To Johan and other Foriegn Citizens Venezeula is in a lot of chaos now thanks to there wacky President Chavez. I would use caution in Venezeula just like Columbia. Johan I totally disagree with you on Chavez he is A Pure Asshole commie look at the hats his army all wears pure red. He is throwing Venezeula in to high employment,high crime and police state tactics. Johan I am sure you will be alright in Venezeula but just use extreme caution. I have not against Cuba too It is just Fidel and his cronies the same with Venezeula it is just Commie Chavez and his cronies. Communism is shit My parents country Poland was taking overe by Commies. I am sure Ultima Thule is very against Communism. Chavez also supports terrorists and the FArc in Columbia. Sorry Jackson but I had to be the first too mention this about commie Chavez No one else will post anything on this piece of shit. Johan I am very dissapointed on you. One thing on tom another subject two times I have tryed Venezeulan food in Lima Peru in this restaraunt that does not exist anymore Damn the Venezeulan food is good but strong weak hearts should stay away from Venezeulan food it is very rich. Also to another subject what other country has a high percentage of Venezeulan sex workers???????? ThanXXX,Nibu P.S. Let Freedom Ring....

To Johan and others yes Chavez is A total Nutcase Carter did not solve nothing at all recently in V. Look at the problems they are having now in the news again. O: K This is a sex guide not politics but look at www.newsmax.com In THe Latin America Section. Sorry Jackson We Can not let these Hot Cuteys live under a Commie DictatorSHIT,,,, NIBU R....

nibu & Johan: Let's focus on chicas/ticas/....

A good question would be -- How are policies of the current regime in Venezuela impacting on free-market pricings of indies :)

Hi yes we should focus on the babes for sure. Wow wird that newsmax.com had a more mellower story on Chazez. Johan I would compare Chvez to Lenin and no problem Fidel to Marx. Bush yes Hitler he is turning the USSA more in to a Police State just like his papa New World Order George senior. Yes I know Jackson this is about sex not politics but this Clown Chavez is an embarresment to South America he must go. Yes Johan it sucks that Mister Piece of Shit Bush is going to attack Husein again more problems and Paranoia to thw world now. This fucking sucks. O.K. on to the sex stuff I heard Brothel hourly like motels exist mostly in Caracas called Love Motels. Can anyone give me info on them PLEASE??????? I heard Venezeula is up there expensive in prices like Chile,Uruguay and The French Guiana. Yes I would like to know in depth how Chavezs Nutty Castro regime is affecting now Venezeula. Carcass Ed What happened to you? Can some one who is a Venezeulan answer on all this? You know when Chavez first ran for president in Venezeula the other Presidental canidate running against him was an Ex Female Miss Universe. Remember too Venezeula is like 3rd with Oil Resources and now in the hands of A Terrorist regime. Remember where they caught the corrupt Intelligence coridinater of Peru in Venezeula Montesinos???????? So The Story goes Johan You are great dude but again your POLITICS SUCK,,,,,, NIBU R.....

HI city dude,

what is a "tica"??? is that some extra version of a extra horny chica??? hahahahahaahah
sure hope with BB and tits and ready to cock and roll....;-)
ok you're right.

Johan.

Johan Ticas are girls from costa Rica. Hope This JG dude does not post here. Why would he bother on this forum if he has so much cash. I am not one of those Greedy US Dudes Hell no,,,, NIBU...

Johan dude see the new update on Loco Chavez in the Latin America section on www.newsmax.com Pretty Scary Shit.....

Johan another new update on Loco Chavez in www.newsmax.com dated for july 29th. Seems like another Coup is now again planned against him. Carter Failed with him very bad too yeh I heard The elections in Brazil are in October let us all hope Chavezs looney pal does not win the elections in October in Brazil.....

hey fellow mongers. i have a quick question for anyone: i'm going to be in curacao in october, and wanted to take a ferry over to venezuela to check out the chicas. should i get over to caracas, or is there a town where the curacao ferry brings you to that has some hot chicas, pro or non-pro? any info would be greatly appreciated! -jstem33

Hi jstem33 I would suggest you visit Coro or Punta Fico both are close to Curacao and far better than Caracas I have been to both places and there are bars with women looking for men especially gringos. I am sorry I cannot give you any names as it was 2 years since I was there but things will still be the same I have been twice to other parts of Venezuela this year and if anything with the exchange rate now you will get more pussy for your money. If you get in a taxi and ask for fucky fucky or donde esta chicas? he will take you no problem.

Hey Johan Check out the friday october 11th section of www.newsmax.com in the Latin America section huge crowds demand ouster of Chavez. I also have heard that Lula in Brazil does not even want to be compared to Chavez.

Nibu,

I guess you're right. When lefties win this usualy mean a couple of things regarding our hobby.
1) More instable politics
2) Less hookers in the long run as they want to abolish all pro-action (see Cuba!!!)
3)More people getting desperate to get out and getting ready to rob forreigners in order to gain money!!(which is needed to get out;-)

Guess situation is getting even further away from stability in Venezuela.
Also in Bolivia and in Brasil lefties will come into power!
Situation in Peru,Paraquay,Uruqauy and Ecuador seems a bit weary,but in those countries also it is still NOT stable enough.

I guess if Argentina not soon gets it's act together there also will be lefties that will come into power;-)

One crazy,charismatic army officer is enough to lit the fire!!

Johan.

Yeh Johan man like 3 updates on Chavez now in www.newsmax.com Lot of Chaos still in Venezeula. I heard like now also like on every block in centro Caracas two army soldiers to the block. I think Ecuador just had elections. Wow Sucks Bolivia is going socialist too maybe. Peru,Paraguay,Uruguay and Argentina unstable seems like Chile is the leader but Lagos in Chile is a socialist anyways. Man Who knows Dude A lot of unstability in SA Now....

Hey guys,

I live in Caracas and it's not that bad. You just avoid the usual areas and you'll be fine..

Shit ya all check out the letter Henry Hyde wrote to Bush on October 28th in www.newsmax.com Latin America section. I guess the Evil Axis Of Chavez/Castro and Lula are coming to reality. Next is A Commie coming to Elections in Ecuador. Johan did yo say Bolivia is now leftist? Zippy Man What do you think of the problems in Socialist commie Venezeula???????

i love venezuela with or without chavez for the people are incredible. in my opinion, chavez is just an irrational socialist who doesn't seem to like anyone. he seems like a child having a meltdown during every speech. but you know what? he was elected with nearly 80% of the vote in 1998 so venezuelans are just going to have to deal with him for now.

Yeh Zippy But Why are so many people demonstrating against this Fidel Castro Imposter???? Man How Dangerous are the streets of Venezeula getting because of this nutcase? Like I said in the Caracas Post this Creep pisses me off At least Lefty Lula seems more sincere but Chavez is so arrogant with his marxist attitudes. How is he affecting the Sexhunting scene in Venezeula? Got to Go Zip PLEASE Tell me And Zip Why are your Extreme Buds being such Dicks to me Fuck them if they can not handle my daring sex reports what Babies WSG RULES 1 # Forever. Jackson you rule Absolutley the best sex site for Prostitution, Yours Truly NIBU R..........................

Hey Wedsday Nov. 20th Troops prevent ClaSh In Caracas www.worldtribune.com Zippy What the Hell is going on in CHAVEZ LAND??????????

Same shit, different day here in Caracas. A lot of mass hysteria going on. The middle and upper class Venezolanos are all quite pissed off because Chavez decided to TAKE OVER control of the civilian police force with the (Chavez-loyal) National Guard. Everyone is expecting something to happen soon (but it seems we're always waiting with the exception of last April 11th). Perhaps another coup? A civil war? Will Venezuela morph into another Colombia with the country divided between the gov. and rebels? Nobody seems to know for sure but it sure is an interesting place to live in these times. Something new every day.

The sex scene is hit or miss in Caracas and expensive for anything of quality. I mean, it's better than nearly everywhere in the US (which isn't difficult). It's a much better place for non-pros but like with all non-pros, they take time and work (and I'm sure the people her would rather hear about the pros). I don't think Venezuela is worth a trip just for P4P action. Colombia is/was much better IMHO. I have numerous friends in Colombia and I, personally, am not afraid to journey to the cities (specifically Cartagena, Medellin, Cali). If you're a first time traveler to Colombia and/or speak no Spanish you shouldn't go in my opinion.

Do Us citzens need a Visa to enter Venezeula???

You are given a 30 day tourist visa automatically at the airport in Caracas for Americans. You need no advance paper work...

Thanks Bro I am now thinking of my next trip to Caracas or Medellin Columbia......

I heard some nasty rioting is going on in caracas.....

even some people got killed:-(

This sucks.
It doesn't make venezuela a good place to travel.

Wonder how long Chavez will hold up the theatre.
Lula down in Brasil seems a bit smarter......

Johan.

It wasn't a riot. What happened is that 3 anti-Chavez protestors were at a rally in Plaza Francia when a group of Chavistas allegedly opened fire, killing them (28 injured). Mark my words- something is going to happen soon- either a violent coup to oust Chavez or more attacks on the opposition....

Whats up with all the Military in Venezeula protecting all the gas stations? Still lot of Venezeulns pissed off at El Loco. I doubt he will lose power he is Fidel Castros stooge. I too am deciding my next trip Venezeula or columbia Two fucked up places. Zippy and Johan your inputs on Venezuela verse Columbia? Or Maybe it is Columbia verse Caracas and El LOco Chavez????

Man Check out www.newsmax.com for dec. 11th in the general section El Loco Has Fucked up the country even more. ZIppy are you alright??????

Hey also check out 12-11-12 www.rense.com on the situation in Venezeula....EL Loco Is winning FUCK HIM.....

nibu,guys.

Situation in Colombia AND venezuela is rapidly getting out of hand.
Right now I surely do NOT advise any of you to go to Colombia.
Venezuela MIGHT still be a place to score a pretty lady but I guess Caracas is OFF LIMITS as the people more and more stand up against Chavez.
Wouldn't be surprised if he proclaimed the emergency situation there......;-)

I reckon that guys will have to focus on other latin countries for good action and pussies.
Brasil,Peru,DR and Argentina seem very good alternatives for for pro and non-pro action.

my two € cents.


Johan.

Yeh Johan I would have to agree with you on that. I here that the prices for gas in the US might rise cause of these problems in Venezeula. Zippy Man Dude Can you post us info on What The Fuck is going on in Chavezland? What does the situation look like for 2003 and definetly going past 2003 in to 2004 and 2005??? Man this seems like some pretty scary shit. SA Is in for some serious problems in the near future. Zip. Is the travel advisory for US Citizens still in affect in Venezeula? How is the Economy going now cause of all thse problems now in Venezeula? Is it then now cheaper to travel in Venezeula for North Americans and Europeans? Will Chavez Then turn the currency around? I doubt dollarization since he hates thev US. See Johan Man I told you aqbout this a long time ago And Boy Was I Right,,,, NIBU R...

New Updates on El Loco for jan. 6 and jan. 8th www.newsmax.com

Seems to me that Venezuela is very quite right now.
Maybe it is not a bad idea to go there.
I know lots of pretty colombian ho's there:-)
Also lots of *****houses:-)

Can anyone tell me what the rate of inflation is??

What about general rates of inland flights??

How's the wheater in end october/beginning of November??

regards,

Johan.

Govt est rate of inflation - 35%
Private estimates - 45%+

inland fights will roughly be between $100-200US round trip depending on where you are flying. (e.g. Caracas-Merida is about $165). Those prices are "dollarized".

End of Oct, beginning of Nov is end of "rainy season". But rain here tends to come and go quickly. Weather is similar year round.
Hi 85 day, low 72 night

Thanks Catire,

85-72..??? Would that be 30 -22 degrees Celsius? Seems just fine to me.

Do you have special places that gringos MUST see?

As for myself I would like to avoid Caracas and Isla Margarita;-)
I know two grils in Maracaibo. LP travelguide tells me Maracaibo seems rhater dull for tourits.
BTW the flight rates are reasonable....comparing with the quite expensive rates in Peru:-)
Do you expect any mayor uprisings in the nearby future regarding Chavez etc.etc?????

Johan.

correct re temps. Caracas is famous for its "eternal spring", though locals say it has gotten several degrees hotter in the last decade.

special places that gringos must see?
that depends on what your tastes are.

Salto Angel is probably a must see. A trip to Roraima and Los Llanos.

Orinoco basin can also be interesting if you´re into that sort of thing.

Buy a Lonely Planet book and decide for yourself.

do I expect "major uprisings"?

No. But violence might flare up in specific locations, especially if the govt succeeds in significantly delaying or blocking Chavez´s upcoming revocatory referendum.

I am thinking of trying a LA country next Feb.

Can any one tell me which country in South or central America would be best over all.
I prefer the lighter skinned out going Latin types. Also prefer a semi pro.

Where would be best for non pros?

I tried Rio a few years ago. The women were great but a bit too pro like. Not that cheap either.

Is Feb a good time?

I was thinking of Colombia or Venezuela.

Thanks in advance

Dude. you need to get your story straight.

you are looking for non pros and you went to RIO??

the place is overrun with sex starved overpaying Americans and the women there are eager to please and make a lot of money for local standards.

A good girl won't be seen within a half mile of most monger places in Copacabana. She also won't be seen with a foreigner, because everyone will assume she is a HO, and what girl wants everyone around her to think that?

lighter skinned, Colombia and Venezuela should work.

Big dividing line in Venezuela between ho and NON ho.

the semi pro you refer to is difficult to find (unless you can seduce a hooker, it's been done)

picking up non pros (and pros if you want to make her "semi") depends on your looks, skills, attitude and Spanish.

If you look like Brat Pitt, I am sure you will do very well.

If you look like Jabba the Hut, stay with Rio and the sure thing.

Catire

Sorry if I was unclear.
Rio was some years ago just for a holiday. Not to find a women. I just mentioned I had been there as it's in SA.

Is not speaking Spanish a very big problem?

Maybe if I stick to the cities. I thought maybe a week in Caracus and a week in Bogota.

Are they the best bets in SA would you say?

I thought about BA, but the reviews are very mixed.

I was looking for the lighter skinned Latinos (Cuban type) who are more semi pro.

I am 30, OK looking and not over weight etc.
I heard that dark hair and blue eyes is an advantage. But it's only what I heard.

yes, not speaking Spanish can be a very big problem.

How do you plan on communicating? especially if you are looking to get outside of the pure hooker/john commercial sex setting?

People speak Spanish in cities too. Yes, some people speak English, but you won't find them by walking around and asking who does and who doesn't.

Buenos Aires is a plastic, commercial (mostly escort,escort service) scene that before their currency crash commanded some of the most preposterous pricing on the planet. I suppose it's a bit better now, but not my cup of tea. I suppose some guys like it and good for them.

the P4P scene in Caracas I can't really say would be much better. Also very commercial. You need to live there to break thru that a bit, or be a frequent visitor with good Spanish.

Normal girls are easy and great to meet in Venezuela. But don't count on getting laid. You might, but it's better girlfriend than playfriend territory.

Ditto for Colombia. Your lack of Spanish is going to kill you in regards to what you seek.

Otherwise, I'd say give Cali, Colombia a shot but don't get yourself killed or captured by FARC.

actually, the easiest to get what you seek might be in the place you mention - Cuba itself.

But these days, with the crackdown and casa restrictions, the line there between pro and non is sharper than ever.

but with Spanish you could conceivably nagivate thru that too.

Blue eyes a big plus. Blonde hair better than dark. Makes you that much more unique.

I didn't use Brad Pitt as an example just because he is universally considered attractive. In countries like Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil he would be "God".

Catire
Thank you.

I went to Havana about a year ago and did get laid with a non-pro, but on my last night. A lot of girls there spoke English, but there were very few girls about as you said. Not too much fun.

I can only go by what I have read but BA prices sounded OK. I also read that about a third speak English and the female to male ratio is 7. It seemed like a place were you could have some fun at the same time.

From the photos from Cali the girls there did not really seem my type.

As for the p4p scene do many girls speak English?
As for a GFE with the pros/semi where would you suggest?

Some say the Argentinians are snobbish, others say they are great.

I wanted a city where there is good night life, a chance to meet a non pro, but with an OK choice of pros.

I read of a place in Caracus called Daddy Latinos. Some girls there were stunning.
Any idea how much they go for?

I have just found that in most cities there are always better clubs where the better educated girls hang out, that often do speak English. Is it possible that as you speak Spanish all the time there are more English speakers than what you notice.
Thought of trying 2 cities as I am that far over.

As an over all quality of girls where would you say.

I don't mind paying a bit more.

Thanks again

Travelmen,

Medellin Colombia may be a place you might want to check out.
The chicas generally have lighter skin and different look than the Calenas ... beautiful. I actually like the dark skin chicas but still am amazed at the beauty of the Paisas (Medellin chicas).

In the higher class area ... called Poblado, the people are more educated and therefore easier to find english speakers ... but they are also more of a "higher maintenance" type.

See www.colombiansweethearts.com / www.colombianloveconnection.com

Websites from friendship agencies in Medellin. Has photos of typical chicas in Medellin. Also maybe a good way for you to find chicas since I think you said you don't speak spanish.

Good luck.

Ricker has a good idea re: Medellin.

I am surprised you found that many English speakers in Cuba. Almost shocked.

yes, in many Latin cities, the educated classes will speak English. How well, and whether they will be willing to speak it with you is a differen story altogether. You are correct, since I am unwilling to speak English period when out and about, there might be some/many who I don't notice that can speak it.

I usually avoid English speakers like a plague (among hookers that is and don't particularly favor it among regular girls)

DadisLatino is a great place. Go on Thursday night, that is Ladies night and when the coolest crowd comes out.

but dude, your question of "how much would they go for" is a bit preposterous.

These girls are NOT hookers! It's a normal club. If you can pick up a chick and take her to a love motel, then good for you but mistaking girls for hos there could land you in serious trouble.

Hookers don't go to places like Dadis. Well, actually sometimes they DO (on their nights off) but then they are NOT looking for clientele. They are normal girls on those nights.

Besides, knowing which one girl out of 20 is a hooker out partying is far beyond my powers of comprehension. Maybe you can do better but I' wouldn't bet on it.

if you are a late late night person, most hookers go to the two after hours places in Chacaito. (after they get off work). THose places often go until at least noon if not later. Lots of drugs. Interesting people watching. You can give that a try but not sure that would be your scene

p.s. meeting penpals and girls from Colombia before you come is VERY VERY easy. However, I find that approach disingenous, since most girls assume you are looking for something at least halfway serious and you are treated as such. If you can navigate those waters while feeling comfortable (I cannot) then I might recommend that as well.

Catire, Ooops my mistake:

I read that hookers hang out in the VIP room at Daddys.
I attached a pic from there. They are the women that I would go for. Would that type be available for p4p?
If so how much?
Would English speakers go to Daddy's?

Yes, that would be more my scene, but not up till noon though.
I don't know what time the hookers end up there.

Thanks Ricker: I still prefer the Caracus (and BA) girls though. But can see why guys like them.
Also Columbia sounds a bit risky at the moment.

Between Columbia and Caracus, (and BA) which are the more out going (wilder) girls. Ones you can buy them a beer, go to a club, have fun with etc?

One last time Q, what time of year is best to go. Is the rainy season that wet? I thought then it may be less touristy?

As for Cuba. Maybe I was lucky. This club I went to it seemed that only the 'higher class' single women were let in. I met a lovely one just as I was about to leave.
The cheap rum helps also.

I take it you guys are not too keen on the BA chics?
Sound like an exciting city though.

Where did you read that? (hookers hanging out in the VIP room?)

nonsense.

are there hookers there on their nights off? of course.

Can you tell them apart? highly unlikely.

do they congregate together, as "hookers"? nonsense.

are they looking for clients? of course not. It's their night OFF!

the pic you attached is what you will find ALL over the place in Caracas.

I can tell you off the bat, none of those girls in a hooker. I can tell by appearance. UNfortunately, most of the hookers no longer have that fresh face, appearance, etc and are no where near as attractive (you can sometimes get lucky and find an exception)

the hookers will also generally be older than these girls. Those girls in the pic probably aren't many days over 18, if that.

No bigger % of English speakers in Dadis than anywhere else. Like I said, since I refuse to speak English when out, I wouldn't know anyways.

If you want non pros, get yourself a younger Venezuelan guy to take out out and around. (hopefully bilingual). he can make the proper introductions and put you in the best possible situation to have success. The rest will be up to you.

All the hooker joints close up by 5 am. by 5:30, and certainly by 6 am, the after hours places are already crowded.

I read it on the world sex archives.
It said after 1am the VIP room is packed with high end escorts.
So I just assumed it was a hooker joint.

The picture attached is supposed to be a hooker called Gloria.
But if you say it is not, I shall not argue.

Can you just advice on the best time of year to visit?
I may have to go in the rainy season. Is that 'realy' wet.

Out of interest, why do you not speak English, and avoid English speakers? Is that the norm in Caracus.

But how do I find a Caracus guy to show me around.

I do like the sound of Caracus and the people.

How do the girls compare to Columbians?

I am tempted to try BA and Caracus.
Are you from Caracus.

Many thanks

WELL!!!!!

if you read it on the world sex archives then it MUST be true, right?

after all, the place is full of people who know Venezuela, right?


you go right ahead, and go there at 1 am, get into the vip room (it's not that easy) and tell me how the upper end hookers are, ok?)

rainy season means short intense periods of rain, rather than rain all the time like in Costa Rica.
So it's not an issue most of the time.

I don't speak English and avoid English speakers because the language of the country is Spanish. I am not there to speak English and to meet English speaking people. I can do that in the United States.

how do you find someone to show you around ? well - good question. You'll have to be friendly, outgoing and perhaps "roll the dice", wont you now?

p.s. That girl could be a hooker. WHo knows? note the tit job. Perhaps it's the angle but it looks a little bigger than the usual ones they get. Certainly a great looking girl.

And yes, she could have very well been hanging out in the VIP are of Dadis. But was she "working"?? I doubt it.

One easy way to tell is to look at the MEN inside the VIP room. You won't find too many guys in there who look like they are with their high end hooker dates (and can afford them) , UNLESS, it's her real life boyfriend!

I didn't know if it was true, as I was none the wiser.

Obviously the guy got it wrong.

I think I shall give Caracus a go. I'm away for a few days so I shall get some brochures.
Maybe during the rainy season it will be cheaper and quiter too.

I read that Feb is a no no as it's carnival. So if I don't go then it will be in the rainy season.

So how do you get into the VIP room?
I would not want to go clubs and then find I can't get in.

Many thanks for your kind help.
Perhaps I could buy you a beer if I make it over.

You still think BA is not worth it. I read there's 7 women to each guy. (Just what I read though :)

Travelmen,

I live about a third to half each month in Medellin, Colombia and I love Colombianas.

I have visited Caracas, usually for work, for many years. I really don't know the city that well as far as best discos, etc because I usually hit the same places and hang with the same Venezuelan friends and I'm usually in for just a night or two at a time.

I can say for sure though ... I have never seen a higher percentage of beautiful women in one area than in Caracas.
If you hit Sambil mall at a peak period, you will simply be amazed at the beauty. Actually, I have been at Sambil at all hours, and even in the slow times there are very hot women around.

Colombia definitely has it's beautiful women but for sheer numbers and percentages, I have to admit ... Caracas is numero uno.

Colombia though ... in my experiences, correct me if I'm wrong Catire ... has a much better PFP scene. Easier to find, more places and cheaper.

I also like to speak only Spanish when I'm in these latin countries. Like Catire said, if you want an English speaker, go to the USA ... and a lot of times if the latina speaks English ... she's a "gringa wannabe". (actually most of the time).

My personal rules for dating latin women in Latin America. Others may think it's nuts but it works for me.

1) If they speak English, especially really well .... forget it.
2) If they want to go live in the USA ... forget it.
3) If they come from a family with money ... forget it. (alert alert ... high maintenance). In my experiences, the chicas that appreciate every Bolivar / Peso , etc are the best.

