Immigration Hassles in Venezuela
Guys,
Please understand the country is not in a mood to welcome tourists and it does not care if you are bringing money in the country. Be prepared for lot of questions at the immigration counter. The worse place to enter Venezuela is via Caracas, and to a certain extent even Maracaibo. Extremely unfriendly immigration. They love making you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.
Important. Make sure you have your confirmed hotel booking print out with you. They will ask for it as well as your return ticket. They might even call the hotel to confirm if you have a booking.
The easiest airport I found to enter Venezuela peacefully is a airport called "Las Pierdas" (neat Punto fijo) connected via 30 minute flight from Curacao on Insel air. Just one friendly immigration officer sitting there. Those of you who fear immigration harassment. This is the airport.
The 2nd best airport is that of Barcelona (BCN) - It has 2 immigration officers. Also friendly.
While leaving Venezuela things reverse dramatically. Caracas is the easiest and most hassle free airport to leave the country. Other airports. Always reach airport at least 3.5 hours before your departure flight. For Maracaibo airport, I recommend reaching 5 hours before departure. Be ready to be checked 4-5 times / bags opened 4-5 times before you actually depart. The only cool place to depart is from Caracas where you can reach airport 2.5 hours before and only regular security checks like elsewhere. But the smaller the airport, the more the harassment while leaving and too much checking of the bags (both main and hand luggage). Be prepared accordingly.
Hope this helps.
How to pay cash to hookers in Venezuela
As all of you know, you have to pay in Bolivars. If you want to take advantage of the conversion rate.
If you pay in USD. Do not expect to pay anything less than 50 usd or more. Usually 100 usd.
There are many agencies there (via websites) who offer girls. These agencies demand that payment be made into a current account of a bank. So what it means. It means its very unsafe to carry big bundles of cash with her after she exits your hotel. So the agency expects you to go to a bank with your big bundles of cash and deposit it there (equally dangerous for you a tourist).
So best way is to avoid agencies and try to meet hookers who work directly. They charge lesser (no agency commission) and you don't have to go to a bank.
Hope this helps.
Venezuelan chica vs. Colombian chica
That's my personal taste but I found the Venezuelan girls much more hardcore than Colombian girls. In Venezuela, it's very easy to get anal sex, bareback blow job and sex group.
In Isla Margarita, I have nearly everyday a reverse gangbang with 3 girls together. Some time with other guys in the hotel we share the chicas in the same room and the girls are very open to sex party with many partners (but not lesbian).
Physically, the Venezuelan girls may be less sexy than Colombian girls because they are less taller (or they are shorter). Boob silicon and booty silicon are the norm in both country.
There are many chubby and fatty girls in the street with the look of Amazonie indian women. I heard that the most beautiful working girls, the top looker, have left the country to work in Costa Rica and Panama and Spain in Europe for better money.

Venezuela to print 20,000-unit banknote
Caracas (AFP) - Inflation-stricken Venezuela will launch a new 20,000-bolivar banknote to help shoppers struggling with huge wads of currency in the country's economic crisis, the central bank said. The biggest denomination banknote currently in circulation is 100 bolivars -- worth fewer than three cents of a dollar at current market rates. The Venezuelan central bank said in a statement on Sunday it will start to release a series of new notes from December 15, to "make the payment system more efficient and commercial transactions easier. ".
The new notes range from 500 to 20,000 Bolivars -- the latter amount being equivalent to about $5. 00.
Certain smaller denominations will be changed from notes to coins, it said.
Falling world prices for Venezuela's crucial oil exports have caused a shortage of dollars in the country. That has driven up the price of imports of food, medicine and other crucial goods. The government fixes a special low exchange rate for purchases of essential goods. But shortages oblige Venezuelans to shop on the black market at higher prices.
The last official inflation estimate given by Venezuelan authorities was 180 percent in 2015.
The International Monetary Fund has forecast the rate will hit 475 percent by the end of this year.
A particularly sharp surge in inflation over recent weeks sparked a shortage of notes, causing long queues at banks and cash machines.
