A sprawling metropolis choked with traffic, Caracas incites no instant love affairs. The political and cultural capital of Venezuela is densely overpopulated and hectic, with a solid dose of crime and pollution. Few sections of the city are pedestrian-friendly, most are downright dangerous and after dark, it's strictly taxis only.

Why Venezuela?

Venezuela Tour Packages

ANDREW GILCHRIST OWNER, LOST WORLD ADVENTURES

Venezuela is more than first meets the eye. caracas is the gateway to the country and rarely a stopping point on the way to the country's many tourist attractions., further afield endless natural history and culture travel adventures lie ahead. still much the same as when sir arthur conan doyle coined gran sabana's "lost world," venezuela's geography provides the opportunity to explore territories vast and varied..

Canaima is the getaway to Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world at more than 3,000 feet. Venture deep into its base by dugout canoe or fly through the tepuis and see it from the sky. Hike atop the eerie and unique landscapes of Auyantepuy or Mount Roraima Tepuy, one of the top treks in South America. Mérida and the Andes are paradise found for hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts and home to the world's highest and longest cable car system.

Some of the best scuba diving in the Caribbean Sea occurs in the still relatively undiscovered and unknown Los Roques Archipelago National Park, also a bonefishing mecca. Stay at a luxury guesthouse or charter a first class sailboat. Right in the middle of the country map, you'll find the Llanos grasslands, an immense extension of flat, flooding terrain packed with exotic fauna and flora.

Venezuela Tours & Travel Guide

Venezuela Attractions & Landmarks Guide

Just a hop and a skip from the island of Trinidad in the southern Caribbean, Venezuela forms the northern crown of South America. The country’s top attractions are its rainforests and magnificent Angel Falls, the world’s highest single drop waterfall. Venezuela’s Orinoco River is the continent’s second longest after the Amazon, and cruise ships sometimes call at the country’s offshore islands in the Caribbean. Caracas, the capital, combines modern sophistication with colonial architecture.

Top Experiences in Venezuela

Hiking is a great experience in Venezuela.

There are many different natural sites and national parks that give travelers the opportunity to go hiking. A popular destination for this activity is Mount Roraima or Angel Falls.

Lounging at the beach

Venezuela is perfect for a day on the beach.

Wildlife watching

Bird watching in Venezuela.

Sightseeing

Venezuela is rich in history and culture and a great destination for travelers who want to learn and soak it all in. Visit religious destinations like the National Pantheon of Venezuela or for art lovers, visit the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas.

Venezuelan Cuisine

Arepas: Grilled, fried, baked or steamed cornmeal bread, Arepas is one of the most popular dishes in Venezuela. These cornmeal patties are filled with many different kinds of ingredients from beef to eggs to avocados.

Tequenos: Better than mozzarella sticks, Tequenos is a pastry crust filled with salty white cheese. This dish can be fried or baked and typically served with a Venezuelan avocado sauce.

Cachapa: Found both in street vendors and restaurants, Cachapa is like a pancake that is often stuffed with hand-made cheese and cream with butter on top. If you order this in a restaurant it often comes with ham, pork or beef.

Tres Leches: For the travelers with a sweet tooth, Tres Leches is perfect for you. This dish is a sponge cake soaked in condensed milk, evaporated milk and regular milk with a meringue topping. With all this milk you may think the cake gets soggy but because there is no butter, the batter is light and stays fluffy and delectable. 

Cachitos: Mimicking a croissant, Cachitos are bread rolls filled with ham and cheese. It’s often eaten at breakfast and is quick and easy which makes it great for a busy day of sightseeing and exploring.

Mandocas: This dish isn’t your typical donut. It’s a dough made of sweetened cornmeal, salt, water and plantains. It is served with butter or cheese and is often eaten as a breakfast dish.

5 Best Beaches in Venezuela

Venezuela beach

Madrisqui: White sand beaches and gentle waves, Madrisqui is the perfect destination for a beach day. It’s great for families who have little kids that want to splash in the water as well as those who like to soak up the sun on a beach chair or go fishing on the shore.

Cayo de Agua: A popular destination, Cayo de Agua is big enough to share as it’s a long slim stretch of white sand. This destination doesn’t get crowded or noisy which is perfect for a relaxing day in the sun. It’s best to note that the tide can be unpredictable so if you get in the water it’s best to stay alert.