I don't live most of my life in the US these days because I can't stand the average Gringa type. My home base when I'm in the US to earn the $$$ is Miami and most of the latinas there are semi-gringas.
Therefore ... I definitely don't live / visit these other Latin American cities to find "gringa wannabes"

Believe me .... if you learn the Spanish language, and it doesn't have to be perfect ... many doors to latina pussy will open. Even the time with pros will be greatly enhanced if you speak the language.

I have mongered and dated non-pros for years ... both before and after learning spanish. A world of difference!!!!

I speak far from perfect Spanish but the chicas absolutely love that they I can communicate. And they really dig the cute accent and love to help with your Spanish. It's fun.

Anyway sorry for rambling ... just friendly chatter. Also, no big deal really but it's spelled Caracas / Colombia. You're using to many "U" s .

Good luck ... Suerte!

Hi Ricker

I spent about a week in South Beach and was amazed how Spanish it was. I could not believe I was in the US.

I did have an Argantinian there who was pretty good.
I could not believe the male to female ratio. Seemed about 4 to 1.

I shall have to learn some Spanish.
The only problem with visiting is you don't have the time to find a good one, date her etc. By the time/if you get laid it's time to go.

At least the p4p is a sure thing. Mostly.

The 'Caracas' (no u's) are more my type. They just seem a lot more womanly if you see what I mean.
I agree about the girls wanting a gringo are bad news. I went to Russia where a lot will mary you there and then.
After a year their gone though. Passport.
But when you are not in a country for long, it does limit your options. So if it costs me a bit more, so be it.

Still tempted with BA. Any thoughts there.
Then Columbai is not too far away.

How safe is Columbia at the moment?

Many thanks

Travelman,

Are you saying there are 4 guys to every female in South Beach? I was planning on going, but it looks like I'll cancel that trip. If it is the other way around, please let me know. I thought that I had heard it was full of ladies, just the typical more gringa type.

Thanks for the info.

Travelmen,

To be honest, I've never been to BA. Can't give you a good report there. I do know that the chicas I know from Argentina here in Miami are a lot more of the "stuck up" type then say any other latina type.
I may visit BA one day, but it's hard to pull myself from Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Brazil, DR.

Really don't want to risk losing a week or so in country where I hear is beautiful but lots of "uptightedness" (new word).

Too much fun to be had elsewhere.

As far as Colombia goes ... I love it! Cartegena is a good spot to hit first ... smaller, more secure overall.
The other cities are safe enough in Colombia ... never, ever leave the city to visit the pretty mountains though (my opinion).

Colombia would be a good place to be able to speak a little spanish at least before venturing ... don't need it but with security concerns ... it definitely helps.

Also, try vacationing in the same city several times in a row. When you meet that "perfect chica" on the last day of a trip, you can email and call her and let her know "regreso pronto mi amor ... siempre pienso en ti" (I'm returning soon my Love ... I always think of you).
Another good reason to monger / hangout in cities closer to your home base: USA, Canada, etc.

By the way ... Nice job on cancelling the "U"s

Suerte!

By the way, except for looking at hot chicas, I hate South Beach.
Way too many "look at me" , "I'm the coolest MF on the planet" type people.

Pick any major city in S. America ... I'll take it over South Beach baloney.

Just my humble opinion.

Suerte!

Well I threw a dart at the map again and I may be off to Maracay Venezuela. Where is it and what is in Maracay for fun possibilities?

Thanks Ricker.

Good info. I am checking flights etc now.
I am actually working in the middle East at the moment so South America will be a one off visit.
Even from the UK (where I'm from) it is still a trip and a half.

That is why non pros is not such a good option.

Mojokpr:

I expect Ricker can tell you.

LOads of guys. Just getting into a club is impossible with out a women.

As Ricker says, the women that are there all seem like wannabee models. But are not models.
But with that ratio, they can afford to be fussy.

Over rated and over priced if you ask me.

Hello everybody

My first post about Venezuela. I have to admit the picture
of "Gloria" post by travelmen made my jaw drop...
Did you took that picture yourself travelmen???
I found this place site so we all can check the grounds
by looking at its pictures. It looks totally non-pro in my
opinion. The address is www.dadys.com
later DWC

No. It was from another site.

Not sure how typical she is of general girls though.

Hi Mongers,

Would you give me an updated in the current conversion of the bolivares against the dollar, the oficial conversion is about 1600 Bs per Dollar, but I know that this is more in the black market. A friend of mine is going to Caracas in two weeks and he needs this information.

Thanks a lot
for any help.

Travelmen
Do you mind sharing the site where you found "gloria?

Hola companeros,

Can anyone give me the rundown on non-pro Venezolanas? What are Venezuelan women generally like? I know the question is general but I've struck up a long-distance relationship with a chica in Caracas and am wondering how/if Venezuelan women differ/compare to Cubanas y Colombianas.

Thanks

The current black market rate is 2400 bolivars to 1 usd. Watch out for some fakes. The better places to change money is at a cambio house, or a restaurant or jewler.

Hi Friends!

Do you know of any recreational and informative website about Venezuela, in particular generalist forums (i.e., not devoted to the hobby)?

The thing is I have to get to know the country, as I am to settle in there soon. Thank you.

Regards,
LDP

hi fellas,

anyone experience with agencies in venezuela. Couldn't find one myself ...maybe I just was too lazy.

Indeed I am hooked on these latinas forever...so it seems.

Besides some mongering a search for a good decent wife (if there are any left???) couldn't hurt.

OO well.....that's maybe the romantic in me.

Ciao Y mucho suerte para todos aqui.

Johan

did anyone tried this site????

Looks very glossy/pricey to me.

Hi Guys,

I have been to Brasil and love Brasileiras. But I also like the pics I have seen on sexycaracas.

Can someone give me a ballpark on cost comparing Brasil (say Rio or Sao Paulo) to Caracas?

If I have two weeks I would definitely go to Brasil. But I may take a week vacation soon so I thought, maybe I will check out Caracas. However, if Caracas is twice as expensive as Brasil, I might pass. Disregard airfare in your cost comparison. I speak conversational spanish so I would expect to be able to entertain any chica and I am prepared to insist on paying in local currency if that is the recommended way to get a better deal. I believe, based on the engish vs spanish version of sexycaracas that they take you to the cleaners if you agree to the US$ prices.


Thanks in advance.

Two years ago, I travelled to Sao paulo, in business trip, I stayed In Consolaçao street, And this was marvelous, I arrived around midnite from manaos, and when we left the highway, and started to run in consolaçao, It was like a dream over 500hundred women of all kinds waiting in the street for her one night husband, and believe it was like being in heaven. I had to stay a week and I met (in a sauna) a wonderful woman with a botton like a cadillac back case, she was around 28 years old, I told her to come to the hotel where I was staying with another friend, when she finished her duty time and she apeared next day around 7 o'clock in the morning with a nice blonde, I paid for both US$ 100.oo and we were playing and having fun for over 4 hours, after she that told me, she wanted to go to rio by bus, I only had to paid for the bus, food and room in rio. I tell you all this to make you see the difference, here in venezuela if you go with a pro you'll be with a pro and you have to pay for all, in brasil (like personal exeriences tell me) everything can happens, brasilian women are more dedicate to their husbands when married, they enjoy more the sex and have no complications about it.

Prosbocito

Prosbocito,Guys,

I don't want to bash venezuela on this one because I was never there BUT from what I have seen in the last 2-3 months (on the net) it looks like the ho's in venezuela have MAYOR personality defects.
Personaly I also found Brasil hookers more nice and fun with....ie less 'proffesional". (I was in Fortaleza) However maybe if you go to Rio or SP this probably will change for the worse. In the DR,Panama and Peru I encountered the same. The ho's there (in general) were realy fun to be with,no snotty attitude at all.
I met recently several girls on the net from venezuela and I must say they seem to be quite DEMANDING and very spoild without exceptions!!!
Is it the wheater??? Is it senor Chavez??? or maybe is it the submissive males in venezuela that do just anything to get a piece of ass?? Hell I don't know;but what i do know is that i do NOT like it at all.
Only for THIS very reason I will NOT stay very long in Caracas....let me tell you guys that. Pretty women can be found any place in such countries as venezuela;and for sure if you look halfway decent and speak/understand spanish.

Also the prices (OO Gawd....here we go again) in caracas for pro hookers seem to be on the high end. I mean let's face it......you don't pay a hooker 100-150 US$ an hour...no matter how great she looks! (they nearly ALL look great...so)And for sure not in a country were the average monthly salary is NOT over 150 US Dollars!!!!! IMHO i rather prefer a hooker that looks like a 7 and gives a GREAT performance then a straight 9 that fucks like a dead fish and watches her clock every damn 5 minutes.....

We discussed this a lot on this board and overpaying makes them even more snotty and arrogant as they are allready.
My personal reason for NOT returning to Brasil are simple: my Portuguese skills are very BASIC and i find it way harder to learn as spanish. As I think it's important to speak the girls language.

I hope i will find more nicer girls then what I met sofar on the net....because those seem to be real "baracudas"....

Johan

How much does it cost for 1 hour escort in Caracas?

I mean if you can speak in Spanish quite well.

I am interested in staying 1 month in Caracas.

The best thing is to rent an apartment.

I have found no website to rent an apartment or no email adress to contact somebody who could rent me a furnished small apartment in Caracas.

I am still interested in going there.

Johan,

It is always dangerous to generalize about an entire countries people...

Nevertheless, this is my second trip to Venezuela and on this trip I´ve been here for 5 weeks conducting extensive research on the local female population. To date, I´ve bagged 6 non-pro girlfriends, have several more that I´m still working on, and have sampled the entire p4p scene here in Merida (The rate here is 30k for 1 hr, 40k for 2hrs; the quality varies but there are always at least three to choose from and to date I have always been content) I have traveled extensively in Latin America so feel qualified to speak about the Venezuelan temperment.

Unfortunately, I agree with Johan that the people here, females especially, have a real attitude problem. Generally, women are arrogant, demanding, posessive, and generally worthless. I think it has to do with the countries previous great oil wealth when many went literally from rags to riches and their super pride complex.

Contrast this with the Colombians, who are of a totally different breed of kindness, professionalism, and humbleness. Two countries, so close together, with so much in common but with two very different types of people with very different work ethics.

One needs an iron fist and strong hand in dealing with the ladies here and while the country has much to offer in terms of recreation and easy girls I prefer the temperment of Brazilians or Colombians any day over these Venezuelans when it comes to having anything like a semi-serious girlfriend.

Have no doubts about Perry Mason #1's post. He nails it on the head several times. I was in Venezuela for the entire month of November 2004 on the Eastern region of the country (Oriente) and I can agree with him 100%. Although I've been told that women in that region of the country are more conservative than their counterparts in Caracas, Merida and the region bordering Colombia. I am in the process of planning another trip, I'm not sure if Venezuela is on the top of my list (I'm afraid that Argentina, Brazil and Colombia occupy the firts spots) but if I were to go, I would spend my time in the preferable regions of CCS, Merida and neighboring Andean cities of Venezuela. Just my two centavos worth :)

Out of curiousity ... I read thru some of these more recent posts bashing the Venezolana ... and their attitudes.

I've been visiting / living between Colombia, Venezuela and the USA for some time now ...

In Colombia, I've lived in Cali and Medellin ... with mucho tiempo in Cartagena, Barranquilla and several visits to Bogota.

In Venezuela, my experience is in Caracas, where I've had several girlfriends and Maracaibo, where I've spent a lot of time.

First of all, I have to say ... Johan007 ... you seem like a pretty cool guy ... I've read your posts around this site ... you seem well traveled and experienced.

Please though ... to base your opinion on the Venezolana from several chicas you've talked to on the internet is funny to say the least.

Of course the chicas from 'sexycaracas.com' are asking for mucho money ... but so are chicas on various sites I've seen from Colombia.
In my opinion ... this 'sexycaracas' and othersites like it are last resort chica options ... nice fotos ... but last resort.

I can tell you right now ... as far as normal chicas go .... in both Colombia and Venezuela:

... the upper society chicas ... from better families ... are more snooty of course and can be a pain ...

... but the down to earth chicas ... from humble families ... different story ... BOTH Venezolanas and Colombianas are sweet and hoping to meet a 'sweet' and caring guy ... trust me ... I've met plenty of them.

... In Caracas ... I have never seem so many beautiful chicas per square inch just walking about ... incredible ... if you can approach them nicely ... of course, speak spanish ... they're easy to meet.

... as far as pros go ... in both Maracaibo and Caracas ... in the casas / massage places / strip clubs ... there are very hot chicas working.
These chicas I have found to be very very approachable to meet outside the club for fun ... very loving and sweet.

As a matter of fact ... the high end club in Caracas ... Angelus ... I do this all the time. Never pay the ridiculos prices there ... unless you really need it right then ... but I always sift out the hardened pros that they definitely have there, and find a sweet chica that would like to meet up the next day.

Bottom line is ... Venezuela and Colombia are full of sweet chicas ... yes, they both have the stuck-up, full of themselves types too ... just ignore them and move on to the next.

Learn spanish ... mingle a bit ... you'll be pleasantly pleased.

Suerte!

Just spent 7 days in Venezuela

Very friendly and happy people. People went out of there way to help me. Girls were very nice.

Are there political disagreements? Certainly - talk to a Kerry democrat about Bush and tell me what the difference is. The fact that Venezuelans felt free to tell me publically how they felt - means things aren't that bad. Chavez is a nationalist. Maybe leftwing but most of it is demagogery. Long history in Latin America politics. If you saw the poverty in Caracas and in the villages you would empathize more. Huge gap between rich and poor here. Running water and electricity are luxuries in many places. Economy is booming in oil patches.

I love Venezuela and would come back in a second. Lots of great restaurants, clubs and people. Of course a faster customs line at the airport would be nice.

Very well put amigo ... Chicagoboy ...

I´m in Caracas at this moment ... new girlfriend ... beautiful loving morena ... in looooove again!

Venezuela has it´s problems, yes ... but it´s nice.

I agree with both Ricker and Chicago Boy that Venezuela has some great things to offer the traveler. It is a beautiful country in many respects:

First, The women are beautiful, plentiful, and generally very available. I've fallen in love often while there. My experiences with young and respectful ladies far outweighed my experiences with the psychos and gold diggers.

Second, In addition to the women, the country is amazing in terms of the diverse flora and fauna of the country: Amazing beaches (the Roques not Margarita), tranquil mountain towns (Merida and Tovar) and plenty of jungles to explore.

Third, Venezuela also offers a great bang for the bunk. Prices are very reasonable if not downright dirt-cheap. Especially if you bring in hard currency to exchange on the black market.

Fourth, I also generally feel very secure in Venezuela as opposed to the questionable security situation in Colombia. For instance, this month’s edition of Foreign Policy lists Colombia pretty high on its Failed States index.

Of course, the country has some problems but these rarely have any impact on the traveler. Infastructure issues are on par with many countries in Latin America. Crime is not too much of an issue. And Chavez, despite his inflamatory rhetoric is more talk than action. He is not going to transform Venezuela in to Cuba. In fact despite his leftlist leanings he seems to be against corruption. (How rare is this in Latin American leaders and/or dictators?)

One must walk the ground in order to give an accurate survey of a country. This point is undisputed.

My position was just that I found (perhaps just anecdotally) that there were more women per capita in Venezuela that came with attitude/psychopath/controlling qualities than women I've met in other venues in South America, namely Colombia. I still love Venezuela, I just wanted to see if others had this same experience or if perhaps it was just my own perception.

They are more americanized than girls from Peru or Parugay.

Venezuela is more american than any other country I have been in Latin America.

However the girls are Florida / California HOT !!!!!!!!

I have never seen more drop dead gorgeous 10's in discos, on the street etc.

My experience last year was much different. Though many good looking girls, p4p was not so easy to arrange. Not many clubs catering to mixed crowd of locals and visitors. I prefer many other countries in central/south America than Venezuela. If you live there or visit for longer time you may have more luck.

Any one know visa info for business in Venezuela?

Can I get in the airport?

I will be in Carracas in 2 weeks.

Are there any good business hotel 4 star in Carracas, close to the action?

Fast Eddie 48

No visa is required for US or EC visitors. Please read posts as to hotel situation. I recommend Embassy Suites or Altamira Suites for moderate length stay, but there are many alternatives. Again, RTTFP. I think you know the meaning of this.

Regards, and Be safe

Be there

[blue]Gentlemen,

The purpose of this Forum is to provide for the exchange of information between Men on the subject of finding Women for Sex.

Let's get back to the subject.

Thank You,

Jackson[/blue]

I may have the chance to go to Valencia.

A cursory look revealed nothing on the boards here that I can find.

It appears to be fairly close to Caracs, but Valencia is a large city. There must be some action, right?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

DB

ANY major city in Venezuela has plenty of action but you really need to be up on your Espanol.

Several guys have asked me my opinion on this subject ... I have had numerous novias (girlfriends) from both countries ... still, I don't claim to be an expert.

To be honest with you ... BOTH the Colombianas and the Venezolanas are beautiful ... physically speaking.
If you like a more exotic look, the Venezuelan, in my opinion is generally more exotic looking.

Many have said the Venezolana may be more "stuck-up" than the Colombiana.
In my travels and experiences ... I haven't found this to be true.

Of course the sophisticated Chama (Venezolana) from the "in-crowd" in Caracas may be "stuck-up" and more difficult to approach ... but the same can be said for the Paisia (Colombiana de Medellin) that hangs with her "in-crowd" in el Poblado of Medellin.

I am a simple guy ... I love to traveling both Venezuela and Colombia and meeting the chicas from simple, humble families.

In my opinion, these are the best chicas ... my favorites ... very sweet, adore their man, loving, etc.
They don't expect much and absolutely fall in love with you if you show them kindness too.

In short ... I find these chicas very similar, generally speaking.

I really love Colombia, it is more user friendly now than Venezuela ... for the political climate ... but in Venezuela, there are some wonderful people and beautiful women.

My current girlfriend is in Venezuela ... so I'm there a lot now ... and she's the best I've ever had as far a sweetness goes.

Thanks Ricker,

Just what I wanted to find out. I am trying to decide which place to check out first.

I am Canadian, and i plan to go to Caracass, and maybe other cities.

What is the most economical way of travelling? pkgs or casa particularas?

Better yet can anyone give me a crash course on how much necesities cost down there, from renting rooms to turists / food / car rentals / women? I actually do not plan to do "sex turism" down there, but I just want to be ready if worse comes to worse. (I like the current political system there) I speak a litle spanish (I understand well). Is it english language thought there, etc.?

Any information you can think of will be welcome.

Thank you.

I have a few questions about Venezuela.

I'm planning on visiting Venezuela sometime next year (say June or July) for the Copa America. My main concern is safety and security. How safe/dangerous is Venezuela?

I'm familiar with Brasil and speak fairly fluently portuguese and I can understand Spanish quite well, almost everything. And I love brasileiras, but after viewing some of the pics in here and lately with my Venezuelans friends, I've got more and more interested by this country that I'd like to visit it sometime next year. :D

What would be the best time of the year to visit Venezuela (weather wise and fun-wise)? Specially for a first timer to Venezuela but not to South America.

I'd appreciate your comments, tips and advices.

Muchas Gracias. :)

Hello fella mongers,

Reading this forum is a bit confusing.

My reason for saying this is that it sems that (maby 40%? ) of eweryone here, are or have ben in Venezuela in there work and say Venezuela is good but they vould choose a difrent country if they were on vacation.

I use this forum to find a new paradise and I am interested in Venezuela (but is it a paradise? ).

I done my homework aboute the country (good and bad) and spent days reading this forum but still I am lost.

Some give advises aboute there favorite stripclubs (thats nice) but in another part of the forum they say that Medelin or something else is 10 times better or that Venezuela is just crap.

So my question is what destination do YOU think is best in latin america-- the qestion is for anyone who ben in Venezuela.

I simply can't tell if the venezuela rekomendation comes from someone who is forsed to be there by there company or if they love the country and go ther on vakation (spending there own money).

I love Thailand and Philippines but looking for something new.

Would you prefer or can you compare Thailand/Philippines to Venezuela?

I guess it is more crime and more dificulty to pic up non pros, but still I love senioritas and I like to practise my slim spanish.

Any help on this matter is mighty apreshiated.

(sorry for my bad writing)

I talked with some venezuelan people in my town.

They told me that the situation is not good: too much violence, thieves and many other bad things.

In particular, they told me this situation is favourite by Chavez.

I would like to know, if I can walk and where in caracas. I will stay there for few days because then I will go to Los Roques.

Thanks

you can read my reports, venezuela is beautiful, but not worth going just for the chicas. too dangerous. myself and two friends had are credit cards copied and used. i only used mine 8 times, four hotels, two travel agents, one airport shop and one beach shop.
go to colombia, brazil or argentina!!!

Caracas is a difficult city to figure out in a short period of time. Safe hotels are expensive relative to other Latin American cities. The rest of Venezuela is cheaper and safer than Caracas, but with limited foreign tourism infrastructure outside of Margarita, it too can be hard to manage. Venezuela is a great place for visitors who have time and like a challenge. Otherwise, it's not worth the hassle.

How do the young non-pro chicas feel about older men? I know in Colombia, DR or even Brazil guys in their 50's could easily bang or even marry 20 yr olds, especially if he lived there. But after reading about Venezuela I get the impression its impossible and is much like in the states.

That is the queston?
I only feel old in the US.
Although I am not young, the few places I did visit, I did not feel like an old man, which maybe I am. The Chicas made me feel young. What is the question? Don't go to Venezuela. That is the answer.
BA in October is the answer for now or maybe South East Asia.

Older guys can find younger women in Venezuela. It takes time and effort with middle and upper class girls. Easy with lower class girls if you speak Spanish. But, like everything in Venezuela, it's easier elsewhere.

I'd say stick with Colombia/brazil. It sounds like VZ is not the place for a man my age to be looking to bang some 20 yr old non-pro. Not unless you lived there anyway.

Hi guys,

I´m thinking if going to Latin America later this year - I still have vacation time left over from last year… I´m looking at late October / early November. Anyway, it´ll be my first time there and the trip will be about 2 weeks.

Now my question. Where should I go - Cuba, DR, Colombia or Venezuela? I have read most of the forum reports on these four countries (well, “only” the ones from 2005 & 2006 actually), and I think I have a good idea what to expect in the different places. Btw, I would I´d like to thank all you guys who post such great reports!

Before someone tells me “Brasil”: I´ll probably go there in 2007 – a Brazilian friend of mine is getting married next year and has invited me to come visit. So I am not going now.

I should mention that I speak Spanish fluently – I´ve been to Spain quite often in the past two years, mostly on business, but some fun also. See my posts in the Spain section (February 2006). I´m 35 y.o.

After reviewing the info, these are my impressions – please correct me if I´m wrong in your opinion, feel free to give your advice or point of view!

(1) Cuba: the scene seems to be much slower than a few years ago. Stories of hassles, crackdowns etc. Also I don't like police-states, communist or other, so I guess I´ll pass on Cuba – even though cubanas (the ones I know in Spain) are very fine.

(2) Venezuela: many people seem to complain it´s gotten too expensive & that p4p-action is too “professional” (in the negative sense), no gfe etc. Is that accurate?

(3) DR: some areas over-touristed, but others less so. Many positive reports. Crime less a problem than in Venezuela or Colombia.

(4) Colombia: many good reports. Cartagena vs. Medellin or Cali? Safety could be an issue (?), but I´m not a scared person normally. I guess as long as you do as the locals do & keep your wits about it should be ok.

Right now, I´m leaning to either DR or Colombia. I´d love to do both, but in 12-14 days it´s probably not practical. Anyway, thanks for all the info, hope this post was not too long or too boring.

Felipe2006

I know both Venezuela and Colombia fairly well. I've had plenty of real girlfriends in each.

IMHO ... as far as non-pro Chicas go ... Venezuela vs Colombia ... really, I have found no difference in attitude between the 2 countries in whether or not younger girls like older men.

In both countries, the more in the upper level of society, the more the girls date guys closer to their own age ... in general.

There are many factors It's obvious, as to whether a younger non-pro will like you, date you / sleep with you, etc. ... Venezuelan, Colombian, Brazilian, Peruvian, etc ... LATINA.

