[QUOTE=Hotman 666]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.

In June I was in Maracaibo for a week. For me it was business. But my advice is, Unless you have to go, don’t!

I have travelled widely in S. America, Asia and Far East and can think of very few places that I would not enjoy returning to BUT, Maracaibo is certainly one of the cities I would put in this category.

YES, the girls can be beautiful (If you like plastic / Silicon and attitude! ) but most of the "lookers" seem to have the impression that they are "Gods gift" and price themselves accordingly!

I was told that the currently most popular birthday present for a 16 year old is a "Boob job! "

I visited most of the central area clubs that have been mentioned in the forum. My opinion = Tame shows, disinterested girls and quite expensive by S. American standards.

I have not been to many countries where my evening meal, in quite an upmarket area, was interrupted (at around 11.00 pm) by 4 gunshots less than 100mtrs from where I was eating! On the plus side the resulting chaos with tables and chairs flying and people running in all directions was a reasonable cabaret for the evening!

How many countries have YOU been to where people are openly smoking crack cocaine in one of the major downtown squares in the middle of the day?

In May there were 72 murders reported in Maracaibo area!

Walking on a Sunday morning in what is supposed to be a tourist area many people told me that the district was "muy peligroso" (very dangerous! )

Yes I has some success with Chicas during my visit. My best successes were with part timers / amateurs in the small bars and restaurants but that is always a bit "hit or miss. "

(By the way Hotel Kristoff is NOT Chica friendly.)

There are MUCH better countries to visit is S. America if Mongering is the object of your visit.

My considered comments are,

UNLESS YOU HAVE TO GO TO MARACAIBO, DON’T!

I can relate to this post.. from 3 years ago when I was in Maracaibo twice. I too felt like it had just a hidden danger when compared to Colombia. People always telling me "what are you doing in this area, it is much too dangerous for you." Venezuela is wierd. You would think that prices would be low for chicas given the socialist path Venezuela is taking. Venezuela has some hot chicas but when it's so much easier to meet chicas in Colombia plus a lot less danger in Colombia(from common thieves... at least that is the way it feels).. why even consider Venezuela?

As for the boob job as the #1 birthday present at the age of 16... it's the same as Colombia... boob jobs, nose jobs, ass jobs... Colombianas love the plastica. Colombianas love to 1) look good and 2) please their man. So I have no complaints on them trying to look good, other than the fact I really don't like grande senos. My sense it's a cultural thing that both Venezuelans and Colombianas share... heck a large portion of S. America may be the same. I can't confirm that though.

As for the smoking crack in the middle of the street. I too felt there were an awful lot of people in Maracaibo that were jobless and just hanging around, moping around the streets doing absolutly nothing every day of the week. On weekends, I ust didn't see families out and about enjoying the day outdoors. It streets looked really depressing. Put all this togehter and crime has to run rampant... people have to eat.

And this was 3 years ago. I probably don't anticipate going back to Venezuela anytime soon... unless of course my maestro Ricker invites me along and acts as my guide, then I'd be tempted.

Ha ha ha ... Thanks Winner, you crack me up amigo.

Anyway, I used to practically live in Maracaibo.

I have the same opinion as you guys as far as the city goes. It makes Barranquilla seem like a tropical paradise.

However, if you stay away from the upper crust egomaniac chicas, there are some wonderful and sweet chicas there.

Two of my favorite chicas ever are Maracuchas ... beautiful and sweet.

I still talk with one of them frequently and have been promising her a visit, hopefully I'll make it out there soon ... She has some sweet amigas too, so I'll let you know Winner :)

I would consider myself one lucky tag along.

Fellow Punters,

Timing is everything. Went to MCB on a business trip with a co-worker. He's the type of lad who prays over lunch at McDonalds. Had a company driver and since it was around election time, there was little on the Market.