Mochima National Park: More than just a beach, this national park also offers forests, hills and plenty of wildlife. Mochima National Park is great for outdoor activities from swimming to snorkeling to boat tours.

Playa El Yaque: This destination is great for travelers who like a lot of life and activity in a place. Playa El Yaque is a common tourist beach which means there are many hotels, restaurants and shops. Water sports are common at this beach including kitesurfing.

Isla El Faro: Another great destination for people who want to get in the water but don’t like rough waves, Isla El Faro has calm waters. Travelers can paddle, wade and swim in these waves without any difficulty. There are many shady spots on this beach for when it gets hot and good surrounding restaurants for when you get hungry.

To foster a free election in venezuela, the u.s. is offering the maduro regime a deal.

In an effort to promote a free election in Venezuela, the U.S. government is offering the autocratic government of Nicolas Maduro a deal. But already it's facing challenges.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:

In Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado easily won the opposition's presidential primary on Sunday. That should set her off for a face-off against Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela's autocratic leader, in next year's presidential election. However, the Maduro regime has disqualified Machado from running. Now, in an effort to promote a free election, the U.S. government is offering Maduro a deal. Reporter John Otis explains.

JOHN OTIS, BYLINE: Maria Corina Machado, a former right-wing legislator, overwhelmed nine other candidates in Sunday's opposition primary.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

MARIA CORINA MACHADO: (Speaking Spanish).

OTIS: In a speech, she called her triumph the beginning of the end of Maduro's presidency and vowed to crush him in next year's election. The Maduro regime insists Machado cannot run for president. That's because, in June, she was barred from holding public office for 15 years, even though there was no legal basis for that decision. Yet Machado's fortunes have been bolstered by her landslide primary win and by a push from Washington.

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: We will now proceed with the signing of the two partial agreements.

OTIS: The first breakthrough came last week at this ceremony in Barbados, where envoys for Maduro and Venezuela's opposition laid out new ground rules to make next year's election at least partially free and fair. The deal includes a process for lifting the bans on presidential candidates.

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: Thank you. Muchas gracias.

OTIS: The day after the agreement was signed, the Biden administration lifted for six months most of the sanctions put in place in 2019 against Venezuela's vital oil industry. Those sanctions magnified what was already Venezuela's worst economic crisis in history. Under the sanctions, Venezuela had to sell its oil on the black market at steep discounts. But now it can once again export oil to the U.S. at market prices, says Francisco Monaldi, an energy analyst at Rice University in Houston.

FRANCISCO MONALDI: That's what made it irresistible, I think, for Maduro to accept this deal. He's going to benefit starting tomorrow.

OTIS: Monaldi says the deal could nearly double Venezuela's oil income over the next year. Maduro, who has dismal job approval ratings, badly needs that cash to jumpstart the economy as he seeks re-election, says Phil Gunson, who's based in Caracas for the International Crisis Group.

PHIL GUNSON: Maduro has the problem that the economy of Venezuela is in very bad shape, so he needs to produce a fairly rapid turnaround.

OTIS: But the regime is already backing off from the Democratic commitments it made in Barbados.

JORGE RODRIGUEZ: (Speaking Spanish).

OTIS: In a speech, Jorge Rodriguez, Maduro's envoy to the Barbados talks, insisted that there is no agreement to lift the bans on presidential candidates.

Such hedging by the regime is why the easing of U.S. sanctions is temporary and why oil sanctions could quickly be reimposed. So says Juan Gonzalez, a top Biden administration envoy for Latin America, speaking here with Americas Quarterly.

JUAN GONZALEZ: After November, if they've not followed through, we're going to take steps to reverse what is happening.

OTIS: In the end, Maduro may prefer sanctions to facing the highly popular Machado at the ballot box. Gunson points out that if Maduro loses and leaves office, he and other regime figures could face prosecution for human rights abuses and drug trafficking.

GUNSON: Maduro and the people around him have given no indication that they have at any point contemplated giving up power. They don't intend to do that.

MACHADO: (Speaking Spanish).

OTIS: But in the wake of her primary win on Sunday, an upbeat Machado insisted that she will be on next year's presidential ballot.