If you're an older guy ... are you in decent shape, is your attitude young, are you a cool guy, do you speak spanish, can you smooth talk a women, etc ... these types of factors are very important

Also, obviously, the higher society chicas are harder to crack ... these types of chicas can be very stuck up ... I've seen it prevalent in Caracas as well as Medellin.
In Barranquilla, Colombia for example, the chicas in general are more happy go lucky than in Medellin .... The same can be said for the chicas in Maracaibo vs Caracas, Venezuela.

Lastly, yes of course ... due to the political climate now ... Colombia is a much easier country to visit.
Having said that, I must say though, that for my tastes, Caracas has the most beautiful women per square inch than I've ever seen ... amazing.
However, I find Colombia much more tranquilo at the moment.

mucha suerte amigos!

Thanks Ricker I think it's safe to say from lower to middle class is where we should be aiming not upper class chicks. I hope the women in VZ are as hot as you say because I have seen photos around the internet and the board. Frankly they don't look all that great. Look for pictures on Colombia and there are thousands of hot women.

Can anyone tell me about the coost of living in Venezuela? I stated in another thread that I am retiring and have considered VZ a possible destination. I can go up to £2,000 a month. Is that enought to live an upper class and for my pro and non-pro mongering needs?

Venezuela has very hot chicas ... no doubt!

Here's a small example of some ex-novias de Venezuela.

Take care.

Suerte!

Ricker thanks for the info. I believe the only way a older guy is going to be really sucessful is if he lives in Caracas and has cash.

On average are the chicas in VZ alittle lighter then the ones in Colombia. I like my chicas tanned but not dark either if you know what I mean.

I agree if the guys lives there and has money he can ace espcially ace the middle class babes. Not sure about the upper class ones though. I took like em lighter. Does anyone know about the cost of living?

Strange how the VZ forum is so dead.

Is there any othee place we can get info on VZ?

Stick with Colombia. VZ seems too dangerous and I hear the chicks in colombia are better looking on average then VZ chicks.

Felipe2006[/QUOTE]Felipe,

I have also spent a lot of time in Latin America and have had several girlfriends in or from almost every country except . . . Venezuela. I do find that the Venezolanas are probably the only boring and/or stiff people south of Tiajuana. And Caracas is a really dangerous city. The women are stunning but the beauty pagent, kept women culture is a turnoff.

I have had Cuban, Chilean, Brazilian, Peruvian, Argentine and Central American girlfriends and la colombiana is the best. Well educated, lively, charming, fun and interesting to talk to. In regard to short time chicas, there is nothing like a Colombiana. They all seem like sex fiends. Brasileiras are very sensual and just make you feel like a king. Cubanas are really fun. But for high octane, pure animalistic sex, it is Colombians.

Have fun.

I'm hearing reports that people are giving up to 4.000 Bolivars to $1US on the street. Can anyone confirm this?

Last time I was there the official rate was 2.147=$1Us but we were getting up to 2.700 to the dollar. If its true, or even over 3.000, looks like I'll be back there soon.

Thanks

It was in the Bogota newspaper that the black market dollar was getting 5000 Bolivars in Caracas.

how much risk is involved? what are the chances of getting ripped off? or counterfeit bills?

will the government confirep001e your cash if they somehow catch you making a black market transaction?

where would one go to find someone to make the exchange?

i never really worry much about counterfeit money in a foreign conutry. if a bill seems different than the rest, i just use it to pay a chica. usually while in the dark.

hey amigo .... i've never gotten ripped off in caracas with fake money ... only once actually in cartagena.

there are guys in the airport that will exchange your money ... just ask any luggage porter, they all know who does it. they'll usually take you to a secure, hidden area to make the transaction.

i know a couple locations downtown where i xchange .... they give a bit better rate. been exchanging there for a long time.
hard for me to explain the exact location though.

ask hotel bellman, security guards, they usually know of places.

keep your money hidden in caracas ... street crime is bad ... i've started to carry a second wallet with jus a little cash there ... just in case.
i had the real cash in other places.

hope this helps.

Look at the Cantv rate under tipo de cambio. As of 1/18/07 they're showing 4126.

Will that be the official greeting of the Venzuelan customers agents, upon arrival in Caracas? Just wondering. This pock-faced clown needs to be taken out.

@ Felipe2006:

I second the report that lalo59 has written upon venzuela.
Right now I would NOT even go to venezuela with all that "chavez stuff"going on...indeed the country more and more is coming to a total dictatorship. I notice more and more venezuelans want to leave their country.

I was both in Colombia (in 2003 for 4 weeks) and (several times) in the DR....and I must say I felt MORE safe in Colombia....that is in the cities.
Crime rates are very high lately in the DR...and SD has a lot of "malo barrios"....especialy when it's dark and when you look like a gringo. Also the north coast is (can be) a bad place to be...too much turists therefor too high prices...:-(

If you Go to Colombia...stay in the cities and nothing could happen...that is in the sense of kidnapping by the FARC or shit like that.
Offcourse in every country there are pickpockets and "ladrones"....so stay on guard and low profile.

Personaly i didn't had good experiences with venezuelanas and on this point i agree with lalo59...and I think of them as the most "presumidas"and arrogant women of all SA!!!!!!!!!!!!I think it's becoz all that beauty pagant stuff....which at times even controls the public life for WEEKS. But indeed true...they are stunning!!

my 2 € cents.

Apparently Chavez now has full use of power over Venezuela. I smell a dictatorship coming don't you?

Master Yoda - Venezuela IS a dictatorship. Has been for several years. It is a democracy in name only.

Johan - IMO you are %100 correct. Colombia is considerably safer than Venezuela is now - in terms of street crime including express secuestros and such. I felt much safer in Bogata, Medellin than I did in Caracas.

Your right ford,
I have been holding back off travelling of Venezuela because I hear how bad the attitude of the women is. I mean out of the 13 people I have all but one guy said the same thing.

But most importantly VZ is very dangerous and could get worse at any moment. The woman that now teaches me spanish is from Venezuela and as soon as she sees the words "Estados Unidos" or even if there is mention the US in the textbook I get a 30 min lecture of how the US is stealing from Latin America and, how rich the country is and how the US is enslaving her people. Sometimes I have to stop her so I can get on with the f**king lesson.

Anyways this is a mongering board so I will avoid politics. Just though I'd let my fellow mongers know.

May the force be with you

There are two women who I met online and have been talking to for quite some time who have invited me to come stay with them for a few days in Venezuela. One is 38 years old, in law school, no kids and lives in Caracas. The other is 34 years old, a school teacher, 4 year old daughter and lives on Margarita Island.

I had a friend who went to Valencia last month to meet a girl from the internet. He didn't mention any problems and had many photos of fun times with her and her family. He does not speak Spanish although he said that she spoke English.

I have never had any problems in Bogota or Cali or any other city on earth that I heard was supposed to be so dangerous. But I guess there is a first time for everything. What are the chances of my first time being in Venezuela?

Yes, go. Use common sense precautions, and fear NO PLACE. That has been my attitude for 5 straight years now, and its served me well.

1. Dress down. Not flashy jewelry, don't flash alot of cash. 2. Speak or learn Spanish. This way you can move around more easily. 3. Don't venture out alone at crazy hours (3 or 4 am) Nobody out at that hour except punk "rave" kids and want-a-be amateur "pandillas". 4. Avoid ATM's on your own at off hours.

Common sense stuff and then relax and enjoy! Venezuelanas are beautiful, gfe and sexy. You eyes will have a heart attack as you walk the streets and malls of CCS! :)

Caracas has two distinct personalities. It is a city where the filthy rich and desperately poor are squeezed into a burgeoning town of 4 million. The Las Mercedes section of the city is safe (but expensive) has great restaurants and high-end malls that you probably won't be able to afford. (lol).....but....
..the northwest sprawling slums are some of the worst on the planet this side of São Paulo in Brazil.

As I've said many times on this board the safety concern for us mongers is primarilly related to street punks and crimes of opportunity. It is for this reason that I probably felt less safe in places like Guatemala and Honduras than I ever did in Colombia. Venezuela can be tense at times.

They say that a picture says 1,000 words.....so here's 4,000 words on Caracas from my 5mpix camera.

The Autopista (expressway) thru the northwest section of the city and the Las Mercedes section, with its high-rise buildings and malls..........

I was in CCS and paid about $65 US for pretty good service in my hotel room at Paseo Las Mercedes. Caled about 20 numbers ( for 2 hours) before I got an answer. Saw a lot of other great looking babes going up the elevator. Guy on a motorcycle pulled onto the sidewalk and stopped right where I was standing. By the time he got the bike stopped , I was across the street. Never felt safe at all in this country. But call in service at the hotel is good and reasonable. No sense in going back to this country when other places are just as good and less dangerous.

I can understand peoples reluctance to travel there, after all foreign investment is leaving the country as fast as possible due to Chavez, and his frequent rhetoric against America is getting old, Fast. Many Cubans I talk to can not understand how people can support him they see him as Castro Jr.

Here is a Great little article on his latest screw-up.

With the Exchange rate at these levels how can pussy not be less then $10 US ?
Here is Todays rate:
100.00 VEB Venezuela Bolivares = [b]0.0465701 USD U.S. Dollars[/b]
1 USD = 2,147.30 VEB
Let's compare to the Argentine Peso
100.00 ARS Argentina Pesos = 32.1932 USD United States Dollars
1 USD = 3.10625 ARS

I understand that the Cubans doctors that where sent to Venezuela are now in Colombia looking for political asylum.

For all you VZ lovers out there. Looks like people are running out of the country. That includes the hotties you see all over. Good news is many are going to the US so you will have all the hotties in your back yard.

Here is the story

As Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez further tightens control of the South American country's economy, wealthy Venezuelans who once thought they could live with his socialist edicts are turning to their backup plan — flight to the United States, particularly Florida.

Venezuelans have long gobbled up condos and pre-construction deals in Florida as investments, but the latest buyers want homes where they can live and business properties that will help them earn a green card.

"First the people who come are the businessmen in the highest circles, then the losing politicians, then the military and then the professionals," said Miami-based immigration attorney Oscar Levin. "You're beginning to see the (Venezuelan) professionals."

This latest and largest potential group of emigrants say they fear the effect Chavez's socialist policies will have on the economy and on proposed educational reforms that could mirror the ideologically imbued education of Chavez ally and mentor, Cuba's
Fidel Castro.

"There is so much insecurity, political insecurity, economic insecurity," said Venezuelan Miguel Medina, a business executive who moved to the Miami in August. "You don't know if a contract you signed today will be honored by the government in the future....This was definitely my plan B, but it was time to do the plan B."

Between 2000 — a year after Chavez took office — and 2005, the number of Venezuelans living in the U.S. doubled to about 160,000, according to the latest U.S. Census numbers. Nearly half live in Florida.

But those numbers are deceptive.

In 2005, 10,645 Venezuelans received their green cards allowing them to live in the United States, almost doubling the 6,222 who received them in 2004, according to the latest Department of
Homeland Security statistics. And another 400,000 Venezuelans came to the United States in 2005 on business and tourism visas. It is unclear how many stayed.

Colombia, with nearly twice Venezuela's roughly 27 million residents, sent the same number that year.

Anecdotal evidence suggests even more are seeking to come here since Chavez's recent nationalization of Venezuela's largest telecommunications company and the electricity sector. The Venezuelan Congress also recently gave him special powers to decree laws for 18 months, and Chavez is threatening to expropriate supermarkets, stores and other businesses caught hoarding food or speculating on prices.

Medina said six family members visited him in the last two months seeking ways to relocate to the U.S. Unlike previous cycles, those seeking to leave and bring their money to the U.S. now are coming from around Venezuela, not just from Caracas, said Medina, an account executive for the credit group ExpoCredit.

Meanwhile Ralph Gomez, who heads the Miami area Tower Investments group and has long specialized in real estate for South American clients, said he's received more than two dozen calls since the year began from people interested in coming to the U.S. Other agents report a similar spike.

Upper-class Venezuelans and their money flowed out of the country after Chavez was elected in 1998 and again when he quashed an unsuccessful coup against his government in 2002, but many professionals still hoped the climate would remain friendly to business. Then came the latest nationalizations. Chavez still pledges to maintain a business-friendly climate, and analysts say the government has paid fair market prices to nationalize the electric and phone companies.

Yet, with 17 percent inflation pushing the Bolivar to more than 4,000 per dollar on the black market, compared to the official rate of 2,150 Bolivars per dollar, many Venezuelans are looking to move their businesses to the U.S. or to set up a new one here.

Those who can afford it often opt for business visas that require a minimum of a $500,000 investment in a company that creates jobs in an underdeveloped area in the U.S.

About 33,000 Venezuelans received some kind of work visa to come to the U.S. in 2005 — nearly a quarter of all such visas for South Americans — compared to about 17,000 in 1999.

Those who come are received with open arms in Miami, where their money is welcome and the Cuban exile community views Chavez as the next Fidel Castro. As of 2004, Venezuelans tied with Germans and Canadians as the second biggest group of foreigners purchasing homes in Florida, according to the National Association of Realtors. Only the British bought more Florida homes.

But moving to the U.S., even for the wealthy, isn't simple. Medina moved his family to the Miami three years ago, but it took him until last summer to tie up financial ends, obtain a visa and a job in Florida.

"I would travel back and forth when I could," he said. "It was hard, but I know I am among the lucky ones."

And while Venezuelan emigrants cite the political and economic instability of the country as their main reasons for leaving, many also talk of rampant and random violence.

Marbelia Font, 47, and her husband landed in Miami in September from Caracas to close on a newly built investment property. They thought their two daughters would enjoy the brief vacation.

But when two friends were fatally shot back home in Venezuela, Marbelia and her 13- and 8-year-old daughters stayed. Her husband returned to Venezuela, hoping to earn a visa by moving his manufacturing and construction business to the U.S. Font said he has struggled to obtain necessary legal documents from the Chavez government.

She now lives in the half-furnished home they'd planned to rent in Doral, just west of Miami. It is decorated only with a picture of her husband and the girls. She and her daughters struggle with loneliness, and she is unable to work as she waits for the family's visas to come through.

"It is so hard because the girls were very close to their father, and now they only see him once every three months," she said.

Its a shame really since all of the women that have that look I like so much (light skin tone, with long black hair) are all in the upper - middle class. This is just a preference I like. I do love morenas too but not the ones in South America. I like the DR for that. :)

I agree completely./..venzuela is turning in somekind of Cuba rapidly.

Sooner or later it is inevitable to invade and put things back to order before the Narcos take over and extend Colombia to the East!

Somebody has to stop mister Chavez!! They didn't stop Hitler/Stalin back in the 1930's...and we all knew what happend!!

It is a shame that this dictator of theirs is pushing these people out of Venezuela ... but ... really no worries about all the hot chicas leaving Venezuela.

Most everyone may want to leave for the US but obviously the vast majority will not be able to.

There will be plenty of light skin, dark skin and in between to be met n Venezuela ... plenty! Probably more desperate nowfor your gringo $$.

Have to say also, the morenas from Venezuela are far more beautiful than those in the DR ... IMHO ... I lovem'!!

Ricker,

I agree 100%...The Venezulanas are the MOST pretty women (along with the Colombianas) on this world...hands down; there is NO question about that. They are true stunners...in many aspects.
Thing is why i still like DR women more....plain and simple...Their attitude!

Most Venezulanas seem to have something like "soy la Reina...y quero que tratarme como eso" (=I am the Queen and i want to be treated like one)and always think they are the last coca cola in the desert....wereas there is always a FULL minibar 50 meters further away!!!!

Nothing turns me off more then a pretty woman with a spoild rotten attitude....

Johan, I learned a LONG time ago to stay away from the "high society" chicas in both Venezuela and Colombia. I date the chicas from familias humildes (humble families) ... they may not have money, but they are just as HOT, and without the attitude. Great chicas! Both countries, I have no problem with the attitude at all.

Does anyone here have any info on Merida? i checked our posts in the Merida section but didn't find much info.

thanks

I will be in Maracaibo for one week in June. (My first visit to Venezuela.)

Does anyone have any up to date information on the opportunities there?

I would appreciate any help.

The women are "muy bella", a man can still be a man and the people love to party. All the time. Get to like schotch/whisky. When you go out they will ask you two questions: 1.) 12 or 16 year old whisky? And 2.) water or soda water as a mixer? The beer, Polar, is OK. There six types, but you will get tired of all of them. They do pride themselves in serving the beer very cold. Any questions. PM me.

From the United States, what is the best way to get to Merida. I checked in to flying directly into Merida using the website Travel Zoo and also using Kayak but found nothing. Does this mean I have to fly in to Caracas or to Maricaibo, and then take a connecting flight from there?

Would you please provide us more information on your time in Merida?. Your kindness in doing so will be greatly appreciated!

As I stated in the below post, I am looking to go to Venezuela for the first time the end of June. My decision to go is a spur of the moment decision, as I intended to go to Brazil, but changed my mind, because of the dollar dropping like it has against the real.

I am interested in going to a city that has a great nightlife of freelancers and non-pros hanging out in bars/discos, possibly something similar to the HELP disco scene in Rio. Obviously security is a factor, because of the distaste for gringos, and I am aware of the poverty that is in this country. During the daytime hours I am a beach type person, but am considering all areas.

Any up to date information you can provide me on the above is greatly appreciated. Would also like to know your preference in renting an apartment or a hotel. My trip will be from 8 to 10 days in length.

Hey amigo ... I've visited Venezuela many times and have had several girlfriends from there.

I only know Caracas and the surrounding area, and Maracaibo.

Caracas by far has the greatest amount of hot chicas, both pro and non-pro. I'm sure that's because about 70 percent or so of the Venezuela population lives in Caracas.
Also Caracas has a lot of night life.

I found the chicas quite a bit sweeter in Maracaibo, but the city is verrrrry hot (climate) and not so pretty. There are lots of hot chicas there though.

I heard Merida was beautiful and that it was a college town ... lots of cute university girls. Don't know much about the PFP scene there.

Have fun!

Like the women you see in magazines. All of these chicks are in the upper classes and they wouldn't be interested in outsiders.

also hear its too dangerous.

how does the maracaibo women compare to cali and caracas?

Thanks guys for the information, but with my trip coming up so soon, and finding so little information on the Venezuela threads, I purchased a ticket today to go to Cartagena, at the end of June for 10 days. I have yet to experience Cartagena, even though I have experienced Colombia, and I have found the Cartagena thread to be very active at the moment with alot of information available, and this is what ultimately lead to my decision to go, and experience mongering in this destination. If anyone is in Cartagena during this time and want to have a drink get in touch.

From my brief stints in Maracaibo... the chicas in Maracaibo are very similar in body features to Barranquilleras... exactly what I like. I've only been to the airport in Merida... so can't help there. I too thought the nightlife in Caracas was pretty good.. but I also had family of ex-gf to take me out on the town.

It's probably best that you strayed away from Venezuela... but Cartagena isn't the place I would've booked my trip. Don't get me wrong, Cartagena is a lovely city with a great nightlife... it's just any chica that would interest me in Cartagena is from elsewhere... which means she's p4p. I don't go to Cartagena looking for a chica. I prefer taking a chica to Cartagena.

Enjoy your trip. A tip for you. While you are in Cartagena, I assume you will frequent LDV. As opposed to taking a chica from there at whatever the going rate is, tell her you are going dancing at another disco... most likely she will join you. If you guys really click at the disco.. which you will as that is what she want's you may end up with a freebie. Don't even discuss price at the disco... just have fun and when you get in a cab just assume she is going with you and have fun. In the morning stick whatever you want in her purse and you've now just had a great night and scored for a lot less money.

Another idea is tell her you are going to call it a night pretty early and you'd be more than happy to visit with her on the next day on the beach. What this means is some fun time on the beach with the girl you chose, and an afternoon fuck for about 1/3-1/2 the price you would've paid taking her from LDV (maek sure you tell her where on the beach) . Enjoy Cartagena Amigo.

Don't even discuss price at the disco... just have fun and when you get in a cab just assume she is going with you and have fun. In the morning stick whatever you want in her purse and you've now just had a great night and scored for a lot less money.

Another idea is tell her you are going to call it a night pretty early and you'd be more than happy to visit with her on the next day on the beach. What this means is some fun time on the beach with the girl you chose, and an afternoon fuck for about 1/3-1/2 the price you would've paid taking her from LDV (maek sure you tell her where on the beach) . Enjoy Cartagena Amigo...[/QUOTE]

I totally agree Winner, exactly my style of meeting PFP chicas.

[QUOTE=Winner71]From my brief stints in Maracaibo... the chicas in Maracaibo are very similar in body features to Barranquilleras... exactly what I like. I've only been to the airport in Merida... so can't help there. I too thought the nightlife in Caracas was pretty good.. but I also had family of ex-gf to take me out on the town.[/QUOTE]hey winner71, thanks for the reply. I guess maracaibo has darker looking women then. but how about caracas? i just prefer a lighter tan

A lighter tan than what? The gals in Barranquilla are not dark in my opinion... not like Cartagena. I mentioned the gals in Barranquilla are similar to those in Maracaibo. Are the gals in Barranquilla too dark for you? Didn't I send you some of the pictures of some of my Barranquillera amigas? Do you prefer lighter than that? And what about the picture you sent me of the chica you are corresponding with in Barranquilla. Is that too dark? If so, then Medellin is your answer. I think someone on here wrote that chicas on the coast are all dark... like negra or black. That is not true. It's true that you will find majority negras in Cartagena (gals that are from Cartagena...not the p4p gals that come from all over), but not in Barranquilla. You will see some negras in Barranquilla and in Cali as well. But for the most part Barranquilleras, Calenas, and chicas from Maracaibo are triguena. What is triguena? hmmm...hard to explain. Look at a pic of Shakira... she's from Barranquilla. If this is not what you like then your best bet is Medellin.

just arrived back in caracas after too long a break! it is eeeeexxxxppppeensive!! the "official" rate at banks and cambiors is currently 2,114.60 bolivars to the us dollar. if you use a credit card that is about the exchange rate you will get. however, if you loiter at the airport and watch, there are money changers lurking around and you can score between 3,200 and 3,500 bolivers per dollar. lie like a bastard and tell them you have a friend in town who will give you 3,600.00. observe first to ensure you aren't getting caught in a sting as of course this is highly illegal. yawn.

taxi from airport is $60 or 130,000 bolivars. look suddenly everything is 30% off if you were to use the scored blovars!! (and it takes between an hour and 90 minutes depending on traffic.) only use the taxi negras....anything else is courting disaster.

btw - watch out for the bastards who will work the exchange rate out at 3k per $. also watch your change. they will try not to give you the 500 bols you are due - even at the exchange places!

many hotels will take cash. bolivars.

this is not a prime choice place for the hobby, although they are around, but the environment can get a bit "tense" (thanks, ford!) and a rotating neck is a must!

the good news is that the chicas are still stunning, and at car window levels the sights of their asses gave me a woody. ("i'm horny, therefore i am?") it also shocked the hotel receptionist.

how long is chavez going to be allowed to carry on before someone takes him out?

not that I want this but it seems inevitable. esp since he has all that oil.

Taking over the TV station seems like a way to engage the masses. You can fuck with my oil, you can fuck with my freedoms, but don't fuck with my MTV.

they are demonstrating outside my hotel as we write! (lots of very young cops carrying a lot of pump actions and riding three to a trailbike. think i may keep a low profile.)

however i get the impression that they are more worried about their loss of "soaps" than free speech. mind, if it means no more "sin tetas no hay paraiso" i share their concern.

Does anybody have some contacts or tips for hot girls from vargas. Maybe even streetaction?

Thank you!

So I guess I better find some other place to check out. I'm just looking for someplace south for a week before I head over to Rio. I have 3 weeks, an a huge desire for fun.

I read threw the whole Venezuela section and it seems the hottest of girls are in the upper classes but what about the lower end ladies?

I plan to visit Venezuela, and wish to know which cities have the hottest and easiest chicks to hunt.

Thanks!

The Monday 27 August 2007 issue of the Wall Street Journal has an article on the economy and inflation in Venezuela. It mentions black market exchange rates exceeding 4800 bolivars/dollar.

