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.

Many more. Just imput (chica escortes en Caracas. Google). You will have a plethora of options.
None of the chicas speak any English and none are avbl on whatsapp or text messages. You need to call and negotiate. Many chicks do not do BBBJ or DFK. You need to negotiate / anal is easy to negotiate.
E) Hotel Eurobuilding.
This hotel has its own chicas on premises avbl at 20000 BS / hour.
Almost all 5 star hotels in Caracas have chicas on premises.
But since I stayed at this hotel. I can only talk about this.
I also have a contact in hotel Eurobuilding who changes money and has his catalog of chicas to chose from.
F) A madam / agent of chicas.
You can message me for this.
I never used her. A chica told me about her that she has a plethora of options.
She does not have whatsapp either. So you will have to talk in Spanish.
A highly educated person in Caracas earns 10,000 BS a month. So when a chica receives 10000 BS for 1 hour, its a lot of money in Caracas.
How to take Taxis in Caracas
Most hotels have their fleet of taxis where the guys are vetted.
I used taxis at hotel Eurobuilding per hour at almost 1.5 usd / hour at my disposal.
The cars (4 x 4) are bullet proof, tinted glasses.
After I go over the initial scare, I started using Easy Taxi app on my cellphone. At almost 75 cents a journey.
For hailing a taxi at the airport, you have a official taxi queue and these guys are safe. The cost os 4000 BS / hour.
For airport pick up, the hotel can also organize a pick up at 4000 BS / hour but you must give them money before hand via credit card. I recommend come what may, never give credit card details to a hotel in Venezuela. You may get ruined for life. A bill of 50 usd may appear as 50,000 usd on yr credit card statement! (yes, I am not exaggerating).
I also have names of many taxi drivers in my phone book whom I used when I was there. They all want business.
I also hailed a taxi at the airport of Barcelona (Venezuela) and drove to Caracas for 4 hours in the night (arriving in my Hotel Inn Caracas at 0300). I arrived in one peace. So its not so bad.
How to pay for hotel in Venezuela
Well, for first two days, you have no choice.
Just pay the online rate from a website.
Then once you arrived here and settled here. You can indeed change money and pay the hotel in local cash.
Yes, receiving huge bundles of cash is normal here for the hotel. Eg one time, I had to pay for 4 days and carried 110,000 BS with me to the counter and paid it. The maximum bill being 100. And the 100 bills are in extreme shortage!
The other way to do it is to find friends of friends who can pay for you in local money before your arrival (that's what I did) - and you just reimburse them when you arrive.
The cost of hotel Eurobuilding in local money is 27000 BS per night for 2 people incl breakfast including taxes, when paid in cash.
The same hotel may cost 70 to 200 usd / night on a internet website, without breakfast.
Guest Policy. I had different experiences here. Some times, I just walked in with a guest and no one noticed. But most of the times, I was stopped and asked to register. When you go to register, they try to charge you extra (the hotel is desperate to make money out of you) . But normally, the first guest of the day is free but 2nd or 3rd guest of the day is charged 2000 BS per person. The guest must have the local cedula.