OTIS: She said, "we are going to overcome all of these obstacles."

Paolina Massidda: "En Venezuela se siguen cometiendo crímenes con impunidad"

Palabras de la representante de la Oficina de Defensa Pública de las Víctimas de la Corte Penal Internacional

Nicolás Maduro acompañado de la primera dama Cilia Flores en un acto de gobierno

  • Venezuela El abogado de Puigdemont defiende a Maduro ante la Corte Penal Internaciona
  • Elecciones El chavismo anula las primarias opositoras y dinamita el acuerdo de Barbados

"Mientras hablamos en Venezuela se siguen cometiendo crímenes con impunidad", cerró su intervención Paolina Massidda, representante de la Oficina de Defensa Pública de las Víctimas de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI). El colofón perfecto a dos sesiones históricas, la audiencia pública ante la Sala de Apelaciones de la CPI que debe decidir si prosigue la investigación contra Nicolás Maduro , generales y colaboradores en los crímenes de lesa humanidad cometidos durante años.

No exagera Massidda. Más allá de que en este momento 271 prisioneros políticos permanezcan en las mazmorras de Maduro, entre ellos tres mujeres y un hombre con nacionalidad española, las torturas y los abusos están a la orden del día. Sólo cinco presos se han visto beneficiados hasta ahora de los Acuerdos de Barbados entre gobierno y oposición y con Estados Unidos como instigador.

Entre las últimas violaciones de la revolución destacan la detención ilegal hace 70 días y las torturas aplicadas al estudiante de Antropología y Derecho John Álvarez, de 24 años, a quien se le forzó para que grabara unos vídeos en contra de sindicalistas que protestan contra el gobierno. Los malos tratos le han provocado pérdida de visión, fallas renales y parálisis en una pierna.

"La estrategia asumida por el Estado es absurda para una corte internacional, basada en que es un país soberano para investigar y que así lo está haciendo. La Fiscalía les preguntó si estaban investigando 63 casos específicos y dijeron que tenían a 15 funcionarios condenados, todos ellos de baja jerarquía y, lo que es más importante, la investigación no fue por delitos de lesa humanidad", resumió para EL MUNDO Alfredo Romero, presidente de Foro Penal, organización que defiende a buena parte de los presos políticos venezolanos.

De hecho, Massidda introdujo en su alegato el contenido de un escrito enviado a la CPI por el Foro Penal, en el que se demuestra que en Venezuela no existen leyes que reglamenten el Estatuto de Roma. "Esto es muy sólido e irrebatible : no se puede investigar porque no hay una ley", constató Romero.

Desde que comenzara en 2018 una carrera de obstáculos en busca de justicia, esta es la primera vez que se ven las caras ante el tribunal. Y en el banquillo chavista han destacado dos abogados muy caros: el famoso letrado inglés Ben Emmerson , protagonista de casos tan renombrados como la defensa del líder espiritual de Al Qaeda en Europa y de Julian Assange, activista de WikiLeaks, y, en un segundo plano, el español Aitor Martínez Jiménez, perteneciente al despacho del exjuez Baltasar Garzón.

Emmerson, que quiso justificar su fama con arrogancia pero con argumentos muy débiles , también ha defendido ante Naciones Unidas a Carlos Puigdemont y a otros líderes del independentismo, como Oriol Junqueras y los Jordis, Cuixart y Sánchez.

Garzón, por su parte, es uno de los abogados favoritos de Maduro. El exjuez español ha defendido al magnate colombiano Alex Saab, testaferro del "presidente pueblo" hoy encarcelado en EEUU y también ha participado en tribunales españoles en la demanda realizada por Nicolasito Maduro, hijo del dictador chavista, contra la defensora de derechos humanos Tamara Suju.

Convertido hoy en una de las vedettes del Grupo de Puebla, que suma a dirigentes populistas, revolucionarios, izquierdistas o progresistas de América Latina con José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Garzón visitó Caracas recientemente con su pareja, la exministra de Justicia Dolores Delgado. A ambos se les vio en el Hotel Humboldt en la cima del Ávila, convertido hoy en el lugar más emblemático de la burbuja millonaria para enchufados creada por la revolución.