I have not yet hobbied in Venezuela but am wondering if the economic pain there could translate into bargain prices for the mongering tourist. Opinions?

You won't get 4800 bolivars/dollar exchange rate unless you are local, or introduced by a local, and talking about amount of 5 figures or more.

Exchange in black market is not so BLACK. Notes in us$100 and us$50 are more welcome. The first offer I get from different occasion.

exiting international airport 3400
national airport 3500
paying hotel with us$ 3200
jewelry/gold shop 3800
restaurant 3900

This is first offer, rate will go up after negotiation.

Do not bother visiting this country. This city is a hell hole and did not meet any of my expectations. There is very little to see in this country if you are interested in non-mongering activities. You can see everything this city has to offer in two days. I do not know where they had their beauty queens and soap opera actresses that you see on TV. These people are mostly black or mestizo and are the ruddest people in the world. They are also very over weight. I speak perfect Spanish and I had a hard time understanding their muffled Spanish.

I only checked out one mongering site. Angelus Club and was very disappointed.

Save the money on airfare and hotel costs. Go elsewhere. Caracas was part of my travel itenerary to Cartagena and Bogota. If you must visit, it's good enough for two days only.

The exchange rate is $3800 bolivares/$1 US at the airport. Everyone is changing dollars at the airport. It's OK, you won't get in trouble. All the cops are paid off. You won't get ripped off. Keep in mind that $100 US = $380K bolivares. The biggest bill is $5OK and it's orange.

Punters, mongers and other assorted rapscallions,

I have arrived in Caracas for a three year job position. I shall do my best to report on the pay for play scene in this corner of South America. Please understand that there will be constraints, family, work, Chavez. But I shall do my best to provide reports when I can.

My initial impression the that the birds here are not as good looking as I'd imagined. I have seen some breathtaking beauties, but the mean is far lower than you would think. Argentina has much better looking females, both on and off the menu.

That said, Caracas is a tit lovers paradise. I've never seen so many implants, especially ridiculously large ones, in my life. The ladies here love showing off their tits. Low cut tops abound. Thank you mild weather. The second thing going for women in Caracas is **** wear. The tighter, the lower the cut, the more uncomfortably high the heel the better it seems.
That includes offices, government ministries, hospitals, shop girls, fat and wrinkly indigenous women in the open air market. Caracas seems to have a lot of young women so they always look nicer and every woman looks good them she has my tool in her mouth.

The Bolivars futures rate is 6,100 to the yankee dollar so do not accept anything less than 5,000 from your blackmarketeer. Always insist on a higher return for a 100 euro or dollar note.

TTFN

I've been reading several threads about having a blackmarket exchange. Where can you find a decent place in Caracas?

I use a business man who is looking to get his worthless Bolivars changed into dollars. I just call him, tell him how much I need changed and write him a personal check. He gives me a big brick of Bolivars, he mails my check to his U.S. back account. I know that solution does not work for you, but if you give me a rough idea of how much cash you plan on changing, I could look into arranging a meeting for you.

To keep abreast of real exchange rate a site like Ven Economia

[url]http://www.veneconomia.com[/url]

The free market exchange rate is on the left hand pull down menu, called Permuta.

Most money changers will find you.

My understanding is that it's about 4Bs.F.:1.

3.95 Bolivars Fuerte to the dollar. Right now all the expat companies are paying their taxes in dollars plus the government has offered up three series of dollar denominated bonds to keep the price down. the exchange rate will be better in june.

This anti-sex tourist crap is just another form of xenophobia. Remember, these countries all have highly developed sex industries for locals. Foreigners are typically 0.0001% of the trade and pay 5 to 10 times as much. In fact, we are actually letting the girls fuck less for more money!

I shared the following with Dars Veider prior to his trip to Venezuela. He could have done the trip on his own, but I would like to think I helped him a little.

I would choose hotels like the Crillon, Tampa or Hotel Caracas Cumberland. These are about 40-50 dollars a night.
[url]http://www.hotelcrillon.com.ve/ubicacion.htm[/url]
[url]http://www.hoteltampa.com.ve/[/url]
[url]http://www.hotelescumberland.com/[/url]

All are ideally located near Sabana Grande and Libertador, where you will find most of the wh0re houses, oops I mean spas and estudios.

If you want cheaper hotels, just about anything on Avenida de Las Acacias will suit your needs rooms are between 85,000 [url]http://www.hoteles.com.ve/hotel/Hot...icentenario/440[/url] and 120,000 bolivars a night. Some only rent by the hour. I cannot vouch for their safety or cleanliness. Some even have girls operating out of them.

[url]http://gocemoslojuntos.com/venezuela/Hoteles.html[/url]

For finding bargain fucks I would recommend the following strategy. (Disclaimer: Because of work and other considerations I have only mongered once so far in Venezuela, see my Out and About report but this is how I plan to do it when I can.)

Get the names/phone numbers in advance of massage parlors (estudios) from the sexycaracas website. There are pictures so you will have at least some idea of the general quality of the girls they hire.

Go to the newspaper. I've found Ultimas Noticias to be the best. Most fucks are 90-140,000 bolivars which covers oral, vaginal and two pops in an hour. There is usually a surcharge for anal.

Call the ads that mention spas, estudios or phone numbers NOT starting with 0412, 0414 or 0416 for day time fun. Most of these apartment brothels are located on or near Libertador, Sabana Grande or Francisco Miranda avenues. Pay attention, most of them close by 7PM. That is because Sabana Grande is a "No Go" zone at night.

After 6PM you can take a taxi or the metro to the Centro Comercial Sambil to hit on the non-pros or start calling the ads that start with 0412, 0414 or 0416 because those are girls or pimp agencies with mobile phone numbers. Note Centro Comercial San Ignacio turns into a big pick up joint after 11PM on Friday and Saturday nights.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is any season to travel to Venezuela as it is south hemisphere.

I mean the chicks use to go out more during summer season or it is worth to get there in October for Instance?

Thank you very much.

Henri,

Venezuela is in the NORTHERN hemisphere but given that it is 3 degrees north of the equator it has no hot/cold seasons. It does have wet and dry seasons. Right now it is the wet season, so there are frequent but not constant rainshowers. If you are just going to monger then anytime of year is fine. If you want beach and countryside wait until after November.

Does anyone know if the demand for action in and around Caracas has been affected by the 4 large Russian navy ships, loaded with guys who probably haven't fucked in months, currently docked? Have folks seen a Russian influx in and around known monger areas?

"Frontline," the PBS documentary series, did a program entitled "The Hugo Chavez Show" last night (11/25/08).

Why Venezuela?
Isla Margarita for beach and action in town at Porlamar. But the water is not the warmest.
Los Roques is better for the water, but almost no action. Maybe tourist women.
Puerto la Cruz, on the main land, has some beach activity and some action.
I left Venezuela early on my vacation, because of safety and flew to Curacao. Much better action, water, safety and good friendly people.


[QUOTE=Flying Frenchman]3 friends who I know from when I was working in Costa Rica, and myself, are in the process of making plans to go to Venezuela the first part of December. We all are beach type of guys who are in our 40's. What city should we be looking to book our trip to, Isla Margarita?. Any other suggestions of any type you can provide us will be greatly appreciated! We all are spanish speakers.[/QUOTE]

Other islands to try would be St. Maarten, Aruba; can't say much about it because I have not been there, but have checked some posts. San Andres, a Colombian island and the Dominican Republic with caution.
But of course the better beaches are in Brazil.
And yes, I have heard there are good beaches in the more remote areas of Venezuela.

[QUOTE=Flying Frenchman]I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post World Travel 69. Your contributions to the forum are priceless, so based on what you have told me, I will contact my traveling partners tonight and provide them with the information you posted.

The reason I wanted to go to Venezuela, is because I spent a considerable amount of time in Costa Rica on a work assignment, and I will be in Colombia, next month, so I was looking to experience yet another new culture and area. Venezuela sounded good for me for several reasons. #1, the women are very similar to the Colombianas, and I am awed by there breathtaking beauty. #2, From what I read, Venezuela has some beautiful beaches, but I did not know about the cold ocean waters!. #3, I felt Venezuela would be a good place to go, since it is not inhabited by an influx of Americans and Europeans.

Your recommendations, suggestions, are held to the highest degree, so please leave your feedback and thoughts. Thank you so much once again!

a decent looking girl for 4oo Blvs should be 200 DLLS,, no fucking way!!
Can anybody tell me if this is the rate the Black Market manages?

Thanks a lot, but if this is the new rate everywhere, Venezuela has to wait.. I don't want to go only civilian hunting,, Complicated enough I'm here to get more complications on my vacation.. Last time in Venezuela had many problems with couple jealous girls.. they just LOVE drama.. (Why can't we be friends,, why can't we be friends...?) ;) :(

I have searched the forums and some of the reports of distinction reports are pretty good. However when I go Venezuela I want to make sure I go to the best places while hopefully avoiding the learning curve that comes with exploring a new area? Could someone shed some light on the best places to go in Venezuela?

I stayed here for a week back in Fall 2007 ([url]http://www.mywildvacation.com/home.php[/url], Margarita Island) a kinda "all inclusive" place. Now, ya the website is a bit slick and oversells a bit (never saw a girl topless), but the mgmt are straight/good people. And the girls are more girlfriends than sex providers (that is how they like to see themselves). Having said that, you should get laid twice a day and could change girls if that wasn't happening: get laid more if you've got charm and looks! Just remember, there are always a couple of the girls who speak great English, but don't let on. Anything you say or do, you should assume, gets around. And yes the girls get paid based on them getting chosen so that creates competition and games between them and things they may tell you. Just don't get involved and change girls regularly and you'll be alright. This is a catholic country and as with all catholic countries sex is rationed/restricted: not as easy going as Asia. I never tried beyond this in Venezuela, so that's all I got. Have a good trip. Cheers

And the girls are more girlfriends than sex providers (that is how they like to see themselves). Having said that, you should get laid twice a day and could change girls if that wasn't happening: get laid more if you've got charm and looks! Just remember, there are always a couple of the girls who speak great English, but don't let on. Anything you say or do, you should assume, gets around. And yes the girls get paid based on them getting chosen so that creates competition and games between them and things they may tell you. Just don't get involved and change girls regularly and you'll be alright. This is a catholic country and as with all catholic countries sex is rationed/restricted: not as easy going as Asia. I never tried beyond this in Venezuela, so that's all I got. Have a good trip. Cheers[/QUOTE]


Looks like a great starting point. I am going to check it out. Was the cost excessive or reasonable?

I'm sorry to tell you that the MWV operation in VZ is for the most part dead. I think that they may still have some contacts there and might be able to set something up for you but as somebody that has enjoyed their services several times in the past and have spoken with the owner Thomas several times in the past two years I can tell you that they have focused their operations in the DR. Thomas has no intentions of opening the villas back up until Uncle Hugo is long gone and I can't say as I blame him.
My advice is to check out the DR. The MWV operation there is very good but not quite like it was in VZ. If you must go to VZ then it would be worth your while to contact Thomas at MWV and see what he can do for you but DO NOT expect it to be like it is advertised on the website. You will be staying at the "provisional villa" which sometimes is inside a hotel resort complex and NOT very monger-friendly. There are NOT as many chicas to choose from and the service will not be up to standard. The DR operation is much better. Hope this helps.

Stay horny my friends

Nah, cheaper than others in this type of provider: a couple grand or so. I'm pretty sure I paid as their rates page i.e. [url]http://www.mywildvacation.com/rates.php[/url] I am not sure whether this place is still up, you'd have to check with them. I know their Dominican Republic place is active now.

In that case I am assuming that there may be some competitors in the area.

I think so, some info about them on MWV's bulletin board at [url]http://bb.mywildvacation.com/[/url] , which may obviously be biased but MWV users, in my experience, are a fairly straight group. I think the MWV crowd can probably hook you up/give you some references in Venezuela anyway. Best of luck

I have to agree with Engjoe, the bb at MWV's website would be a good place to perhaps get some info on alternatives on the island. I know that there was at least one competitor there but I have no idea about the details as MWV was the best thing going. Good luck!

I am a long time member and have been forced to randomize my handle (please one divorce is enough). Needless to say, I've known Cuba, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Columbia, Peru, Venezuela, Argentina and even Thailand. I am no stranger to mongering or to contributing to this site, but unlike the heavy hitters, I must be more random or risk being discovered. I love my wife, but sometimes my dick deserves a vacation. I don't smoke, do drugs, golf, hunt or fish. I take care of my wife in the manner in which she is accustomed and I work 60 hrs a week. Sometimes I need a week to myself.

For me and my love of anal sex, music, food, climate and culture. Brazil has been the best and Rio is at the top of that food chain. However, that ship has sailed! Between the exchange rate, the World Cup, the Olympics and out shitty economy, I feel that Brazil is dead for the next 10 years. The government is "cleaning-up" the city/country (the way China, Utah and any other Olympic city does) the women will no longer be at low cost/value that they have been in the past and will not be until they hit their post boom crisis at some point in the future. You can't turn a blind eye the way the Government in Rio has for the past 20 years when the Olympics are coming to town.

That being said, I'm looking for the next Mecca and it is my belief that it is either Columbia or Venezuela. Both have their advantages and their champions but what I'm trying to decipher is which one is more cost advantageous at the present time. I have not been to either since 2002 and want to get some intel from those who know.

Therefore, I'm not interested in hearing just the opinion of the guy who can get a $5 lay because he can speak Spanish like Cervantes. Nor am I interested in hearing about high roller who has no problem falling into town spending $250/night for his hotel and $200/hr with his chica. It takes all kinds and I'm not trying to start a fight, but that is a different discussion. C'mon, I know where I can get a $10 BJ tonight but that doesn't mean I want it.

I see a reality and am trying to adjust for it. There are 47,000 reports on this site about Brazil, Argentina is under-represented due to their other site. That leaves Columbia as the 2nd highest but having visited both and understanding the regime, I feel that Venezuela is the next frontier, economy, proximity, culture to be the next great monger habitat. I feel that Argentina is way too stable to be a real bargain the way that Cuba and Rio used to B.

Any thoughts?

If cost is your *only* concern then Venezuela falls in the top 3 destinations.
The other two being Colombia and Argentina.

You cannot ignore Argentina due to the weak Peso - you get almost 4 Pesos for 1 USD. Colombia has already been "discovered" and it has gained more popularity in the last 24 months.

~BKKguru[/QUOTE]A few people have told me about Venezuela. The question however is, where should one go in Venezuela? Where are the casas, where are the best restaurants, where are the best places to meet chicas? There needs to be a Bubba Boy guide for Venezuela.

I can't even find a posting here that is less than 4 months old. A lot can change in a quarter.

What is the price of a girl? The spa girls are out during the day, but is there a night time play ground?

Is anal an option here?

If you go to a low rent apartment brothel, 70-90 BsF for a half an hour. Spa about BsF 190 upwards an hour. Agency girl 180 - 350 an hour + 50-60 BsF for a taxi that they won't ride in. Independents - 300 an hour and beyond.

There is a pretty good local site with a forum called Sexy Caracas. You will need to be a good Spanish speaker/reader to negotiate the forum. Since I am I don't know how good the Google translator would be. One of you can try it out.

Spa girls are in spas during the day. They tell their parents they have a .... job. Most spas are closed by 6 or 8 pm.

The streets are not safe after dark, so the girls WILL take a taxi to come to your hotel or just not do business.

Anal is an option. Some love to get hammered hard, others include it in their service, most charge extra.

Hindu is straight sex, french is oral, russian is a tit fuck, english is discipline/spanking nothing heavy.

Because of crime/safety almost no girls host and I would be suspicious of anyone who does.

Most spas are located in office buildings. newspaper classifieds are your friend. If I can remember the floor, I just follow my nose until I smell incense, lotion and lube. That also means they are catering to the business man. During office hours.

If you don't have a car, you will need a taxi to get around at night. Taxi's don't have meters and I can go to a car parts store and buy a taxi sign for five bucks and I'm a taxi.

I have a company car. Armored. So understand that it is hard to get around at night. RTFF to find old recommendations for trustworthy drivers. It is unlikely they have become Chavistas, but they may have found other work.

Lots of the ads in Sexy Caracas point out that the girls don't do services in private residences. The will go to regular hotels and hot sheet love hotels.

I'll bet that a lot of indy girls hang out in shopping mall food courts between appointments, the problem is that since most Venezuela women dress like porn actresses you can't tell them from civilians.

Traffic is another huge problem. Caracas has not had a major road/highway upgrade in 30 years so if/when you get a girl to come it could take 45 minutes for her to show. That cuts into your hot sheet motel time (most rent at 2-3 hours) Also unless you are a regular client, the girls will not hit the road unless you are checked in and give them a room number.

The forum at Sexy Caracas has several no show reports, the Caracas slang is "embarcado" for being stood up.

Like Aragon points out, Caracas is a DANGEROUS place. I have spent some time in Venezuela and make it a point to get out of caracas ASAP.

Venezuela is a beautiful country. There are lots of smaller size cities to hang out in and still be able to get out into the country. I have spent time in Maracaibo, Maracay, Barquisimeto, Valencia, Merida, Choroni..... and managed to have a great time.

You need to speak Spanish well and need to be adventureous. Otherwise, stay home or go somewhere else

[/QUOTE]

LOL........I find your comment to be hliarious.

Please put on your psychologist hat for this question:
Why do Venezuelan girls/women dress so provocatively? Is it insecurity? Or has this become a rat race and women feel pressured to compete with the other boobs dropping out of the T-shirt?

I wonder how the Venezuelan men control themselves. They must have remarkable self control with all these hotties in tight tops and T-shirts.

Please give us your insight. Thanks!

I think it an arms race - or better put a boobs race. It is just all pervasive. I went to a business lunch on Tuesday at an upscale restaurant. They had four girls on staff in tight black outfits with boobs bubbling out the top, tempting you to order whiskey. There was also a promotora from DirecTV handing out scratch and win cards in a full length but ultra tight body suit. When she stood next to our table her snatch was almost at eye level, it was all I could do to keep from latching my mouth on to it.

Sometime when I'm walking through a shopping mall like Sambil, I see such ridiculously large hooter that I just want to walk up to a woman and bat them around like a kitten with a ball of yarn. I guess Venezuelan men grew up with it and it it common.

Correct me if I wrong - but fake boobs are as common as posters of Chavez in Venezuela.

Lets take the example of this restaurant which you visited:
Do you think 2 out of the 4 girls on staff had fake boobs?

Also, are these women receptive to being asked out for a date or movie?
Or do you first have to prove that you have mucho dinero in your wallet?

Thanks,

I would say that if the women did not have fake boobs, then the next most common thing is for them to use a very padded push-up bra.

Since I was dining with business people, and the place was packed, I didn't try to run my game. My educated guess is in a place like that, no. The girls don't need/want to be seen a gold diggers.

On the other hand, based on other mongers reports on Caracas from years ago and my own observations, chatting up a shopgirl within half an hour of closing, especially if she is not wearing some dorky uniform, will likely yield a date.

[QUOTE=BKKguru]Correct me if I wrong - but fake boobs are as common as posters of Chavez in Venezuela.[/QUOTE]
+1. Never been there, but it seems that actually most venezuelian girls seem distorted by mounds of silicon and collagen.

I personnaly like when a young woman is untouched by a scalpel (that is why I go to FSU). Well, ok, I wouldn't mind spending a few weeks in Caracas though. :)

Aragon, reading your comments about Caracas makes me think of the Clash -- Should I stay or should I go? Dangerous as hell, but sounds exciting, beautiful women, packed nightclubs, possibility of getting shot, makes me think of Chicago in the '20's or something, I have read your commentary over the last year, obviously YOU live there and are still alive, so give us all intrepid mongers some Caracas survival tips!

Remember I live here, I don't go out every night, or even every month. I have that "other" life. As I've mentioned before, unless you have a lot of money or business to do here, mongering is not the best deal.

I'm alive because I'm not hitting the packed clubs at 2AM.

The big monger question is how to get value for your money. All the girls here are expensive at the official exchange rate, but a steal at the parallel rate. I've described how I change money in another post.

Here is a simple 3x a day mongering plan. Check into the J.W. Marriott, it is chica friendly.

During the day, visit a spa/studio at opening time, between 10 and 11 AM, four hours later after lunch, visit a different spa/studio and fuck again.

Have and early dinner or catch a movie at the Sambil or San Ignacio shopping malls, try your game of the shop girls.

If unlucky, return to hotel and call a 400 Bolivar girl from one of the agencies on the local escort website.

Thanks, that's pretty much how I do things in Medellin. Will look up your posts re changing money etc., and I am not a 2am club guy anymore anyway, so no problem there. I think part of it is the macabre fascination of seeing a glimpse of life under Chavez, and the knowledge that, using the parallel market, one can have a really good time there. I will be careful!

If you can book into the Marriott using reward points or miles - so much the better. Three local agencies Sexy Hot, Secret of Love and Nucleo del Placer have very doable girls for 200 BsF or less for an hour. That is about 26 U.S. dollars. Then add about 8 dollars for the taxi they don't take. I suppose you could pay them in dollars or Euros at an agreed rate.

Since I don't have access to physical dollar I've never tried it.

Instead of working out absurd and ridiculous ways to touch a woman.

Why don't you address the bigger picture?

Take your historically important country out of 1947 and vote out your idiot head of state.

Then maybe you can have some money in your pocket and some choice.

Get with it.

GMaster1 - Please purchase a bottle of Desenex and apply it liberally to your tongue because you have firmly stuck both feet in you mouth. I am not Venezuelan, I am not a permanent resident of Venezuela. I have no right to vote in this country.

With a single post in the ISG, you have shown yourself to be an arrogant know-it-all who thinks he's qualified to tell other people how to run their country.

I shall give you this advice, you had best heed it or you will find your remaining time on any ISG forum to be nasty, brutish and short - Read The Fucking Forum (RTFF if you can make the connection) and think real hard before you post anything beyond how you got your knob polished by some doxy down on the waterfront.

Consider yourself flamed.

Didn't want to do work I had to do so I took the supposedly bullet-proof SUV for a spin around some of the darker edges of town.

Remember because we are so close to the equator it gets dark around 6:30

I rolled past two very low end street walkers at the corner of Av Los Jabillos and Av Los Cedros. As I passed Residencia Caribe ( a rundown apartment block) I saw a sweet honey about to get on a motorbike.

Among the local monger forum, this building is known as El Cuartel or the Headquarters. Several escort agencies run out of there. Not in-house service but more like a lounge and dispatch office. Sorry for the quality of the attached photo but it was shot with a cell phone. Her face was not spectacular but it would have looked great with by dick in her mouth.

Av Andres Bello has some females on the stroll, a very fat one with her huge knocker ready to fall out of her vest, a very erect (posture) granny who reminded my of the actress who played Cliff Claven's mother on the American TV series Cheers, a petite bottled blonde that hid in the shadows and a two girls that stood together.

I rolled up on the pair, one was short and dumpy in a white sack dress, the other had huge tits, I called her up to the window and she wasn't bad looking. Long jet back hair, nice big ass to balance out the tits and something of a belly. She smiled and thought we had been together before but I said definitely not. She wanted BsF 200 which I thought was a little high for a SW, the other drawback a a mole the size of an M&M (plain not peanut) plastered on the side of her nose.

The trannies were out in force on Av. Libertador, a covey of six where standing together, a few of them could have fooled me.

Rolled down to Av Las Acacias also know as Av de Los Hoteles because of the hotels there. Very inexpensive, both short and long term rates. I would recommend the Gabial for low budget backpacking mongers, but unless you have real street experience and can project a major bad ass vibe this is not the after dark neighborhood for you.

I saw a hot one with Asian features in front of the Hotel Sur and rolled up on her she opened her mouth and right away I knew she had that "little something extra" so I politely declined. She told me to pull into the hotel parking lot because there was a room just off the lot full of girls to choose from. I thanked the shim for the info but since I was only wearing gym shorts and a t-shirt a felt a little vulnerable (also no place to distribute my cash) but I might check it out later.

Swung by the hotel Dallas ( a well known short time near the Marriott) and there were two real girls standing by the exit.

Headed home to try and get things done so I can justify some pay for play later this weekend.

