Currency issues, super corrupt police, distrust, political unrest, and insecurity make Venezuela an intimidating and dificult destination, but your road-hardy persistence and travel smarts will reward you with incredible experiences in a unique, dynamic, and nearly untouristed gem of a country. Buy your money on the black market, talk to people, observe but don't opine upon the political situation, have a nice glass of Cacique rum or a couple of comically small Polar beers, and let the rumba begin.
''I hitched from Ciudad Guayana to Manaus in 3 days in April 2014. The road was paved and in great condition! The Gran Sabana was very beautiful. Longest wait was two hours at the last town before entering the Amazon. '' -[[user:Dr.Keith|Keith]]
== Currency ==
Don't change your money at an exchange office or bank and don't take any money from an ATM! You will get the official (government-set) rate of about 11BsF per USD. Better change your money on the black market where you can get 50-85BsF per USD. Ask the locals where you can sell your dollars.
