The city isn't that close to the Colombian border (a bit over 100 Kms, in fact).

Posts: 71How to get Maracaibo?
It seems no flight to the city. Cross border from Colombia sounds too exotic.

The problem is safety, exchanging money, and provide good girls.
In Colombia, Medellin, some people set up such a hotel that cater for people that want a safe, good time.
They are still in business, so many years after they started out.
You would not even need a hotel.
If you could provide a service / honest contact for exchanging money, and getting a phonebook with numbers to good female providers, you would not have to wait to long before you had your first visit here from the forum.
(seriously, at 10 USD for 2 hours, people would start taking que -numbers, once the rumour of a safe "get in-have fun, and then safe get back out" have been verified by senior members.
Its really a no-brainer at that price.
Think about it. / Ken Apples.

Sounds like a winner to me!
Can anyone comment on places like Merida, Puerto Ordaz, Santa Elena, and Ciudad Bolivar?

Coincidentally, thanks to my contact I'll be doing business with this young lady (BTW that's the pic sent to me by the "madame" who manages the escort service) at noon, will see if I can snatch some pics for the forum.

In contrast, the second Venezuelan city in that sad list is Valencia, with a murder rate of 71.08 per 100 K people. Still pretty bad, but you can already see the tremendous difference, between Caracas and the rest of the country. Furthermore, my city, Maracaibo, has a murder rate of 35.44 per 100 K. Still not good by any means, but it's below american cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and New Orleans in that list.

Posts: 166MaraCucho. You got a golden opportunity here.
MaraCucho, thanks for adding info to the Venezuelan thread.
If you keeps writing good info (and posting some photos just like below) you will in quite short time be upgraded to senior member.
Then other senior forum members will be able to contact you (by the forum email service, a benefit that senior members get).
From what I understand from your writing, you are a local, so by helping out travellers, you could charge a fee (like 25-50 usd / day) depending on how much time you spend on helping out practically with "small services" / help.
(black market exchange, safe and reliable escorts, transports, other requests).
That cash would transform into a big pile of local money, on a daily basis.
Moreover, it could buy you some stuff that is hard to get by local currency.
With such a buyers market, and such a high crime-level, you are in a golden position to set up something good, if you play your cards right.
Just a thought.
Greetings, Ken Apples.

The reason I ask is because there is a new airline that just started low cost flights to Caracas -- Dynamic Airways. That will at least get you into and out of the country reliably and inexpensively.
Some brave travellers are taking advantage of the exchange rate, and reporting in their blogs that its ok to go, provided you take certain precautions. But punting entails additional risk. I assume that punting at night in Caracas would be suicide, so I was wondering more about other tourist hot spots, like Merida. In terms of locales of interest, i would find the jungle, like Angel Falls, much more enticing. If all you want is a Carribean beach, there are countless better options.
Just curious. Since forum posters often talk about money and costs, I would have assumed more forum activity.

About being safe or not, one has to understand two things: A) the criminality problem is country-wide, no such a thing as a major city (or even mid-size city) that is really "safe", and B) there is HUGE difference on how bad things are in Caracas and the rest of the country. Caracas is like a war zone, none of the rest of the cities in this country are like that.

For example, the girl in the pic? With the current exchange rate (black market, of course), two hours with her = $8. If you want anal, 10 bucks.