Aragorn, while I can afford it, the Marriott is mucho precio, how is the
Intercontinental? Comments on tripadvisor suggested it is as good and safe, saving over $150 per night.


Re, your other comments, I don't think it is worth wandering around in a (supposed) bullet-proof vehicles in the 'hood just to find trannies & shemales!

[quote=furysys]aragon, reading your comments about caracas makes me think of the clash. should i stay or should i go? dangerous as hell, but sounds exciting, beautiful women, packed nightclubs, possibility of getting shot, makes me think of chicago in the '20's or something, i have read your commentary over the last year, obviously you live there and are still alive, so give us all intrepid mongers some caracas survival tips![/quote]furysys, i have been to venezuela many times. go there just a about every year. some years in the past i was there 3-4 times. drove through large parts of this wonderful country. go there! thas is my humble advice.

i did many things in the past i do not wish to redo with the current state of caracas, but it is unfair to say that venezuela is a sure death penalty (even if it is the murder capitol of the world most years).

i am not a big guy. average. i stand out with a very non venezuelan look. yet i did not have any major trouble so far, aftar al this time i spent there. just be prepared to walk away from some cash without a drama (even though this never happened to me either).

altamira and los palos grandes in ccs is my favorite places to stay. close to the parties in san ignacio and relatively safe.

i walked over large parts of ccs many times in the past. however restrict my walking nowadays, since it is more of a hot zone, but the war zone vibes is slightly*exaggerated*imho. just use your head. do not go to markets or "cheap areas" after 5-6 pm, do not look lost, do not use your cell phone in public, do not take the most outer tables in restaurants (speed kidnappings), do not drive on the highways around caracas after 2-3 pm (make sure you pass these areas earlier in the day), do not stop if your front window is broken by a rock (go to the nearest gas station or real restaurant), use shaded windows in the car, etc.

mongering:

if you put some work in to it with google translate you can find just*about every brothel and massage place in caracas here:

[url]http://www.elbrollo.com/intereses-diversos/off-topic/177766-burdeles-de-caracas-446.html[/url]

this is a link to a page in this massive thread.

sexycaracas.com is the natural page to find chicas. read the reviews and the forum.

i like*the executive massage at cuerpo, mente y alma (body, mind and soul).

cma*phone 2650021 & 2660154. you must make a reservation first.

address: business multicenter versus sambil east, torre libertador. torre a, piso 2

benchmarks: waterfront sambil center.

prices: bsf. 280 x 1 hour (?)

bed or couch: stretchers*

in my opinion, venezuela gets nicer the further away from caracas you get. lovely women who loves sex and are very open for encounters. leave the paid punani behind and venture north (but bring a companion if you go to los roques) west, east or even better south to the other sides of venezuela. choroni, or even better the small villages next to choroni, are super to visit. just do not arrive in the harbor area after dark, but rather at 9-10 am when the fishermen arrive so you can buy a ride to the next bay/beach/village.

happy mongering and traveling!

barba

If you mean the Tamanaco - I would say no. It and the Eurobuilding Suites are isolated by a major highway. Some girls will come there but it just adds another obstacle.

Check the rates on the Embassy Suites, Altamira Suites and Hotel Pestana.

Hotel Paseo de Las Mercedes puts you in the heart of Las Mercedes (never stayed there) but it is the upscale neighborhood of Caracas with night life.

I am really happy that Aragon is providing information that will help travelers navigate in Venezuela. It is just too bad that Aragon does not have a tourist business that could show mongers around in Venezuela. I know if I traveled to Venezuela,I would pay for that service. This way I could avoid all the not so obvious pitfalls.

I've always heard about that list, but never seemed to use the right search term "burdeles" to penetrate El Brollo.

I've heard of about half of those places but half are new. A wealth of reasonably priced doxies.

I've never intended to paint Caracas as a death sentence, I do get around, but there are some places like the ones on the list for Sabana Grande or Av Urdaneta that I would only during daylight hours.

I know Aragorn from another SA country where he showed me all kinds of great shit when I first moved there. Great guy and he knows how to get around. But if you are evaluating his perspective on safety in Venezuela, you have to consider a couple of things: the man has excellent size, he is bilingual from birth, and looks Latino. Furthermore he can look real mean when he wants to. So he can probably do some things and go some places that other gringos cannot.

Hat's off to El Toro Rojo, I'm always happy to share when I can step outside of my real life. We had some good times and I'm always happy to help fellow travelers when I can, but like many of you, I have to make sure my world's don't collide.

Aragorn, I am sure that if you tried to set up a tour guide business there, Uncle Hugo would immediately accuse you of being a runningdog, capitalist exploiter, taking advantage of those pure, socialist Venezuelan virgin chicas!

gentlemen -

here is a peek into three local dens of iniquity.

[url]http://www.my-forum.org/descripcion.php?numero=29&nforo=468190[/url]

el cazador is very well known and considered very working class. volta is maybe a half step up, dars vader popped his head into volta but declined. you can find his report in the forum.

mystic moment has long had a reputation for good, and very large breasted, girls. it has been on my radar but is located on the other side of town. dar vader went twice and reported a good time.

Nah, they all looked as flat as a board ;-)

LOL. Aragon could set up a few small tours. First come first served. About 6 people each just so people can get the lay of the land. Next thing you know Aragon would have one of the biggest "tourist companies" in Venezuela.

Finally I finished a project that had been on my back for months and I promised myself a reward if I finished.

Since it was Sunday I did not have many choices, so I called the Nucleus of Pleasure (Nucleo del Placer) on Sexy Caracas and asked for Dayris Fisher, who had received a good review. The fellow said he Dayris was not working but had a tall model called Madison.

I installed myself in the Hotel Dallas and called in my room number. She arrived before I could take a shower and shave. She was tall, with high cheekbones and captivating eyes. A model indeed.

We chatted a little, she went and took a shower. She came out wrapped in a towel and I went in for a quick shower.

When I came out she and her magnificent legs were stretched out on the bed.

I kissed my way up that long body. She enjoyed me kissing her nipples.

She put her tongue in my ear and I melted.

She gave me excellent oral sex, with no condom. Deep throat, lots of spit and noise.

After a while I couldn't take it and had her flip to 69. Beautiful and smelled sweet. Tasted great. I worked my way up to her tight little perfectly shaped rose bud. She moaned her approval.

I came close to finishing several times,then I had her get on all fours as I did her doggie style. Her moans might have been a little faked but the visual was too much for me to last much longer and I let a huge load go. After a rest, round two.

Great attitude. I would repeat in a minute.

Cost BsF 350 for the girl, BsF 60 taxi surcharge but she pocketed that. BsF 220 for the room. I gave her BsF 40 for all the pictures. I'll add more details or answer questions later.

She gave me excellent oral sex, with no condom. Deep throat, lots of spit and noise.

After a while I couldn't take it and had her flip to 69. Beautiful and smelled sweet. Tasted great. I worked my way up to her tight little perfectly shaped rose bud. She moaned her approval.

I came close to finishing several times,then I had her get on all fours as I did her doggie style. Her moans might have been a little faked but the visual was too much for me to last much longer and I let a huge load go. After a rest, round two.

Great attitude. I would repeat in a minute.

Cost BsF 350 for the girl, BsF 60 taxi surcharge but she pocketed that. BsF 220 for the room. I gave her BsF 40 for all the pictures. I'll add more details or answer questions later.[/QUOTE]

1 question: What's the current approximate black market rate for changeing $USD to bolivars?

For the record, Barron's lists the official rate at 2146 Bolivars/1USD.

Thanks, Schwmm

Barron's is using the old currency the Bolivar. The currency was re-named and re-dominated in 2008. the new currency is the Bolivar Fuerte denoted as BsF and they just chopped three zeros. So 1000 became 1 bolivar.

The current permuta rate is about 8:1 in favor of the dollar.

Right. Thanks. I figured that was the case. Curious as to why Barrons still cites the old currency and rate.

About 8:1 is the rate I had stored in the back of my mind. Apparently that's where it's hovered since the last devaluation several months ago.

At that exchange rate and at 410 total BsF for the girl (plus pix), a piece of ass of her quality and time and attitude is very cheap.

Once again, nice catch.

Aragon, whew, hot stuff. A George Thorogood song called Madison Blues is ringing thru my head right now.

i've got a lot of things to do before i leave on monday so i thought i would save time by ordering in.

i called antonella that the sexy caracas forum described as a milf and extreme anal queen. i had tried to hook up with here once before but things didn't work out.

she said she would be right over and in about 30 minutes she rang me from the cab for final approach instructions.

i went down stairs to meet her and she popped out of the cab. a lot younger than i had expected. casual top, small boobs, tight jeans and a big ass and high heels. bubbly bright demeanor. up in the lift we go as i rub her crotch and try to dfk her. she tells me to take it easy.

into my apartment and i take her to the living room , she admires the view i stand behind her and rub my bulge against her ass and massage her tits. she gets into it for a while and then asks for her gift. buzz kill. i go into the other room and come back with 500, i tuck it in her back pocket, she squeals and acts like no one has ever done that before. i tell her there was a little extra for the cab, she tells me it was more expensive than 50. buzz kill 2. (to be fair, caracas cabs are notoriously expensive and none of them have meters.)

we start making out on the sofa and strip, then she says she wants to take a shower, sigh, i guess if she is going to be fresh i should too.

i get out of the shower and there she is on the sofa sitting with her legs spread wide and her hips thrust out i can see both her holes. i spring to attention.

i'm ready do dive in but she stands up on the sofa and asks me to suck her tits.

she pretty quickly kneels on the sofa facing the window, that ass is big, round and smooth. i start kissing my way around the terrain but i can't quite get to her snatch.

i get her bottle of lube and slick up my index finger and work it into her ass. she makes moaning sounds and gives direction, "yes, slower, easy, yes."

i'm enjoying this and lube up another finger, two go in, not complaints but her reaction is about the same. i want to go all german on her, but take it slow. i lube a third finger and in it goes.

she's getting into it, i'm enjoying it, and then suddenly i start to sweat. sweating buckets. it starts to pour on her feet and ankles. she notices, i get the towel that she had showered in , wipe her off and my noggin and we keep going, but i begin to feel self-conscious and lose wood. i keep plugging her ass with my fingers and she enjoys it. i want to fuck her ass so she starts giving me a bbbj and slips on the condom.

i must have been worried about my water works, because i can't keep it beyond half mast. off goes the condom and she gives me a very good blow job and up i go, she slides on a second condom and mounts me, she had trouble finding a comfortable position and i lose my lance. i suggest that the sit with three of my fingers up her ass as she blows me.

she still can't get comfortable so i suggest heading to the bed. on our way there we pass this computer and i try to convince her to have sex on chat roulette. she is having none of the internet. off to bed. we are down to her third and last condom. i tell her to wait and start asking her questions about her sexual history. trying to get her to say what turned her into such an anal maniac.

she starts telling me and i get hard, she starts blowing me but pausing to tell me "focus, focus…" she slips the last one on and takes me in her pussy. i keep asking her more questions, but i can tell her delivery is faked i lose it again. she offers a bbbjtc but i pass.we lounge around in bed and i pull her on top of me and i tell her to just lay still as we keep talking. pretty soon i'm grinding her over my crotch and i'm hard again. this goes on for a good long while and them she notices our hour is up. i tell her not to worry, but i don't like that she noticed. after a lot of rubbing she is jilling off and i'm stroking next to her and suddenly i get up and blow a very big load over her tit (i tried to get bbfs out of her but she was having none of that.)

as she was getting dressed she agreed to some pictures. sidebar - even though i had had a bad performance i can't blame it all on her, despite some obvious faux pas she had a nice personality and a good energy level.

i'm now wondering it this girl with the great ass is actually the same woman previously reviewed or if the previous antonella had sold her name to another anal queen, sort of like the dread pirate roberts in the princess bride. it is worth noting that although i had three digits up her poopchute, they never got dirty and they never smelled.

Aragorn,

Very cute inded. Notwithstanding the fact that she is a pro, is this girl physically representative of the euro-ethnic women in Caracas?

I think she is exceptionally tall, but yeah, the face is right. My desktop was packed off to day, but when I get it reassembled I will post some cadid snaps from the Sambil shopping mall.

Last Friday I found this one on the Andres Bello Ave. stroll about 1:00 AM didn't feel like a fuck so I offered he 60BsF to play with her titties and take a few pics.

She agreed. Smooth skin, smelled good, almost went for FS, but her mercenary attitude put me off.

I left Caracas with about 380 unspent Bolivares. When I got to Miami I went to one of the currency exchange banks and they said they would buy the Bolivars at 11:1. Gasp!

Luckily I had bought these BsF in Caracas at a rate of 8:1 so I wasn't taking that big a loss.

The girl in Miami said they were selling BsF at a rate of 6:1 So any mongers would be well advised to buy a couple hundred BsF in Miami and remember to spend everything before you leave.

I guess I should have asked about an airport quickie.

What's the official exchange for the Bolivar fuerte these days? I imagine about 4.3? Are you getting 8 in the shops or on the street?

Venezuela has a closed currency market. The government sets the rate of exchange. There are currently several exchange rate tiers depending on the type of transaction.

Importing food or medicine for the revolution 2.15 to 2.6

Importing non essential material 4.3

Importing luxury good and you are not a friend of the revolution suffer the open market.

If the store does not have a connection with the U.S. or Europe (are they importing merchandise, do the owners regularly travel for business or pleasure) then they will have little interest in changing your currency.

A hotel bellman is a guy who meets lots of travelers, Venezuelan and otherwise, and can make a business out of it.

Remember I posted about how visiting Russian sailors were shocked that stores in an upscale shopping mall would not accept dollars. However, the malls well heeled patrons were happy to exchange with the visiting Russkies at the free market permuta rate.

One more thing, the gov has clamped down on the permuta rate because they said it was a conspiracy to bankrupt Venezuela by undervaluing the currency.

I got my money from a sanctioned permuta trader at a rate of 8:1 The company is called SerFinCorp. They are on the web

Going from 8 - 1 to 11 - 1 sounds horrible until we all realize that it is no big deal when we take the reciprocal, go from about 12 cents US to 9 cents US.

Venezuelan girls compared with Colombian and Brasilian have a very bad and poor attitude for sex and to know men, I don' t know why but I have lived in Venezuela to say that Colombians are better, more calientes, more easy and nice, more Latinas, Venezuelans are more european and they don't smile.

I owe you gentle mongers a report or two from Venezuela. Saturday of last week I sold my car to a local and waled back. This was just on the eastern edge of the Libertador borough of Caracas. These are pictures of daytime street walkers. I have not sessioned with any of these women.

The first I strolled up on was blonde MILF Carola. When I got within a meter of her I was almost knocked over by her heavy perfume. Turns out Carola is closer to a granny than a MILF. I asked how much and she told me BsF 125 for full service. I almost took her up on it, since I had driven past her almost every weekend for a year. Upon closer examination she looked very saggy, if this had been a Tim Burton movie, her saggy skin would have split open and bugs would have spilled out. The little patches of surgical tape on her face and ears made me question if she had some skin tags removed or was covering up something worse so I passed.

FYI, there are at least three low end short time hotels within two blocks of their street. I walked down Ave. Las Acacias and saw two more SWs. I crossed Libertador and was going to visit a brothel but I saw this blonde crossing the street so I followed her. She was MILF material but I had never seen her on the stroll. The way she was being greeted by the local street denizens made me think she might have been a local madam.

I followed her to the Plaza Venezuela end of the Sabana Grande pedestrian boulevard.

You will have more than enough sex in Caracas, if you have to travel, go to Valencia. Unless you speak fluent Spanish, clubbing at night is not wise.

Me and a buddy will be traveling to Caracas this Febuary-first time in Venezuela. We will only be in the city 2 or 3 nights then off to Los Roques for a week of fly fishing. I know that Los Roques has no "scene" so I plan to bring along a few friends. I have been to Colombia several times(next trip Early November) and am fairly well connected so I can fly in a few gals for the week-but I would prefer a couple native local girls and keep the $$ in Venezuela. My question is-Based on the Caracas reports, it appears the scene in is not that good and the chances of finding a couple gals for a vacation in 2 nights of mongering does not seem that great. Am I off base here or should I pre-plan and import a couple gals?

Really? Who is your fly fishing guide? Because the service in Los Roques, and Venezuela is so crappy, tourism and as a result fishing pressure is very low. You should have a pretty good chance of scoring a triple play.

Easiest way to do this is to contact the independents listed in the local Sexy Caracas website in ADVANCE and tell them what you want. Next is invite the gal to your room while in Caracas, bang her and if you like her service make the offer. Third is to get a less expensive girl from an agency in your room and bang her, make the offer.

Secret of Love and Sexy Hot seem to specialize in girls new to the trade so they might be more taken in by the "glamor" of an all expense paid trip to Los Roques.

A caution, when I mongered with indy Pantera Neftis, she was telling a guy "I can ge on a bus tonight, but I'mm going to need you to bu me some dresses, and bathing suits.blah blah blah

Are listed way back in the general or Caracas forum. Since I speak fluent Spanish, I never evaluated their Spanish skills. Try the search function.

This is more of a suggestion than a report. I think that a thread devoted solely to the black-market rate for USA dollars or Euros would be very helpful for those who plan a trip to Venezuela. As anyone who has been there knows, only a fool exchanges his money at the official rate or uses a credit card while in the country. If people could post how many Bs. They got for a dollar or euro and perhaps where they got the deal (without getting anyone involved in trouble), it would be of great help to hobbyists. The problem with any country that has a two-tiered monetary system (Chavez's fantasy exchange rate and the real world) is that foreigners never know if they are getting ripped off or, worse, set up. What do you guys think?

Utterly pointless. Nobody has the cojones to try mongering here. I don't live there any more so I don't care. Besides, they have entire websites dedicated to the parallel exchange rate. Why re-invent the wheel.

I just got back from a trip to Los Roques and spent 3 days in Caracas. Basically the City is a joke as far as mongering goes. Stayed at Altimira suites which was a decent hotel and OK staff. In short, Caracas is very very unsafe-constant crime everywhere. The whole crew from Air France were robbed at gunpoint in a 5 star restaraunt while I was there. Taxi drivers are dangerous (no liscense required) so anyone can dress as a cabi and scam you. My guide carried a pistol at all times, this pretty much tells it all. People were unfriendly and had no interest in helping tourists: the people don't even look at you. By the way I didn't see one other white tourist except for at the airport and now I know why. Perhaps if you look latino it may be different but I never felt comfortable or welcome-this holds true for the Avancia airport staff. Basically I booked the first flight I could out of the City. Congrats Chavev U-turned a great city into a "shit hole". Pm me if you want more info.

Sir, I agree with you Venezuelan are one of the most beautiful women in the world, they conquire all kinds of beauty pageants.

Similar culture etc, but Venezuela must be extremely dangerous, or considered to be with hardly no one going there for having fun with in the country that claims to have the most beautiful girls in the world.

Or is it the fake-currency? Current political chaos?

Venezuela have won most Miss World titles but no one goes to this country which also is said to have a splendid nature?

What is wrong there?

I fucking love Venezuelan women but am loathe to visit. There was another report of an airline crew robbed in the middle of dinner in a Caracas restaurant. The whole crew! But can't find the link.

[url]https://www.osac.gov/Pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=13038[/url]

Excerpt from above web site:

The road between the Simóand Bolivar International Airport and Caracas is a notoriously dangerous road. Visitors traveling this route at night have been kidnapped and held captive for ransom in roadside huts that line the highway. Because of the frequency of robberies at gunpoint, travelers are encouraged to arrive to and depart from the airport only during daylight hours. If not possible, travelers should use extra care both in and outside the airport at night.

In October 2011, an Avianca Airlines flight crew was en route to the airport from the Marriott Playa Grande Hotel at approximately 5:30 a. M. As the shuttle was approaching the international terminal, three armed individuals boarded and demanded that the driver keep driving and circle the airport. The crew was robbed of jewelry, money, and electronic devices. Afterwards, they demanded that the driver let them off at a pedestrian bridge and escaped to the nearby neighborhood called Barrio Aeropuerto.

[quote]the president of venezuela is starting to get scary

business insiderby linette lopez | business insider

since the passing of its charismatic leader, hugo chavez, venezuela has stayed out of most usa headlines. that should change, as the policies of president nicolas maduro have started to raise some serious red flags.

in april, maduro beat his opponent in venezuela's presidential election, henrique capriles radonski, with the lowest margin of support in years.

his predecessor, chavez, had not only been the leader of venezuela, but also a leader of the latin american left. chavez symbolized an ideology that believed in the rigor and potential of a region united to find alternatives to a usa dominated, unipolar world.

maduro lacks that spark.

and he also faces the highest inflation rate in the world (at 49. 4% in september). to combat this rate, the former bus driver turned statesman has asked venezuela's legislators to grant him sweeping powers.

from bloomberg:

the decree would enable maduro to either deepen state control of the economy or loosen foreign exchange controls to stimulate production, said asdrubal oliveros, director of caracas-based research group ecoanalitica.

the governing coalition of late president hugo chavez is one vote short of the three-fifths majority required by the constitution to pass the so-called enabling law used for special presidential powers. assembly president diosdado cabello said after maduro's speech that he's confident the law will be approved.

opposition leader henrique capriles radonski, who won 49 percent of the vote in april's presidential election, warned the government against pushing through the bill without a three-fifths majority.

'the government would have to come in with tanks and rifles if they want to apply this enabling law, ' he said in his weekly address broadcast on the internet.

maduro presented this as a decree against corruption.

now, to put this is context, chavez himself ruled through these powers for over four years of his presidency, but as nomura put it in a note earlier this month,"post election tensions continue to run high, casting doubt over nicolas maduro's ability to grasp firmly over the reins of power."

in other words, maduro does not have the legitimacy that chavez had. he does not, as capriles radonski suggested, have the authority to push these sweeping powers through without a three-fifths majority.

as such, nomura has placed venezuela on a list of 10 countries to watch for unrest, along with china, india, argentina, south africa, russia, and more.

maduro seems to know this. argentine news service clarin reported yesterday that maduro advocated jail time for journalists who reported shortages of natural gas back in 2001. shortages of electricity and toilet paper (among other items) have become common in the country.

these are the actions of an administration that cannot suffer even the slightest suggestion of descent.[/quote]

Venezuela authorities hunt 'currency tourists'

Reuters.

[quote]By Eyanir Chinea October 17, 2013.

CARACAS (Reuters). In the immigration area of Venezuela's biggest airport, about a dozen officials in red T-shirts and baseball caps randomly check passengers leaving the country.

The officials are not guards or police: they are bureaucrats at state currency board Cadivi investigating whether travelers' documents match their requests for hard-to-get dollars.

The new checks, launched this month, have contributed to infuriating, hours-long queues at the Simon Bolivar international airport, which serves Caracas, Venezuela's capital.

"Unfortunately, people are always going to try and beat the system," said photographer Francisco Blanco, looking irritated in a slow-moving queue before his flight to Paris.

"The problem is that we still have currency controls. So there are a lot of tricks going on. And with the black market price of the dollar so high, it's difficult to stop them."

So-called "currency tourism" has become a major problem for President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government as Venezuelans make profits using a play on the South American country's tightly regulated foreign exchange system.

There are strict limits on the availability of dollars at the official rate of 6.3 bolivars per dollar.

But with an airline ticket, an individual can exchange Venezuelan bolivars for up to $3,000 at that rate. Many of those greenbacks are diverted for sale on the black market, where each dollar can fetch about seven times the official rate.

The farther away the traveler's destination, the higher the allocation of dollars, meaning there is also a trade in illegal tickets to fool Cadivi when dollar requests are made.

"We're very rigorous on the authenticity of tickets," said Cadivi security manager Rafael Marfisi as a line of travelers hurried to have their details checked in a computerized database.

"Many people tell Cadivi they're going to destinations such as Costa Rica, Peru and Ecuador. And then they travel to closer places such as Panama, Aruba or Curacao."

A trip within the Caribbean entitles a Venezuelan to buy up to $1,000 from the government at the official rate, while Peru warrants the maximum allocation of $3,000.

CHAVEZ-ERA CONTROLS.

A decade of currency controls, first put in place by late leader Hugo Chavez, has largely failed to reduce capital flight and inflation.

