I have traveled to Venezuela 2x, and yes a veces (at times) doing the "walk-around" in CCS can indeed be alittle tense - but typically its the danger down there and the concern for your safety that has kept a lid on prices.

If Medellin Colombia gets any safer (on my trips there I haven't had any concerns at all) the p4p prices there will soon be on a par with Cancun and Acapulco Mexico.

By 2010 maybe on a par with Las Vegas.

Caracas does indeed have some of the most beautiful women on the planet, good prices and just as important Polar beers are 3 for $1 US in the supermercados (lol)

Hey Ford,

Thanks for chiming in some tips.

Lately I have been thinking about taking a peak at Venezuela. 4 gringos so far have compared it to Colombia saying the women are even more gorgeous. Thats something I never thought I'd hear but then again this is all subjective and each to their own. Although I hear they tend to be more arrogant and unfriendly. But who cares?

Ricker,

Are there areas outside of Caracas with hot women? It seems like Caracas is it. Where as in Colombia you have BAW,CTG,Cali, And Medellin.

[Ricker]

I have all the respect in the world for Ricker's opinions, and I have seen his photos. I know he has spent a great deal of time in Venezuela. So I think I'll place it up there with any country.

Well thanks amigo! Nice of you to say that.

I've been all over Colombia many times and know Caracas and Maracaibo, Venezuela pretty well.

IMHO, the hottest chicas per square inch. I've seen in Caracas.
Hanging out in or near Sambil Mall in the afternoon. Unbelievable the amount of beautiful chicas.

The mongering scene is not quite as easy there and the pricing is higher, but fun can be had, especially with good Spanish skills.

Caracas is very high in street crime, I had an attempted mugging there also.
I found some anti-american sentiment there also. Never found in Colombia by me. I even had a hotel turn me down for a room because they didn't accept US citizens. Crazy.

The upper echelon Venezolanas are definitely more stuck-up than the Colombianas I've found, but many sweet chicas can be found in Venezuela also. I'm itching for a new Venezuelan novia

Suerte!

Dodger Bulldog,

I am just basing my opinions on the Latinas I have seen in BRazil and here and most of the Venezuelans didnt look that hot and has an aire of lofteness and a bad attitude which I found distasteful. Nearly every Colombia I have seen toped the charts in beauty, politeness and graciousness. Even the rich ones. Brazilians too were a close second. VZ girls just felt a little different. Maybe if I go there i might change my mind. Having said that it wouldnt be smart to land there just for mongering. I would scope out the place if I knew someone that knew they're way around. Each to their own though.

[Dodger Bulldog]

I think he means after Colombia (Cali, Medellin), Peru and Brazil. VZ is a good 3rd or fourth.

I wonder why you would think he meant that? He sure didn't say it.

It is clear that he was saying Medellin is safer. But there is not even a word about Cali, Peru, or Brazil.

One might as well have guessed that he meant third or fourth after the Ukraine, Malaysia, Bahrain, and maybe Belize.

Everyone knows this is all subjective anyway. And everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

I've been to Medellin. Many chicas looked great, and I would go back, but it certainly is not # 1 in my book.

How many chicas will the average monger actually see while visiting somewhere for a week or so: 100? 1000? 5000?

Even if it was twice that, it is only a tiny sample out of a country with tens of millions.

Besides, all I need is to find is one who pleases me. Well, maybe a half dozen would be nice.

I have all the respect in the world for Ricker's opinions, and I have seen his photos. I know he has spent a great deal of time in Venezuela. So I think I'll place it up there with any country.

Someday, I hope to see a sample size of 100 or so Venezolanas for myself...

You just sold me. Caracas has moved to the top of my list!

I never listen to what the locals say about safety and security, as they always tend to exaggerate. Just like the State Department does.

They only remember the time that someone was killed in a neighborhood perhaps ten years ago, building the story up into an urban legend in their minds.

Most fail to ever calculate that millions have safely gone about their daily business there ever since.

Throughout Latin America, whenever I have been told of a part of town to avoid because "no gringo will come out alive," that is were I have gone to make my best friends and score the easiest women.

The fact is that these people are usually astonished to see their first white person, and they often act like groupies in front of a rock star. Men and women both.

I am NOT saying let your guard down. Keep your situational presence and escape plan handy at all times.

But take anything the locals and taxi drivers tell you wth a very heavy dose of salt, or you will miss out on the true local color, along with some good times and fascinating experiences.

The only place I have ever been mugged is the United States and I have been to some shitholes.

[Member #3437]

I am considering to travel to Colombia or Venezuela,but so far as I know, it is much safer VZ instead Colombia, am I wrong?

How is the truth about crime?

Thanks and sorry for the off topic.

The ONLY place I have ever been mugged, in my life. Is Caracas. The only place the taxi driver told me to roll up the windows and lock the doors. Caracas. The only place a driver told me that if his taxi broke down we would all be killed. Caracas.

There is no comparison between going to Boca Grande, Medellin and staying at the penthouse. And mongering in Caracas. Caracas is akin to a miliitary mission. Watch your ass at all times. The rewards are the hottest women in the world.

Unbelievable place contact Reinaldo if you want to meet the finest chicas in Caracas like this one! Do a search on this board and you will find his number. I do not reccomend the best unles it is 100% true!

Cheers

I do recoment Reinaldo, personal experience, very honest, he knows his way around and pretty fair in the fares. www.venezueladriver.com is his web site which is being rebuild. He is the best.

I get the impression one needs money and time in VeneZuela to be sucessful. even with the non-pros. And i here the attitude of the people is just nasty compared to the neighbouring colombia

Colombia on the other hand is alot easier apart from Medellin.

[Bango Cheito]

1) Crime is up in Venezuela, poverty is DOWN. But crime IS up and significantly.

2) In Colombia Bogota, Cartagena and Bucaramanga are all relatively safe, comparable to some of the more dangerous American cities like Atlanta, Miami, LA, Orlando, Houston, etc. Cali and Medellin and Barranquilla are more dangerous, comparable to Rio, SP, etc.

Colombia is easier to fly to these days.

I think this discussion belongs in another thread though.

[Sean EZ]

I've been to Colombia 4 or 5 times: Cartagena/Medellin/Bogota you've got nothing to worry about any more than you would in Panama or Mexico. That wasn't my question though.

[MJG Dogs]

Crime rate and poverty rates are off the charts. the darling of the left, Chavez has caused a drain of the middle and upper classes, whom are leaving Venezuela. I don't know about racism against darker skin people on the rise in venzuela, if anything I would think that the racism would be diretced at the fairer white skinned peoples of Venezuela, for they represent the upper classes, the people whom hate Chavez and the people whom Chavez steals from.

Caracas is very dangerous. Colombia is a much better option, except watch your ass in Cali and Bogota especially.
