning to travel through Venezuela in late September, though I'm concerned about the cost of accomodation. Does anyone know of hostels or cheaper accomodation in:

  • Santa Elena de Uairen?
  • Ciudad Bolivar?
  • Merida?

Also, what is the best way of getting from Merida to Cartagena?

Thanks!

Hello everyone

Got 2 nights in Caracas either end of my trip where I've got another flight the next day.

Any suggestions where to stay? One of the flights is very early...5.55am...so will need to be at the airport well before so somewhere that can arrange transport at this time would be ideal.

Also, anything else I should be aware of? Departure tax for example?

Thanks.