Venezuela's economy is beset by shortages of consumer goods, and annual inflation rose to almost 50 percent last month.

The checks take place after travelers have passed through security and before they reach the airport's passport desks.

The operation is a pilot program ordered by Maduro, who has vowed to crack down on currency tourism, which he says is part of an "economic war" being waged against his government.

"We've discovered people who ask for dollars on behalf of juveniles, and then later their children don't board the plane," Marfisi said. While there with a group of journalists, his team identified four travelers whose requests for dollars did not tally with their records.

Such cases are forwarded to state prosecutors, who will then decide whether to bring illegal currency exchange charges that could result in a fine or up to seven years in prison.

Staff at the airport who normally search for illicit substances and contraband also now have the right to search a traveler's wallet or purse for dollars, or credit cards in the names of friends of relatives.

Amid the grumbles and long faces in the queue, some were supportive of the crackdown.

"The Cadivi coupon should not be transferable, and state resources must be used for education, sports or tourism purposes," said Wolfgang Mejias, a professional fencer, as he waited for a flight to Europe.

"It doesn't bother me if they check me or ask questions."

The government plans to introduce fingerprint scanners to examine departing Venezuelans' credentials even more closely.

There seme to be an option; exchange via Paypal account. Anyone tried it?

A commentary on the article says "you must bring cash". But the risk might be high, loosing it all, since all assume you are bringing along a lot of cash.

1000% difference now parallel exchange rate to official.

Cash is the only way.

I used my credit card six times when I was there. Four of charges I used at good hotels. The other two were at a beach store and one at the airport.

My card got charged $5000.

A. Close to Colombian-Venezuelan border can one exchange currency using the parallel rate and thus one can enter Venezuela with bolivars bought at the parallel level?

B. Bank-Bank international transfer. Must be an option used by foreigners living in Venezuela?

C. The Paypal option.

Is it easy to exchange dollars for bolivars on the street? If the official exchange rate is 6. 3 per dollar, and you can actually get 40, that makes for a great bargain vacation. You could conceiveably visit the country with just about $1000 in cash and have a great time!

Does anyone know of someone who has tried it?

It is sad, sad, sad to realize that we cannot really enjoy being in Venezuela with the great Venezuelan girls.

Some of the most beautiful and sensual women I have ever seen, whether in real life or virtual, are from Caracas. The consistent level of beauty and attractiveness of girls from there is well beyond other places.

So, since Caracas is dead to us nowadays, is there an alternative inside Venezuela?

Is there a City or town with low crime rate, relative safety and a good P4 P scene?

Or is it a mess all over right now?

There are other cities apart from Caracas though, for example Maracaibo. How is the situation there? Anyone been there lately and can share with us some experience?

I realized all the women of Zulia were incredibly hot on Latinamericancupid, so that area would be a great option. Anyways traveling to Venezuela alone is still something I can't bring myself over to do, and most likely not in the near future.

I have long wanted to go to Venezuela, mostly for general tourism, but also for punting on the side, but was hesitant for so long because of the turmoil. But now, in the last month, the exchange rate has gotten SO INSANE that I can't resist. The official exchange rate is 1:6. Now the black market rate, which I have been hearing is not hard to get, is 1:260! We are talking about nice hotels for $20, and beers for 10 cents.

Anyone got info about punting in Puerto Ordaz, Ciudad Bolivar, or Santa Elena? Can you imagine what the rates after dollar conversion must be?

Apparently, Caracas is so dangerous that I have NO interest in going there. In fact, I plan to never leave the Caracas airport if possible.

Caracas is pretty damn dangerous, true, but truth to be told is also the city with the most game in the country. Risk and reward, as most things in life.

I do live in the city of Maracaibo, and I'd say the place is pretty good for mongering if you know where to look. As you said, the anomalous currency exchange situation in Venezuela works massively in favor of the tourist, to the point is even a bit difficult to illustrate how cheap things can be if you carry dollars and find a way to sell it at black market prices. Which I must say is incredibly easy because everybody (me included, hah!) at least knows somebody who buys dollars. Playing in the black market exchange for american currency actually is way more profitable than dealing with drugs (I know, sounds insane), which of course has generated that everybody wants to get a piece of that action.

Personally, I've been doing freelance design work over the internet. Little things that at an average earns me $300 per month. Which may be a pittance in the US, but here? I am getting over 14 times the average national monthly wage, of a person who works 8 hours a day, six days per week. Madness.

Fortunately, this situation of having quite a bit of cash to spend has allowed me to come in contact with a local "Madame", who handles working girls of all sorts of girls, from top-tier high-class pros to "girl next door" types who you will find in the classrooms of local colleges. It's been quite fun time these years, that I can't deny.

To give an example, $20 will net you a couple of hours with a 18 yo 9/10 stunner. I'd put a pic to better illustrate but being a noob in the forum I am not sure if it is allowed here. A cousin who stayed a while ago said it better "the best looking cheapest working girls in the world".

Well, if you (or anyone else) has a question, I'd gladly collaborate with my knowledge, limited as it may be.

One thing to consider: Right now the price appears to be BS 404 per dollar, but that's the official price of the exchange in Cucuta, Colombia, which is what's being used as a reference. The informal ask price you will find on the street is the one below, BS 355. Which is still pretty darn good, heh.

It's illegal to do business in dollars here in Venezuela, so officially most places will tell you that you need bolivares to pay. Of course, things could be negotiated under-the-table and you will find that people here are more than accommodating to getting paid in US currency. Odds are the receptionist will take the dollars and pay the bill on his own pocket money. On the other hand, it is not really a good idea to carry and show around those greens, so I say use bolivares if possible.

So, if you don't know any Spanish than Venezuela is out of the question? I'm thinking about traveling there on a whim and I'm wondering if I'll survive or maybe there is a guide I can hire.

Thanks!

[/QUOTE]Those articles are surprisingly (and refreshingly) right on the spot, the guy actually does know what he is talking about. And you know, the article about the cash exchange indirectly shows a problem the tourist could face with our Bolivares. The largest denomination bill available is the 100 Bolivares bill, of which you can see large amounts of them in the pics. And that's a thing to consider, you will need to carry a LOT of those bills to do stuff. Like, for a normal (as in, not trying to get yourself some local girl, heh) trip to a good mall, eating lunch there and buying stuff around, you could easily need to have 100 of those bills with you. Basically, if you are travelling to Venezuela and wish to take advantage of the exchange black market, don't expect to be able to carry all the cash needed in your wallet.

Thanks![/QUOTE]Unfortunately, few people here are fluid in the language. Heck, few people have knowledge past of the very basic English they learned at school.

To illustrate the point, early this year, I was visiting some family I have in Caracas. While they were at the theater (nephews wanted to watch The Hobbit, and I wasn't really up for that) at the Sambill Mall, in order to kill time I decided to do a little experiment, I want around from shop to shop pretending to be a English-speaking tourist (yes, I was that bored, heh! To my surprise, in the entire mall I only found one clerk who knew how to speak English, a young college girl who told me she was interested in immigrating to the US in the future. Bear in mind the Sambill Mall is a pretty upscale place, a spot for tourists with cash.

Basically, if you can't speak Spanish, it could prove to be a very difficult time if you go around alone. A good idea would be to ask at the hotel you are staying, if they know somebody trustworthy who is up for the ask.

On the other hand, I do know that the Centro Comercial Ciudad Tamanaco (or CCCT as most people call it) has a four star hotel, and what's convenient is that I know of at least one (and there are probably more!) massage parlor which provides sexual services. The mall is also a well known meeting point for girls looking to win an easy buck, and if you do plan to visit Caracas soon, from July 1 thru 5 the mall will be hosting a local erotic festival, the ExpoSexo 2015, and that quite obviously draws in an interesting crowd.

As for the latter, I usually go to the Dallas or the Aladdin, pretty nice motels and most Caraqueñas are OK to be taken there.

Do lady's have condoms cause I seen reports that condoms cost like $700 for 32 condoms in Venezuela.

Hello friends,

Is there any way I can get to Venezuela without a visa? I'm a US citizen and I will be in Colombia within 3 weeks. The Venezuelan require you apply for your visa 3 months in advance and is almost impossible due to diplomatic ties.

Can I travel trough bus / train / or auto and get in? If caught what is the penalty for entry without visa?

I'm a traveling backpacker / monger and I'm fluent in English and Spanish, so language won't be an issue. Thanks for your time and any response.

Hay forma de entrar a Venezuela sin visa? Soy ciudadano de Estados Unidos why estare en Colombia dentro de 3 semanas. Venezuela requiere que aplique para una visa, 3 meses de anticipaciand why es casi imposible por razones diplomaticas.

Soy mochilero why monger why hablo muy bien el espanol why Ingles why entonces el lenguage no sera problema. Gracias por su tiempo why respuesta.

Yes, a box of 36 Trojans (which is the sample that Newsweek used for that article) would cost over $700. If you go by the official exchange price, that's it. Which of course, no tourist would ever do. If you exchange your dollars by black market prices, the same box would go for the equivalent of $12, which I understand it's the normal price in the US of A.

OK I get the prices about condoms. I just wanted to know do girls have them or should I bring my own.

[QUOTE=CorkyMexican;1737976]OK I get the prices about condoms. I just wanted to know do girls have them or should I bring my own.[/QUOTE]Definitely bring your own. In fact, bring them from your own country, not because of the price here but due supply issues.

[QUOTE=Manny51;1741634]Does anyone have a handle on the scene in Venezuela right now? Not just Caracas, but in other places like Merida, or anywhere else tourists might go?

Yeah, but everytime I read those reports about how bad Venezuela is, they are always talking about Caracas. I don't have the slightest interest in Caracas, and would avoid it all together except for an entry point. I would probably book a same day connecting flight, Audi 5000.

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.

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.

[QUOTE=Combo;1742200]I was in Caracas in 2001 and it was a war zone, and I'm assuming it's much worse now.[/QUOTE]It is. To illustrate the point, Caracas is the city with the second highest murder rate in the world, with 115.98 per 100 K people. And some ONGs actually put that rate over 130 or even 150 murders per 100 K, as the local government in Caracas is known for classifying whatever violent crimes as other things if they have the chance, to make the numbers look better (which is hilariously tragic since the numbers are still terrible).

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.

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.

Things are desperate in Venezuela. The only way that place would survive is if they cut the police in on it.

I think that Hotel Del Rey is a better model, rather than Casa Medellin. The bar or spa HAS to be part of an established hotel, for security purposes.

I imagine that freelancers would be the only way to go. The trick is finding a venue where dependable providers can gather. I mean, the last thing that anyone would want to do is walk into some spa or apartment for "services." You would just be robbed by that guy waiting in the closet. And they would not be shy at all for leaving you for dead.

And even so, you calculations are off, heh. The girl in that link asks BS. 18000 for 2 hours. Going by today's exchange rate, that would be $33, not $50-$75.

By the way, it took a while (she was off the city), but I finally managed to get it with the lady I mentioned before. Slim figure, fantastic natural boobs, cute face, and a fantastic kisser. All of that, for two hours = BS. 3500, which going by today's exchange rates = $6.50.

There seems to be a lot of activity on the Venezuela thread since I posted a report on Maracaibo in March, on a thread which was dead for years.

Message for USA Citizens: Update: Tourist Visa Requirements for USA Citizens Traveling to Venezuela. March 4, 2015 (March 4, 2015) United States Embassy Caracas.

On March 3, the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, DC posted updated tourist visa information for USA Citizens planning travel to Venezuela. According to the website of the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, USA Citizens should plan to apply for a visa three months in advance of travel. USA Citizens should expect to pay $30 for a one-year, multiple-entry visa good for a 90 day stay in Venezuela.

All USA Citizens planning travel to Venezuela must have a tourist visa. The USA Embassy in Caracas is aware that airlines have refused to board USA Citizens who do not possess a Venezuelan tourist visa. The Embassy strongly urges all USA Citizens planning travel to Venezuela to check both the Venezuelan Embassy's English and Spanish webpages regularly for the most up to date information about visa application requirements and procedures. USA Citizens should direct questions to the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, DC or Venezuelan Consulates currently located in Boston, New York City, Chicago, New Orleans, Houston, San Francisco, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Please visit the Venezuelan Embassy's Spanish-version webpage for the most up to date information: [URL]http://eeuu.embajada.gob.ve/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35&Itemid=57&lang=es.[/URL].

The Venezuelan Embassy's English-version webpage is not currently up to date: [URL]http://eeuu.embajada.gob.ve/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35:visa-de-turista&catid=9:tramites&Itemid=57&lang=en[/URL].

Dangers lurk at every nook and corner. Do not for one moment think. Nothing will happen to you. I met many locals who had horror stories about their family members or friends getting shot in a mall during day time and not being able to walk again etc.

However, the smaller city such as Puerto la Cruz and Punto Fijo. I found them very safe unlike any Latin american country.

But I can not say the same for Caracas and Maracaibo.

I used bullet proof cars in Caracas. One of the taxi drivers told me that the robbers can even throw acid at you when you are at red light awaiting signal so he refused to lower the windows!

One of the receptionists told me a story of German tourist shot inside lobby of Hotel Eurobuilding, few months ago.

So danger is everywhere. Hope it answers your question.

There are no medicines available in Caracas. The farmacias don't have most common medicines.

If you are traveling here, carry your favorite medicines for diarrhea, constipation, fever, common cold, headache, allergy etc.

I did not and I suffered a lot.

Those looking for a trophy wife, this is a great place to look for one.

Almost everyone is looking to escape the country.

So if you can be her Prince Charming, who knows.

But this won't happen in a day. You will have to spend quality time here. But by doing that, your odds of running into a danger is also high.

Saw many rich and old local men walking with extremely pretty and sophisticated women.

Yes, the good news. Sure, you can pay the chicas in USD in Venezuela.

The bad news. Don't expect that she will accept 8 usd and start sucking your dick.

Listen, if you tell the chica " My love, I don't have bolivars, I have only USD. And I will like to pay you in USD" - Expect the chica to ask you for 70-150 usd. However, same chica will chica will gladly accept 4000 15000 bolivars gladly and will be thankful to you.

The main reason the equation changes in USD because of 4 different rates in the country. And the chica very well knows that for a foreigner to get a good black market rate is very tough. And when she knows you have no bolivars, she holds all the aces!

So do not even **attempt** to offer her USD. Always pay and negotiate in Bolivars.

FYI, a good educated person with a college degree in mid 30 and work experience of 10 years earns 10,000 BS in Caracas. So when you pay the chicas in BS, remember that figure in mind.

Hope this helps.

How to change money in Caracas.

OK guys.

There are four ways to change money in Caracas.

A) The most easy way for you guys will be to check in at Hotel Eurobuilding (fantastic hotel) and I can assist you connect with one of the workers in this hotel who changes money on demand as much and when you want.

The way to find the black market rate is:

[URL]https://dolartoday.com[/URL]

Presently, the listed rate is 676 BS for 1 USD. This contact of mine gives 1 usd = 550 Bolivars.

Cost of chicas range from 3500 BS per hour to 20000 BS per hour in Caracas. Do the Maths yourself.

B) The second way to do it is to find friends, relatives of friends in Venezuela. This is the best option. I found friends of friends in Ven. They changed me.

1 usd= 650 BS. Or 1 usd = 600 BS (different friends / different negotiations).

This kind of rate can only be sought when you do it with a friend / acquaintance. No hotel will give you such a rate.

C) You can change at exchange houses at Samadi rates.

1 usd- 197 BS (official is 1 usd- 6.5 BS).

D) You can also change at airports or with taxi drivers but its extremely dangerous. The rates offered by these guys are.

1 usd- 400 BS (when 1 usd= 676 BS in Black Market).

So to sum it all, stay in hotel Eurobuilding, when in Caracas.

Yes, the hotel is Chica friendly.

Yes, the hotel also has chicas who live there under the management of the hotel and can be availed by the clients.

Rates 1 hour= 20000 BS.

Hope this helps.

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.

I was in Maracaibo 2 1/2 to 3 years ago. When I was there the official exchange was 4 to1. Black market was 9 to 1.

We exchanged dollars very easily on the black market.

I can tell you that almost every where we went. Clubs, Casa's, Strip club, bars etc the price was adjusted for the black market rate. The only time we received the advantage is when we bought sim cards for our cell phones or in the super markets, high class restaurants etc. Of course Marachucho is living there now and I am sure that he knows best but, it seemed to me that businesses where cash was used (again Strip clubs, bars, MP's, Casas etc) they already adjusted for the black market rate because they were well aware most people using cash were easily able to exchange on the black market and get the inflated rate.

The exchange rate being 600 to 1 now maybe is so high that its not fully adjusted for in cash establishments.

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.

[/QUOTE]You know, I have family in Punto Fijo (in fact, it's pretty much my second home), but that never did occur to me. Yes, you are absolutely right, Las Piedras is indeed a small airport without the hassle of the bigger international airports, and it is pretty easy to get there flying from either Aruba or Curaca. Solid, good advice.

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.

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.

The reality is the socialist government don't want people to have cash as they want to track everyone's spending that is why your have.

To produce your passport to buy a bottle of coke, but they are too incompetent to follow through.

The Largest note (bs100) was worth 2. 1 cents last week it's now worth 2. 2 cents.

The cost of printing a US $100 note is about 10 cents and the Venezuelan BS should be similar figure that out when the smallest note Bs2 is.

Worth about 1/25th of a cent.

Venezuela has asked for tenders to print 900 million notes this year, the Eu & US governments only print 800 million per year so.

I figure if they where going to print anything over 1,000 notes they would not need so many.

There is also the problem of Venezuela paying for the notes as they still owe Thomas de la rue 100's of millions of $ for printing.

Most counties make a profit printing notes (US $99.90) Venezuela loses a small fortune doing the same.

Hi,

I have read the last few pages here and in the Caracas sub. I live in Brazil, have never been to Venezuela and was wondering if it is a good time to visit Venezuela for some discount mongering.

Maybe you are saying "WTF? Of course". But in spite of all the information on the most recent pages about the exchange rate, how to exchange, tips about using free lancers instead of agencies etc. All good stuff. I did not get a good sense if all things considered this is a great time to go or not. Obviously, with the exchange rate very favorable, I have some USD on hand, it seems like a bargain of bargains. Unless most of the hottest girls have left for greener pastures, or they are raising their prices to keep pace with the diving currency. Can someone provide the big picture answer?

[QUOTE=LifeIsABeach;1752508]Message for USA Citizens: Update: Tourist Visa Requirements for USA Citizens Traveling to Venezuela. March 4, 2015 (March 4, 2015) United States Embassy Caracas.

On March 3, the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, DC posted updated tourist visa information for USA Citizens planning travel to Venezuela. According to the website of the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, USA Citizens should plan to apply for a visa three months in advance of travel. USA Citizens should expect to pay $30 for a one-year, multiple-entry visa good for a 90 day stay in Venezuela.

All USA Citizens planning travel to Venezuela must have a tourist visa. The USA Embassy in Caracas is aware that airlines have refused to board USA Citizens who do not possess a Venezuelan tourist visa. The Embassy strongly urges all USA Citizens planning travel to Venezuela to check both the Venezuelan Embassy's English and Spanish webpages regularly for the most up to date information about visa application requirements and procedures...[/QUOTE]

Good Job Haitek on your reporting and pictures. Seems like you had a great time.

From the pictures, it seems like you are young and handsome! Did you older men than you there and did they have any issues with picking up the women and having a fun time?

From your recollection, The Chinese and Korean you saw there, did they seem like locals or visitors? Were the prices inflated where the Chinese and Koreans were? In SEA especially Philippines, As they flaunt money, prices sky rocket for women, still cheaper for them in their countries. I will be starting my 6 country travels soon to Latin Americas and SEA but not Valenzuela in this trip but will happen soon.

Anyway, money is the game! I saw old ugly chinese guys with young and sexy chicas. Your age is not important, it is your behavior which is important. Smiling, dancing, drinking (because those girls drink a lot rhum and beer) and the chicas will love you (and off course your money). The boring Chineses paid good money but the chicas go with them only for short time, then hang all the night in the bar with the Filipino and Indonesian guys who are more fun.

Even they give to the chicas more money than what the Venezuelians paid, it still cheap: 50000/40000 bolivars for short time is only 10/12 dollars! Even for Indonesian and Filipino guys, it's still cheap. In Jakarta's brothels or Angeles City gogo-bars, price for short time is at least 20 dollars.

Venezuela devalued it's currency to 1 USD: 2000 Bolivars from 700 Bolivars. The black market rate went to 1 USD: 6000 Bolivars.

"Caracas (AFP) - Swearing in fury, the crowd strips the man naked and stomps on his head as he sprawls on the ground.

"You want things that come easy? Then take this, you bastard."

In Venezuela, this is what robbers get when they are caught by passers-by.

AFP journalists filmed a lynching close-up in a busy street in the capital Caracas.

A witness says he stopped the man who had tried to rob a woman at gunpoint in a bakery. Then the mob took over.

"You're lucky we didn't burn you," a voice yells, as police lug the man, limp but still breathing, into the back of their car.

The crowd yells in satisfaction- but not at the man's arrest. They think they are the ones who have done justice here.

"Their aim is to kill the person before the police arrive," says Marco Ponce, coordinator of the Venezuelan Social Conflict Observatory (OVCS)."

If the locals are going on a lynching spree of muggers and robbers, it might be safe to go there soon! As a traveler once said of England 300 years ago, "Thank God I am returning to a civilized country" when he saw the bodies of thieves hanging from ropes outside an English port from his ship. Won't take many lynchings to make Venezuela safe for tourists from muggers.

I'm thinking about going to Venezuela for a quick visit. I work remotely so I'd like to bring my laptop, but I'm afraid it might get taken from my at the airport by some corrupt police or airport security. What are the chances of me going to Venezuela with a laptop and coming out with it a couple weeks later. This is assuming that I won't be showing it off to anyone, I'd only be using it in my hotel room and keeping it locked and secured in a hotel safe when not in the room.

On a related note, how is the internet access in venezuela? Is it possible to get remote work done?

The airport police will arrest you only if you carry illegal items or if you try to hide 10 laptops to sell them later on black market. The cops and the military dare to rob you out only if you find yourself on an isolated area. But in public in front the crowd, they stick by the rules.
However, one member of this forum was racketeered 20 dollars by an immigration officer when he left the country. For myself, I have used at least ten times the Caracas Airport and I have never been threatened or lost my belongings.

Venezuela is not a dirty third world country. People have tablets and laptops. Many restaurants, bars and hotels offer free Wifi. But I found 4G faster than Wifi and I used my smartphone as internet modem for my laptop. I advise you to get a local phone card with 4G.

I have just spent four weeks in Venezuela, visiting Barcelona, Puerto La Cruz and Cumana. If any of you go to this area, do not hesitate to ask me for information.

Regarding P4 P, I do not have more information compared to what I posted before on this forum. I did not have time to meet prepago chicas for P4 P.
This time, I dated a non-pro and I stayed mostly all the time with her, including living in her family house in Barcelona.

I managed to open a bank account and have a payment card at the Banco Nacional de Credito. To my knowledge, it is the only bank that agrees to open an account to a foreigner with a tourist visa.

The proceedings lasted three days. The most important paper to provide to the bank is the Registro unico de Informacion fiscal (I paid 500,000 bolivars to an accountant to make this paper).

I am in Panama now, just getting ready to fly to Margarita day after tomorrow and having a bit of a hard time getting $100 bills here. The bank machines just dispense $20's. I managed to change a few inside the bank, even though they didn't want to help me because I am not a customer. I just realized that a few of the bills they gave me, are the older (2006) bills without the security strip, and one has a small nick in it. I am wondering whether this is likely going to be a problem and whether I should factor this in when calculating my available cash on hand. I am planning on withdrawing a bit more money from the ATM at the airport before I leave, and am wondering if I should really be trying to change these bills into $100's as well, or whether I might be almost as well of with $20's. One of the ATM's gave me all the $20's in perfect condition, and another (that I changed for $100's) gave a lot of dirty and fairly heavily used bills. Last time I was in Caracas, $50's and $100's where much preferred, but I could get pretty much the same rate for $20's just people weren't as eager to trade for them.