However,

The Crowne Plaza Murumba in Maracaibo is chica friendly, I asked the bell man and he described the procedure. You advise the desk that you are having a visitor and they will record her bio data. No extra fees apply. That said, the Murumba is so far away from the center of town that the one escort I called didn't want to come.

Recommend Hotel del Lago.

another working trip to Maracaibo, this time tied to the leash of my boss and his spouse so no time for fun and games. However, this time we stayed at the Kristoff (under going renovation) and I learned that it is under new managment and will allow chicas. you just have to register them at the front desk and do the walk of shame. There is no extra charge and she gets in on the free breakfast plan.

Any updates for Maracaibo. Been a year since I was there. Any new clubs. Thanks

I was in Maracaibo in March'15 for a purely work related trip.

Stayed at: Intercontinental.

P4P: look for women on internet.

The going price about 4000 bolivars /1 hour.

On 15th March, 2015,1 USD= 250 bolivars in black market. So that means less than 20 USD.

The hotel allows guests for a extra payment of 600 bolivars. Which is 3 USD.

The trick. To carry USD in cash and change with other locals at black market price. Then invite chicas from internet.

Warnings. Do not use your credit card in hotel or any where. Only and only use cash in bolivars // do not venture out in unknown taxis.

Hope this helps.

Couple of mongers wrote to me about Maracaibo and how to exchange money.

Feel free to write to me via PM, anyone who wants to change USD to bolivars in Maracaibo.

I have local contacts who want to get rid of their bolivars and seek USD.

Gentlemen,

I was in Maracaibo recently albeit only for 2 days.

Hotel. I stayed at Hotel Crown Plaza. I had a extremely comfortable stay. Top Notch hotel. Extremely beautiful girls working on the front desk. The hotel is really huge. One tends to get lost in the hotel. I booked it online on a international website and got a rate of 90 usd / night. Mind you. My client (on whose behalf I was in Maracaibo) paid for it. So it was not a major issue. If you book directly with the hotel using local currency, I reckon its extremely cheap (unlike what I noticed with Eurobuilding in Caracas that BS price matched the international USD price).

Changing Money. The highlight of the trip to Maracaibo was that one of the drivers who was supporting me in Maracaibo on behalf of my client took me to a "underground" exchange house and I got a exchange rate of 950! A rate of 950 is almost impossible to get in Caracas! I was really delighted to get that rate.

Chicas- I contacted forum member Mara-Cucho and he gave me some leads. One of the girls whom he mentioned looked nice and asked me only for 10 k BS for 1 hour but I did not partake as I literally had no time to have sex. I was very very busy with work.

Safety. Maracaibo definitely feels safer than Caracas but looked pretty empty and deserted. In fact, I did not see anybody in my hotel (for 2 days) in Maracaibo except the hotel staff!

To the novice monger. You could easily go to Maracaibo (Immigration is friendly here). Take a cheap room in cash in Crown plaza hotel and have a lot of fun and even exchange at a better rate.

Hope my review was helpful to some of you.

Hope my review was helpful to some of you.[/QUOTE]I agree, I find Maracaibo to have a much safer feel than Caracas. Although the city is very spread out and club options (strip clubs) are much fewer than in years past. There is an awesome hotel called the Aladdin with themed rooms. Can rent by the hour, twelve hours or by the day. Very first class rooms and a nice compound. The exchange rate is excellent. I exchange my money at a sports book. I can exchange as much as I want and when I leave to go home the owner / manager will even change my left over bolivares back to US dollars at a great rate. The women are gorgeous. I have been to Maracaibo many times. Although most of my trips have been a lot of fun I have had a couple where I was a bit bored because of the lack of P4 P in the casas and clubs. So I guess it can be a bit of hit or miss.

Thanks.

I am looking for a local Exchange Money Shop or People in Maravaibo.

I plan my next Holiday there and I hope anybody can help me for found a good exchange place.

I come from Germany and I can take Euro or USD for change.

Thanks for help.