Good morning gents,

I keep running into terms "bank transfers", or "acepto tranferencias bancarias", or "acepto pago movil" to pay for goods or services in Caracas. I don't understand how that works. (assuming I can get a bank account as a foreign tourist, which I know is impossibly hard) Do you have to go to the bank every time to setup a transfer per purchase, or is it done on a cellphone via app, or does "bank transfer" just equals paying by debit card? Just educating myself for a trip early next year.

It's basically a peer to peer transfer which is done online over the Bank application or mobile browser. In Canada it's similar to an interact email transfer.

I'm in Isla margarita now since yesterday and just got a bank card from someone I know but haven't done bank transfers (transferencias) as yet because the account isn't set up as yet. BTW I think it's close to impossible to get a bank card if you're a non Venezuelan. I had to find someone (male) who would lend me their card. So far it's working good but I have 5 days left so going to wait and see how it goes.

Will post a report on Margarita soon. Took me a full day to get cash and a debit card. Its not as easy as going to a money exchanger to get bolivares so make sure you know what you're getting into before coming to Venezuela. Beautiful country but lot of work needs to be done to have access to cashflow here.

Today I saw that black market rate exceeded 10 k Bolivar for 1 us dollar. Crazy. I also read that the shortage of physical cash means that you can't get the black market rate (10 to 15 percent lower) in cash. Given that you can't setup a bank account with a tourist visa (no chance of bank transfers), do you think it is prudent to pay in us dollars? I realize that doing so will make me a target for price gouging, and also make me stand out even more as a foreigner which is unwise for safety reasons. Physically, it is impossible for me to blend in as a Venezuelan to begin with. However, using US dollars make transactions easier. I just want to know how happy vendors are to receive dollars for goods and services.

Thank you.

But if you want to go to a shopping mall and start paying and buying stuff using american currency, the vendors and shops can't take your cash openly because it's against the law. Keyword here is "openly", ask discreetly.

Also, the shortage of cash here is so bad, the few people that have bolivares are in a position to abuse and do whatever they want. Right now if you want to exchange dollars in physical bolivares bills, the rate is 50 K bolivares for 1 dollar. To make a comparision, working with bank transfers will net you a minumum of 80 K for 1 dollar, and you can get better rates.

And getting a local bank account in bolivares for a tourist is not impossible, you just have to find the right person and pay. Some warning here: I was setting up a tourist with a bank account, but unfortunately after paying over 9 million bolivares the bank people did a terrible job at it and the account was not usable. After several days of fighting (once those people have the cash on their pockets, there is little motivation for them to get things done fast) they promised to finally get it fixed this Monday. But the tourist leaves this Monday too. Damn.

I was getting 50 k almost 2 weeks ago when dolartoday was below 80, and I got 75 k per dollar for bolivars in effective just a few days ago, without pushing the price to hard and trying to get top dollar. Another user mentioned he was getting even more, so it is definitely possible. Even at 50 you can still manage very easily. I do most of my payments with a Venezuelan debit card, and avoid using cash as much as possible. That way $50 worth of bolo's last a long time. Since I don't take taxis really I only use efectivo for the few spa's I visit that don't accept debit card and tips for the girls, waiters at the restaurants, and the occasional helpful local.

Just a side note on costs here. It is too crazy to comprehend some days. For example I went to studio Belladonna, the other day as recommended by another user and paid 54,000 bolivars for an hour, with a very friendly chica, in a clean but small room and they accept debit cards, so only paid the tip in bolos. If anyone can actually believe I found a place in centro that charges 12,000 for half an hour, with a girl in a reasonably clean environment. Definitely low end even cheaper than the volta which is 20-25 k for 15-20 minutes. Mindnumbingly incomprehensibly cheap. In my opinion it is reasonably hygienic (in the sense that all of the spas (with the exception of Piccolo and the one in Bellomonte) are basic, minimally hygienic and no frills. Anyways Both places are cash only and at Volta I usually tip between 10-30 k depending on service and at the centro cheapy I tipped between 5-8,000. My hotel which is 3 star is charging 300 k and the other night I had a dinner of Octopus carpaccio, Greek salad, 4 sodas, and two "double" shots of fine rum (one which was 12 years old), and another that is a blend of rums between 5-25 years it cost about $8 and half of that was the two drinks.

[QUOTE=SeanWilkds;2112704]. For example I went to studio Belladonna, the other day as recommended by another user.[/QUOTE]That was me, hahaha, Glad to hear that a recommendation helped somebody.

And man, you have brass balls for going to the Volta, most mongers would see that dilapidated building and run away. I always found the quality in the Volta very mixed and definitely most of the women are not exactly stunners, but from time to time you can find a gem there.

Also, please do mention where did you find that 12 K place.

When you enter the country, do you have to show a proof of payment for a hotel reservation, or just a proof of reservation?

Thanks.

That issue I have been mentioning in past posts about a debit card account that I tried to open to a forum member, ended up in total failure. Said forum memeber will probably make his own post, but basically he paid for something that isn't usable and caused him a lot of troubles, and I must take responsability for that. I fully admit that I am not reliable for these sort of things, so please refrain from asking me to help in Venezuela.

Does anyone have any experience with crossing into Venezuela by land from Cucuta Colombia? Are the authorities going to steal my laptop? I'm in Bogota right now and was thinking about flying to Cucuta, then crossing by land, then flying domestically from some nearby town to Caracas. Or even just taking the bus to Caracas.

The building is just one step above being condemned there is not always running water, and they do not change the sheets more than once a day. It would not look out of place in 1980's Alphabet City. So definitely not the kind of place a lot of western men will patronize, but I end up spending a lot of time there, because it is very nearby where I stay, and it is open Sunday, and late as well. There are a lot of girls there that are not attractive and will not give a good service, but there are about 6-8 that are attractive and / or offer good service. I have also invited a couple of them to my hotel for about 100,000/ HR. And have not had any problems. One stayed the whole night for 200,000. The place actually grew on me a bit, the management on the first floor is friendly and honest, and in my opinion it is not so much the crack working girl level of a brothel that it first appears. I have met 3-4 that give good deepthroat, and CIM. The place in centro is in a centro commercial directly across from metro station Parque Carabobo. It is on the 6th or 7th floor (pretty sure the 7th and has a red door. To reach the elevators you walk to the end of the hallways, then turn left and then turn right. Not all the elevators reach all the floors, so you my advice is get off on the 7th if possible or if not the and the 8th. Start looking for the red door (not too difficult it is a small building) on the 7th and if it is not there (90% sure that it is the 7th), then go down another floor and look on the 6th or ask someone who looks like they won't be offended and may know. That is what I did the first time. I was not sure the first time and asked someone and they confirmed then I rang the bell. I was there just a few days ago and the price was still 12,000 and there were three young (18-22 year old) reasonably attractive and not bad service and 3-4 others that where not interesting to me. I will definitely stop in again, when I am nearby and confirm the price is current and which floor it is on. I also found 4 lower end brothels nearby in La Hoyada (they are all clustered within a block or two of each other nearby the Bombers, and have the same format, you enter a room which is tiled on the floor and the walls, there is a space where the girls sit, and then farther along, or behind a gate there are rooms for service. I didn't ask the price or take a service because there was no one attractive there to me. I may stop by again, but sort of doubt I will find anything interesting to me. Sort of mostly older and not attractive looking girls, but who knows there maybe a few attractive ones around. Better and also nearby is the Edificio Protexo (on Calle Urdaneta), roughly parallel to the place at Parque Carabobo (meaning you walk up-hill several blocks from there until you reach Calle Urdaneta then a couple of blocks along Urdaneta until you find Protexo, it is also a Centro Commercial, the elevators do not work and the stairs are slightly hidden. There are 3 Studios inside this building the first two are on floors 4+5 or 5+6 (sorry I don't remember exactly but 5 is for sure and the other is either one floor up or down, and both are at the far end of the hallway on your right as you exit the stairs. These places are also cheap and not too interesting in my opinion. One had fully naked girls on entering but only 2-3 and not super attractive the price was about 25 k. I think one took only cash and in the other you could pay with your card or cash. Better though (if you have the energy and don't think it is ridiculous walk up to the 11th floor) Yes, you walk up 11 flights of stairs inside a building with no working elevator. At the end of the hall also on your right as you exit the stairs is a set of dark glass doors and a buzzer. Ring the bell and they will let you in. I have met 2-3 attractive and young girls here who gave good, friendly, and enthusiastic service. The price was 40 k half hour and 80 for the hour. If you pay with your card it is slightly more than if you pay with cash.

Keyword here is "openly", ask discreetly.

Also, the shortage of cash here is so bad, the few people that have bolivares are in a position to abuse and do whatever they want. Right now if you want to exchange dollars in physical bolivares bills, the rate is 50 K bolivares for 1 dollar. To make a comparision, working with bank transfers will net you a minumum of 80 K for 1 dollar, and you can get better rates.

And getting a local bank account in bolivares for a tourist is not impossible, you just have to find the right person and pay. Some warning here: I was setting up a tourist with a bank account, but unfortunately after paying over 9 million bolivares the bank people did a terrible job at it and the account was not usable. After several days of fighting (once those people have the cash on their pockets, there is little motivation for them to get things done fast) they promised to finally get it fixed this Monday.

My guess is one in ten thousand american's visiting Venezuela actually run into a bigger issue. Theft by knife, hotel room robbed, etc.

And I would say probably one in 300,000 or more to run into something as serious as the guy from Utah is in or some other serious politically driven issue.

If I walk down the ghetto in any North American major city on a Saturday night my odds of running into problems are much greater.

So, use the same common sense there as you would here. Stay in the safer / nicer areas, don't be flashy, obey local laws, be respectful. If you do this the chances of running into problems in Venezuela is incredibly low.

However, I respect yours and other peoples right to feel safe and if going to a touristy country like the Bahamas, or a cruise etc feels safer I completely understand.

Or maybe even if there is a one in 300,000 chance you could get in trouble even those odds aren't worth it.. I certainly respect that.

As soon as I crossed the border bridge I went to the migracion office and showed them my non-US passport and they gave me the 90 day stamp with no problem. I then took a bus to Caracas, and at a military checkpoint I was thoroughly searched and questioned by the "guardia civil" which was a scary ordeal. I highly recommend not taking to a bus to Caracas if you enter via land, better to fly.

The first time I tried to enter the same way via land entry they wouldn't stamp my US passport which was all I had at the time. But there is nothing to stop you from entering the country without the stamp. I then took a bus from San Antonio to San Cristobal. We passed a checkpoint but the soldier did not board the bus to check everyone individually. If they would've checked me and saw that I was in the country illegally I probably would've been screwed. On this trip I only went as far as San Cristobal, stayed for a week, then took a bus back to San Antonio then crossed back to Colombia. If you try this don't bother getting the exit stamp from Colombia migracion because you will have a problem when you return to Colombia for the entry stamp and they see that you don't have an entry or exit stamp from Venezuela. I had to bribe the Colombian migracion official to give me the entry stamp. Now I don't know if your passport would be checked for a visa when taking a domestic flight, but I wouldn't be brave enough to try it.

I think the main problem with foreign tourism is the money situation. If a tourist exchanges money at the LEGAL money exchange then Venezuela is prohibitively expensive. The only way to manage is to use the black market exchange rate which is technically illegal. I think the government is using the fixed exchange rate to intentionally impoverish it's own people and force them to be more dependent on the government for access to dollars / foreign commerce. It's a control tactic. You might say well that doesn't make sense since it cuts off foreign investment and tourism revenue. Well the current president is a FORMER BUS DRIVER WHO DIDN'T EVEN GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. Maduro is only following the dictator playbook laid out by the Cuban, Russian, Chinese, and N. Korean dictatorship governments. He is more concerned with holding on to power than he is with serving the best interests of the nation.

According to information from the Exchange Agreement No. 36 published in Official Gazette, No. 40,881, published on April 11,2016: every foreign tourist, who stays for more than 1 night and does not have a Venezuelan work visa, is in the obligation to pay for services to the hotel, with a credit card or foreign debit. The amount will be traded according to the complementary exchange rate Dicom BsF. 11.311 (eleven point three). [URL]https://dolartoday.com[/URL] US $1 = BS. (BSF) 112,800 . The minimum monthly wage at that rate comes to $2.50 .

This law negates the advantage of using black market exchange rates, or cash, for tourists. I see it applies for 'more than 1 night'. Without local contacts, a tourist would need to pre-book a room by card in order to show immigration they have somewhere to stay. Once checked-in, I expect some hotels will accept cash or bank transfers at nearer the realistic black-market rate. Any advice on how to handle this issue for a good hotel like the J W Marriott in Caracas? Going in green, without contacts, is going to expose the newbie tourist to security issues, cash shortages and money exchange at the terrible official rate.

Someone suggested that competition from Venezolanas in Colombia had depressed the commercial rates for sex there, especially in border areas like Cucuta. Is it worth the compromise, given the safer environment?

How did you obtain your RIF?

Good on you that your account is fully functional, unlike mine.

I think it was mentioned earlier in the thread, but RIF = Registro de Informacion Fiscal, or Tax Registry Information. It's the national registry run by the SENIAT, the Venezuelan tax authority. When you are registered they give you a RIF number, which is quite important for identification purposes for us Venezuelans. It is not as universal as a Cedula (which is our main ID document), but it can be used for a lot of commercial purposes, including opening a bank account. It's normally something that a foreigner with a tourist visa wouldn't be able to obtain, but as with many things here in Venezuela, money makes impossible things happen.

And Trevor2522, that law is indeed a thing, five star hotels must charge in dollars to foreigners. While I was in Caracas I did arrange accomodations in a lower tier hotel (the Chacao Cumberland, which is pretty decent and is in a good location) to another forum memeber, perhaps he can elaborate on the matter.

This could be a cheap route in for the newbie without local contacts. Prices are closer to the official DICOM rate than the black market but, once in, the host will likely help out with money exchange in return for an extension. It provides an address to give to the embassy / immigration. Use discretion if bringing back girls -- some hosts could be offended -- possibly ask first. £1 = US $1. 33 . Most apartments seem to be in the better areas of Caracas.

Is it easy to call taxis by cellphone, as in Colombia? For those staying longer-term, are there freight-forwarders shipping from USA to Venezuela at reasonable rates? I can get mail-order goods shipped from Miami to Colombia for about $3. 50 per pound weight, including customs clearance, but they don't ship to Venezuela.

"On the night of 9 January, for example, a hungry mob took just 30 minutes to pick clean a grocery store in the eastern city of Puerto Ordaz.

'We are like a bomb': food riots show Venezuela crisis has gone beyond politics "It makes you want to cry," said Anatael in a telephone interview. "I think we are headed for chaos." Evidence for his prediction can be found in towns and cities across Venezuela that have been hit by an outbreak of looting and mob violence. Angry about empty supermarket shelves and soaring prices, some people are breaking into warehouses, ransacking food trucks and invading outlying farms.

During the first 11 days of January the Venezuelan Observatory for Social Conflict, a Caracas rights group, recorded 107 episodes of looting and several deaths in 19 of Venezuela's 23 states..."

Hi all,

I heard that digital payment apps are making strides in Caracas. Notably apps like Tpago, Vippo are mentioned in internet sources. If this is true, it could solve one of the big headaches in traveling to Venezuela. (which is acquiring cash). I would like to hear from anyone on the ground if this is true. Thank you.

P.S.

I've been keeping tabs on Caracas and Venezuela in general hoping to visit one day.

Despite of this I would like to establish contacts on the ground in the event that my visa comes through. Please DM me if you are on the ground and can provide Cash exchange, taxis, or guide service.

To visit Venezuela just got harder. I was going to Venezuela in a week in a half but just got word from Copa airlines that they have suspended operations to Venezuela for at least 90 days.

Looks like I will eat the cost of the visa.

Hi Jasoonn, thanks for the info. For some reason I thought I read that all USA Airlines stopped going to Caracas. So I just changed my ticket to a different destination.

I just came back from a very long Venezuela trip and I'll try to keep my story short. I went to a hotel rumored to have services. The owner asked me to keep his name out of this forum after I told him about it and I agreed. He had tons of photos of really hot college girls and tried to set me up but his contacts were not picking up. He was able to set me up with a very hot girl (her face was like an 11 and her body was like a 8. 5). She won a beauty pageant at one point but she had a kid and was around 25 with implants. Cost me $50 for the hour but was worth it. I stuck a finger up her ass and she wasn't shocked. I probably could have asked for BBFS and anal but I was too shy. She said she would set me up with another girl the next day who was 20 or so for $50. I took her up on her offer and the girl she provided was more like a 3. The hotel regularly took me to brothels at night but most of those girls were like a 4. The sex at one of the brothels was very good though. I am guessing they are under served there. There was a brothel that had girls that were like 7's or so but they had so many rules and I had to buy them drinks to even get them to sit with me. I didn't even bother to have sex there, I left and went to one of the 4's. The 4's were around $10, the 7's were around $50 I think.

The food there is pretty bad. They make due with what they have but things like pasta sauce is a luxury over there. They only have Pepsi, coca cola and zero calorie sodas. The clothing you buy there falls apart pretty easily too.

I paid the hotel and the first girls in dollars (paypal transfer and some paper money I hid in my luggage). The exchange rates I got from the hotel was I think 20% or so lower than what dolar today had. If I got bolivars in cash it would be about half that. Even with that exchange everything was super cheap. A meal is like $2, the hotel I was staying at was like $20.

I heard things were even cheaper when you hire a local person to pay for things with their debit card. I used crypto currency to do my exchanges and sometimes I even got better rates than dollar today. Everything was very quick and painless but I had to keep that local person around which in itself was one of the most painful things ever. I got a good looking girl with a debit card and I got attached. I spent the rest of my time doing normal vacation stuff. She dumped me when I got back home. I did see some better looking girls in other cities and I know how to get around now. I might make my way back there one of these days and do my trip right.

Mongering in Venezuela is hard and it isn't much cheaper than Colombia. I had 10's in Colombia for around 20 bucks instead of 4's in Venezuela for 10 bucks. Most of the hot girls left Venezuela for Colombia and the surrounding countries but I think if you can find a gem there, it might be a lot cheaper to do normal things as well as keep her around.

If I had to do it all over again, I would be up front with the local person and tell them you want to monger and need help mongering. I would have several different local people and break them up into 3 day segments so you have enough contacts where you won't be trapped with any one person at any one point. I would also give my hotel a longer period of time to get me girls. But with debit card spending limitations and limitations on food and taxi's breaking down and everyone trying to overcharge I think next time I will have to go with a fellow monger who speaks better Spanish.

I imagined the girls would be so cheap and plentiful there, I could just hire a girl for a few day long sessions then switch them out but finding those girls is tricky. I am not sure the hotel I was staying at could get me those kinds of deals. I think they specialized in hour long sessions in the afternoon.

[QUOTE=Duncan216;2174187]The food there is pretty bad. They make due with what they have but things like pasta sauce is a luxury over there. They only have Pepsi, coca cola and zero calorie sodas.

The Steaks are superb, but you can get very good Sushi, Lebanese, excellent Italian food and so on.

99% of the girls prefer to meet at daytime. Because of the safety issues, most of them live way out and the don't have a safe transport at night. And the don't stay the whole night because most of them have kids they need to care for.

Their industry all but destroyed, former fishermen now run guns one way, [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord131][CodeWord131][/url] another. On the sea with the desperate and ruthless.

Venezuela and the island of Trinidad are separated by only 10 miles of water and bound together by the most lawless market on Earth today. Playing out at sea and on the coasts, it is a roiling arbitrage—of food, [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord131][CodeWord131][/url], weapons, drugs, and women—between the desperate and the profit-minded. Government is absent, bandits are everywhere, and participating can cost you your life. But not participating can also mean death, because the official economy of Venezuela is in a state of collapse, and the people are starving.

On the shore I met Gabriel, a 30-year-old Venezuelan fisherman who was loading a rickety wooden boat with infant formula and [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord131][CodeWord131][/url]. Gabriel still fishes: he'the arrived from Venezuela in the morning with a load of shrimp and sold his catch to waiting buyers. But he was about to become more than a fisherman; this would be his first smuggling run, and he admitted to being frightened. "The pirates take the motors and steal the food of people coming in to Venezuela from Trinidad who want to feed their families," he said. "And it is not just civilians we classify as pirates. The Venezuelan Coast Guard and National Guard are also involved in this. We are more afraid of them than the actual pirates. " Over the past two years, dozens of Venezuelan National Guard members have been arrested for collaborating with smugglers. In a single sweep in September 2015, 50 were rounded up on criminal charges.

As we left the coast of Trinidad, a solitary fisherman stood in his anchored boat. He stared at us while pulling in a net that contained a single silvery fish, maybe the size of his palm. He looked at the flopping fish and tossed it back into the sea, as if it were a bother. I was reminded of a conversation a day earlier with a leader of the local fishing cooperative who told me that fishermen are hired to work as the eyes and ears for narcos and thieves. "They have walkie-talkies and call the bandits when we go out," he said. "If the bandits rob and steal from us, then they get a commission, a percentage. " he said he'the been "taken" four times."

If you want to see real live pirates, now's your chance! If you survive the encounter, you might want to stay in Trinidad instead of sailing to Venezuela and the waiting pirates looking to plunder your wallet. . .

I was befriended by a national guard and ex navy soldier and during my time in Caracas we spent most days discussing a lot about the country.

What fisherman have actually stopped doing is fishing. There are very poor profit margins there. They actually take as much gas and petrol and sell it to neighbouring countries where there is large profits to be made! That's why they fear the coastguard and pirates.

Also I hope no one plans to take a boat anywhere while in Venezuela. There are planes now.

They have announced a plan to introduce a sovereign bolivar (BsS) on the 20th of August and get rid of 5 zeros. Both paper currencies will remain for now, BS and BsS. To me it's all BS in plain English, or 'coño monetario'.

[QUOTE=Duncan216;2174187]I just came back from a very long Venezuela trip and I'll try to keep my story short. I went to a hotel rumored to have services. The owner asked me to keep his name out of this forum after I told him about it and I agreed. He had tons of photos of really hot college girls and tried to set me up but his contacts were not picking up. He was able to set me up with a very hot girl (her face was like an 11 and her body was like a 8. 5). She won a beauty pageant at one point but she had a kid and was around 25 with implants. Cost me $50 for the hour but was worth it. I stuck a finger up her ass and she wasn't shocked. I probably could have asked for BBFS and anal but I was too shy. She said she would set me up with another girl the next day who was 20 or so for $50. I took her up on her offer and the girl she provided was more like a 3. The hotel regularly took me to brothels at night but most of those girls were like a 4. The sex at one of the brothels was very good though. I am guessing they are under served there. There was a brothel that had girls that were like 7's or so but they had so many rules and I had to buy them drinks to even get them to sit with me. I didn't even bother to have sex there, I left and went to one of the 4's. The 4's were around $10, the 7's were around $50 I think.

The food there is pretty bad. They make due with what they have but things like pasta sauce is a luxury over there. They only have Pepsi, coca cola and zero calorie sodas. The clothing you buy there falls apart pretty easily too.

I paid the hotel and the first girls in dollars (paypal transfer and some paper money I hid in my luggage). The exchange rates I got from the hotel was I think 20% or so lower than what dolar today had. If I got bolivars in cash it would be about half that. Even with that exchange everything was super cheap. A meal is like $2, the hotel I was staying at was like $20..[/QUOTE]Duncan, the update is appreciated. Can you tell us what cities you travelled to within the country? Is the hotel you mention outside of Caracas?

[QUOTE=ThePrince1127;2215756]Duncan, the update is appreciated. Can you tell us what cities you travelled to within the country? Is the hotel you mention outside of Caracas?[/QUOTE]After rereading my post, I realized how much detail I left out. Sorry.

Travel:

I went to Caracas, Isla Margarita and Puerto la Cruz. Travel is pretty bad there. If you travel by car between cities, expect to get stopped and searched by army guys with rifles. It's far safer to fly but usually planes are delayed for repairs and you end up waiting the whole day there. If you fly from outside the country, you'll need to fly to Caracas then to Isla Margarita. Be sure to bring a pen and a translator for the declaration thing. They have no pens or forms in English. When you get to Isla Margarita you get checked out again. Isla Margarita is the same country but I guess they don't want mainlanders going to the island a lot or something. If you travel between cities on the island or on the mainland you will most likely get stopped and searched. I think I lost 20 bucks at one of the checkpoints but I'm not sure. Expect to loose two days for every city you include in your trip.

Currency:

So when you go to major attractions like a national park, theme park or state sponsored stuff you the locals get charged very little but the visitors get charged way more. It's about 3/4 ths of what you would expect to pay outside of Venezuela. You can't use paper currency there because there just isn't enough large denomination bills. You need to pay twice the black market rate and it's still hard to get. Even going around to shops and asking is hard because they usually don't have enough or try to charge you more than twice the black market rate. Even if you do get paper money, you'll be spending it super fast and it's just not worth it. The best thing to do is to somehow get your hands on a local debit card. The debit card I got loaned had a super small limit so I had to make a friend there and get him to use his card everywhere along with using localbitcoin or localethereum to transfer money to him. I heard they are cracking down on that though so I don't know if it works anymore because I haven't been back there in a while.

Isla Margarita had the hotel there. The hotel was far from porlamar (the major city on isla margarita) which is where the brothals were. The girls at the brothals were barely fuckable but they only cost $10 a pop. The hotel charged me a fee to take me there and parking and stuff like that so I'm guessing in the end it cost more like 15 to 20. The hotel did hook me up with a super stunner for $50 though. If she had natural breasts, I'd consider her a 9 to 9.5. Performance wise, was a different story though. I got a BBBJ but there was no deep throat and no anal and the sex was pretty cold. I think I might have just really needed to fuck at that point though. I didn't have sex or jack off for like the last 2 weeks before the trip and at least half a week into the trip. She hooked me up with her friend the next day who was also $50 but I could barely get a hard on. She had no tits or ass and I think she had buck teeth if I remember right. I almost just gave her the money to leave but I hadn't had sex in a while so I figured fuck it. $50 was a super rip off, even the $10 girls were better.

Puerto la Cruz had better girls there but there were no official places to monger. I looked up the info on this forum and they said to go to the buffalo bar but I went there and didn't see any girls. Not even bad looking girls. Just a large family or two. I could have just gone on the wrong day maybe.

Caracas is expensive as hell. I imagine if I did try to monger there, it would just cost me way more than I'm use to. I just did some tourist stuff there and left.

The hotels in Puerto la Cruz and Caracas wasn't much help. Honestly I think I just did my trip wrong. I just wasn't prepared enough. I read up and tried to plan for this trip off and on for a month but it just wasn't enough. I guess I'm trading planning time for cheaper monger time.

I recently went to Medellin Colombia. The 2nd brothal I went to had 75% of the girls as 8's and 9's. Cost was a little over $20 after tip per pop per girl. I went a little far out and got my first foursome there. A girl kissing me on my left, a girl kissing me on my right and another girl either riding me or me on top. Had a 8, 8. 5 and a 8.75 in the group. All the girls had better boob jobs than the girl in Isla Margarita. Not super soft and squishy like natural ones but pretty soft and squish rather than super hard ones on Isla Margarita. The sex wasn't very passionate though. I guess I'm just really use to non-pro escorts you call over.

I have about a month of vacation saved up. I'm planning a trip to either try and do Venezuela right or do Colombia. My Venezuelan visa is about to run out and it was a pain to get it the first time and I hear people get rejected often so it might be my last chance. I'm on the web trying to get two girls to commit for a couple weeks with me on the cheap with lots of sex agreed to up front or waiting for a monger veteran to go so I can ask if I can tag along or something. The situation in Venezuela was pretty bad. A heard they are starting to kick Venezuelan's out of other south american countries and the welcoming atmosphere in other countries is turning sour. It might be a good time to try it out.

Hopefully if I go to venezuela again, my next report will be good.

My credit card no longer works for a premium sub on here so I won't be able to pm until the forum starts using cryptocurrency. Kinda crazy, crypto for venezuela and crypto for web stuff. Guess crypto is catching on LOL.

In theory a new passport costs only BSS 7200, but in practive the procedure is so obtuse, slow, and full of obstacles, that people are willing to pay anything to get it done.

I confirm again that it is possible to have a bank account with a tourist visa. In my case, I have an account at the Banco of Venezuela, another at Banco Nacional de Credito and another at Banco Activo.

The documents to provide: two letters of guarantee from two Venezuelans, a RIF (local tax certificate), a certificate of income or pay slip, a renting house invoice or a water-electricity bill. A good lawyer can provide all these documents.

On the other hand the Banesco refuses to open an account to the tourists.

The 3 or 4 have returned to their respective city in Venezuelan and will make the return trip as needed.

Basically none of them have any problems with doing this: they will travel by bus from their home city to the border crossing at about Cucuta then for a small fee they make contact with a "guide" and follow a foot path from Venezuelan over the border into Colombia. The chicas I have spoken to have paid a small fee to the coyote of about $5. USD or less to get them across, it is relatively safe and they travel in small groups and takes about 20 minutes. The crossing is located about 6 miles north of the international bridge in Cucuta. Literally thousands each day make this trek.

So yes should you meet a Venie on any dating site such as LAC or the like this is most likely how they would enter Colombia.

The Tall Man.

As far as I know the Simon Bolivar international bridge is 100% open for people to cross, the restrictions were lifted a couple of months ago. The containers from the incident with the humanitarian help back in February are still there, but again, you can walk to Colombia and back just fine. I know this because a relative off mine went to Colombia less than two weeks ago. Crossing can be a pain in the ass, as the authorities in the Venezuela side of the border don't give a damn, and there are thousands and thousands of people going to Colombia every day.

What's the current situation in Venezuela? Would it be a reasonable idea for an American to visit?

I have a lot of girls from Venezuela contacting me on SA, so they must be getting kind of hungry for business. I'm looking to take a trip in a few months and I would like to find a place where I can have some hot & somewhat kinky girls to party with for some extended sessions. I'm a bit budget constrained, so going someplace where my mongering dollar will go farther just makes sense. Any particular place to recommend? Any other countries I should seriously consider? Any other words of wisdom?

As for visiting when things get a bit normal, it would be good to know your estimated budget and how much do you want to stay, to give a better guess. Bear in mind that while Venezuela is still relatively cheap if you have $$ the years of being able to do business with a good looking girl for less than 10 bucks are a thing of the past.

Atac now, they are desperate for gringo-money and after have seen her in Colombia (I would not recommend VNZ) she can agree on marriage 20 yo-God's age.

They will ask for ex / cibersexo, it'boring and does not lead to nothing.

If I where adiceted to ciberex, I easily spend the cost of a aero tiket a months.

My friend gets 400 dollars from gringos for amateur shows which is 87.000 internal bolivars, she is 22 lives alone and can go to clubs etc for even more money. Imports are of course super expensive, but products and ervices made / done in VNZ, 87.000 is a high income for just howing your pussy when you ned some cash. Zelle and Paypal she uses, WU are more restricted but today I got a info on my SMS a new site, easily send money to Colombia.

I will wait. Then I will marry a Quen and bring her to Copenhagen, where she probably will continue her profession, after marriage 2-3 years she has full citizenship for life. But +99% of the Guapa does not understand this; they just want cibersex / Zelle instantly.

I ak them; what about age, I', 44 what will happen to you in the erotic service area area after 33 yo, yes superboobs and a new ass and abdomen can by some time. But commitment seems impossible.

Interesting story on Yahoo about Venezuela making a drastic economic recovery:

Can anyone in Caracas or Venezuela confirm the story's details?

Can anyone in Caracas or Venezuela confirm the story's details?[/QUOTE]I've mentioned this before, but yes, ever since Maduro depenalized the use of the american dollar in 2019, things have gotten a bit better around here. I wouldn't calle it "drastic" as that article does, but there has been some level of recovery in the past two years. The USD has become the defacto currency here in Venezuela, and thanks to its free use you don't have to do business with shady people to exchange your $$$ into Bolivares, just pay using dollars because it is accepted everywhere. In fact, it is quite common that prices for products and services are quotes in USD and not bolivares. The article also mentions something that is quite true, since our government was too inept to reactivate national production, they attacked the problem by lowering taxes and regulations on imported goods. Not exactly the best solution (I'd rather buy stuff made here), but the supermarkets are indeed supplied.

Now, not everything is good news for the potential traveller. A consequence of these policies is that, since the use of the american dollar has been normalized, it has also lost some value. To illustrate the point, back in 2016 I spent a month in Caracas doing business, and I covered absolutely all my expenses (including two visits to a "studio" that was near my hotel) with $150. Nowadays, if I tried to do the same, those $150 would only pay for two weeks on the same hotel, nothing else.

What kind of place and where? Where do you like to go there? Any advice would be great too, thanks.

I've been watching some YouTube videos and they have some awesome beaches on their islands.

The rooms are small andbarebones, and the service is subpar at best and non-existant at worst, but *cheap* it is. I used to stay at another hotel that was a bit better, but nowadays they are charging $20 a night.

As for our beaches, a problem is that there are indeed plenty of nice beaches in Venezuela, but the tourist infrastructure is not great. Margarita has some great ones, Mochima and Choroni are great too, there is Marrocoy which is pretty awesome, but the absolute place for a beach person is LOS Roques.

I'm too old to go barebones so can you tell me what a decent room would be in Margarita or Los Roques? Would $40-50 a night be enough for a decent room? I'm guessing food would be reasonably priced. Would you go there now? You obviously know Venezuela so your advice will be well taken. My purpose would be to enjoy and relax and meet a girl or two but not all out mongering. My Spanish is decent enough, Mayne low intermediate. Thanks again MC.

But now seriously, it's literally been ages since I've been to Margarita, so unfortunately I don't have a lot of direct, current knowledge of how things are there nowdays. Now, about LOS Roques, I visited the island a few years ago while serving as sorta of a guide (but mostly I was there to deal with exchanging dollars to bolivares) to a group of three british tourists, so that I can tell about. First off, LOS Roques is a totally different experience from Margarita, a small archipielago in the Caribbean where 3000-ish people live in town on a tiny island. If you are looking for a comfy, very private beach vacation avoiding the troubles that plage the mainland Venezuela, that's the place. The downside being that, like I mentioned is a small place so night life is very limited and mongering is non-existant. If you want to take a girl there, you will need to contact here beforehand and make the arrangements, but on the other hand I can assure you that if you invite a venezuelan girl to LOS Roques she is going to LOVE you.

There are no proper hotels there (building stuff there has a lots of limitations by law), the lodging consisting of several small posadas. The way they explained me things are organized in the island, the posadas are classified as Standard, Intermediate, Superior, and VIP, each one with a jump in price. If you are interested going there, I recommend buying a full package from a local tourist agency that includes everything, since it can be a ***** to find a fligth to LOS Roques (and I mean it, I witnessed a couple of tourists raising some hell in the airport because they thougt it was going to be as simple as buying some tickets at a counter). One that is usually recommended is "viajando a LOS roques", the website should be easy to find using google. I asked them once, and they quoted a stay of 6 days / 5 nights for 2 people including the flight tickets, the prices ranging from $1400 to $2200-ish depending of the posada (I asked for prices to a few intermediate and superior, not any of the VIP posadas).

Well, not much I can think of to add. If you have any further questions, I'd glady be of help.

I have been interested in Venezuela since 6th grade which was in very early 1960's in grade school and then again in 1970 in college. Both times a fellow student, one a boy and the other a girl, both lived there as kids. Father's were petrol engineers a the they loved it and gave me the interest to see for myself. I have also talked and made acquaintances with a few vendors in Medellin who are Venezuelan and my impression has been very positive.

Is Venezuela open to tourist now with the COVID situation? Would an American be welcomed in the islands since USA is not on friendly terms and lastly is that my Spanish is passable probably low intermediate. Will that be sufficient? I would most likely only visit the islands you have mentioned but am open to suggestions.

Thanks again! P.S: I have an awesome red shirt. Should I bring it and wear it?

*Is Venezuela open to tourists: I actually do not know how's the current situation. Last night I searched "LOS roques" out of curiosity on twitter and they do seem to be receiving to tourists. I'll try to ask around and see if I can get a more solid answer.

*Are Americans welcome: Man, 99% of the population don't give a crap about any hostilities our stupid government may have towards the US. Also, the people in the island are super-chill and friendly since their livehood depends almost entirely on the tourists. On the other hand, I think Americans still need a visa to enter Venezuela, I don't recall that situation changing.

*Low-intermediate spanish: Probably will be enough. Just bear in mind that few people around here speak english. Even people you would assume that *should* be english speakers (like, the person at the counter of a tourist agency), odds are that at best they barely know the language.

*Suggestions: Well, for pure mongering purposes Caracas is the place. For an actual vacation, I must say that I am not really a beach person, so my favorite is is the Venezuelan Andes region. Be it a city like Merida or small towns such as Timotes or La Puerta, I just love going to those mountains. In theory Canaima at the south east of Venezuela (where things like Roraima and Salto de Angel are located) should be a 10/10 spot, but in reality it is not a very tourist-friendly are, much less nowadays that the government took over the mining of the region (in parternship with the Chinese) and a lot of shady things are going on over there. A shame, really.

*Red shirt: Hahahaha. You should get it printed with the "ojitos de chavez" or a picture of El Che!

But seriously, like I said before, I am here to answer any other questions you may have.

Last time I looked, in order for an American citizen to get a visa to visit Venezuela, they need an invitation letter from a citizen of Venezuela. Then they need to meet in person with an official at a Venezuelan Embassy. Many, if not all, Venezuelan Embassies in the USA are closed due to the political situation. I think there might be one open in Texas. Otherwise, he will need to find a Venezuelan Embassy in a third country.

I'll look into it in greater detail. An embassy in Colombia may be the answer. Will post anything I find out.

How would I explain getting a letter from Caracas or anywhere and going directly to the islands and not even meeting or knowing the letter writer in Caracas? I'm sure I would be questioned thoroughly.

I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer. I went to Colombia in 1973 for the first time when I was 22. Saw a few Gringo who took dumb chances and didn't listen to my stay safe advice and they all had run ins with the authorities and I stayed sano why salvo then and still do but I've been lucky too.

[URL]https://www.facebook.com/chimboteprensapopular/videos/791799094757439[/URL]

The authorities have been investigating the video that circulates on social networks, in which two foreigners throw from a bridge and kill a young man who said he was from Huánuco (Peru).

The video was uploaded to the TikTok social network through the Captustus account.

Due to the accent of their voices, the alleged murderers are Venezuelans, who, for no apparent reason, charged him by hand and threw him over the precipice, then celebrated that he had died.

Back some years ago I was almost making a trip but didn't. Now I would but it's impossible. There is also the risk thing as things haven't gotten any better over the last few years.

But still, Venezuela is in my head as a land far and apart where the women are all little miss universe and it's also beautiful geographically. So, I am looking at it as a prospect to pounce on as soon as they manage to overthrow this leftist government and the unholy link to Iran. Not happening anytime soon but so it's in my head.

Now people here said: you don't have to go to Venezuela or deal with women in Venezuela since they are all over in Colombia and Panama. I thought about it and figured that no, that's not quite true. Those who are in Colombia and Panama are mostly battle hardened conquistadoras, those who are still in Venezuela are less of this obvious kind. They have a different mind set.

So I meet them on SA, and there are a few I started conversing with, and one of them just blew right under my skin. There are all types:

1) the dreamy girl who is looking for a husband more or less
2) the online entrepreneur who starts ranting at you within the first few messages on WhatsApp that you're not already making yourself useful
3) the undecided girl, definitely would do stuff for money but still talks about relationship
4) the ones who are pressing for financial assistance fairly soon

Now about that assistance, it's quite an easy shtick to use for them, because things really are tough in VE. And also, $20 go a long way, so it's really not a big deal. Like I would never be an online simp throwing money at cam girls for example, but in this case I find myself considering giving some to take some of the pressure off, and see what will happen next.

But there is still the question what I even want from them if I can`t visit. So there is where bringing her to somewhere outside is an idea. There is a common story I have heard more than one say:

"I have a visa but my passport is expired and it costs money to get a new one"

This is peculiar since they can not tell me what kind of "visa" they are talking about. Visa to which country? And even if that is a line they all learn to use to set up more money being sent, it's still curious why they would talk about visa? I wonder if Venezuela has some sort of exit visa, like other communist states had (and still have), where you couldn`t leave? I'll inform myself about the passport issue and what's involved. If you know, please feel free to share.

I feel a tickle in bringing one or more of these girls somewhere nice to enjoy for a week. Since I am wired to enjoy the emotional connection more than just the fuck and go type of thing. This is playing to my taste. And this is why I decided that picking a Venezolana from there is better than looking for them in the puta scene in Panama and Colombia (not much looking necessary I hear.) The semi-pro gold-digger is different, because they at least try to create the full GFE and I have found there be a pleasant grey zone between real and fake GF, you can`t even tell, aren`t they all? The psychology of this is such that the less you are in the hard P4P business, you really are attractive to them for what you can do for them, so when they give you the experience they actually feel something. It's more enjoyable for both sides which is a win-win.

So there is this one who bombed herself right under my skin the way she looks, to me a 10 and just my type, and despite this unreal way of it coming about, I am enjoying falling for this with open eyes. Like I tell myself all the points that its not real, and yet I go for it anyway, because I know that even when in the end it turns out not real, it still is pleasant as if it was real. And when something feels totally real, and later turns out not having been, why even worry about the reality? That's what I have resolved, and this is why I am pursuing this angle with some pleasure. I'll move to some video "auditions" next, to test the chemistry.

The semi-pro nature is definitely different, for example, that girl who is about to crawl under my skin, into my head and into my heart, she actually seems to hold a real job occupying her from early morning to after 7 pm. Just got a message from her during her lunch break. Yesterday I thought she had just flaked out from me chasing after some other dudes, but no, after all sorts of negative thoughts and probing questions, I am pretty confident now that she really does work all day every day. And so you see, that is an entire different type of girl here. One you would never find in Colombia or Panama.

Then I wonder where I would take them. Riohacha is a place that's not even too far from the CO-VE land border. I wonder what the availability of overland travel is? Also, domestic flights in Colombia and between VE and CO, where is a good site to find out about that? Kayak.com doesn't even carry the Caracas airport right now.

I checked where Venezolanas can travel without a visa, and DR and Panama recently put in restrictions. There is also Brazil, which is more of my turf where I get around better being fluent in the language. Brazil has some restrictions for Venezolanas, but it might be doable. Seems like CO is the closest, although if it involves air travel it matters less. I wonder if there are any direct flights from VE to San Andres islands?

Shit, I wasn't going to immediately go from one emotional attachment to another one, but man this one really got me now, ... as the old rock song goes. But it's so much fun.

Spain is full of the hottest Venezuelan escort refugees. This is the favorite one for many of us, although she is in her 30's now. But there are many like her. The relatively wealthier, more sophisticated Venezuelans managed to get to Europe and many do sex work.

[QUOTE=Mongerer88;2567177]Spain is full of the hottest Venezuelan escort refugees. ... more sophisticated Venezuelans managed to get to Europe and many do sex work.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the pointer. Interesting when next I should be in Europe. But it is really besides my point. Not that you were obliged to agree with me of course.

My point was that the Venezolanas that are in Venezuela are of a different kind. Not talking about the battle hardened pros. In fact, it could be that those are even in short supply now that most have left for better places.

I am talking of those who stayed behind and are rather semi-pro or non-pro. We can find them on SA but I wondered what to do with them? I find myself messaging many saying "oh I wish I could come" but that isn't the answer. They respond, but what where the heck will we go from there?

By the way, now I got the quote from one about what this passport and visa business costs. And I told her in friendly terms that I simply don't believe it. She said: USD 250 for the passport and USD 350 for this mystical "visa" for which I still have no explanation what it is supposed to be.

That to me indicates I am being ripped off. No way VE government fees are that high! Heck in Brazil a passport costs about 400 BRL, maybe 500 with the birth record and other stuff that might have to be issued first. But nowhere near USD 250 . Although, thinking of when the USDBRL forex was quoted at around 2, one might get to that level. And VE is well known for overestimating the value of its currency. Could it be that she was not lying after all?

Yeah, so this ain't working. Insta-love bait with fake medical bills. Like I'm some kind of idiot you can play with falsified medical bills and filtered and censored photos. Come on Baby. Thanks for saving my time by revealing this sooner rather than later.

Thanks for saving my time by revealing this sooner rather than later.[/QUOTE]Stinky, my opinion as a local: Discard those sob stories, no girl is going to be in SA with the intention of paying medical bills, that's just a cheap way to appear innocent and desperate and incite an emotional response. There was a guy that I helped around while he visited Venezuela a few years ago and he had success meeting girls through SA, but they all were very upfront in what they were looking for. There was one girl that pulled the same shit as you describe, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it actually is the same person (and not a girl at all!) that is still scamming unsuspecting victims. Fortunately that guy quickly became aware of what was going on and cut all ties after minimal losses.

As for the $250 passport, if I recall correctly a new venezuelan passport costs $200 and to renovate your old one is $100. No idea what's up with those extra $50, perhaps she is adding up extra expenses like getting taxi cabs and lunch while in waiting (there is a LOT of that) in the line at the SAIME. But why not mention it? About the visa, yeah, we do need a travel visa to visit any of our neighbors, it's been like that for a while. And there are other requisites as well like proving where are you going, where are you staying, and that you have enough $$$ to pay for your travel. It is honestly not easy for us to leave, nobody wants to deal with us Venezuelans now that our country is in ruins.

Analyzing the situation there is nothing whatsoever to even believe that this isn't some guy pulling off that stunt, and that he has some girlfriend who will from time to time help out if something needs to be shown.

It's textbook playbook.

And the only way to make this end is to walk away. Because the dude knows that as long as the fish is taking the bait, there is a chance to still get that hook in. You can argue until the cows come home. There will always be some excuse but never the simplest thing to just send some friggen unedited foto of the present situation.

It's a shell game. The situation around the dispute is what reels you in. The fact that you're not walking away.

I think Venezolanas on these sites are hopeless. It's just bullshit.

Hoping someone on the board can help with a finance query.

I appreciate that Venezuela has become dollarised and everyone accepts $ in cash but I am trying to understand how I can pay for things using a mobil payment app? I am based in the UK and hence do not have a US dollar bank account, does anyone know what digital app I could use that is widely accepted in Venezuela? I have heard Zelle is very popular but this is connected to having a US bank account. I appreciate the likes of paypal but the fees they charge put Venezuelans off. I only plan on using it if an escort insists I have to prepay the taxi fare before she comes out to see me. I appreciate there is a chance I could be scammed of the taxi fare but this is a risk I am prepared to accept.

Thanks all!

I was thinking of going to Venezuela. A lot of hot latinas in the US / Latin American are Venezuelan, so I thought, why not go to the source? I heard it's a little dangerous, but it seems like a lot of Latin AMerican countries have that sort of rap, and sometimes, as long as you use common sense, you're fine. I would like a second opinion though. Is it worth it to go mongering in Venezuela? Was thinking of going for 2 weeks.

Recently heard of a Russian + Dominican who got kidnapped there, then held for four months until the ransom was paid.

Don't travel by road from Colombia, take a flight.

They are in another country for the sole reason to make money not to have regular jobs.

But going to their country you will find most shun prostitution. Those who do are much lower class with questionable hygiene and drug addiction. So do not equate how they behave in bars in other countries to be the same in bars in their countries. Besides there are not too many countries which are safe for foreigners.

Just enjoy them in safe countries.

Thanks all![/QUOTE]Zelle appears to be popular. But I've seen some YouTubers actually pay with American CCs in store. Check out the user Volpe where are you on YouTube. Money transfer apps appear widely accepted in his vids.

There are a bunch of vennies in Mexico City, I went down a rabbit hole and was able to collect some twitters. Almost the same model in Venezuela as in Mexico so I was able to get a good amount of chicas that I would say are legit. I haven't been but for 50 bucks a hour I would go just to see the mulatas, anyways DM if you need the link, if you follow me already then look through the lists.
