Caracas

[QUOTE=Penetrador;2325470]Carcel y Monzon?[/QUOTE]That's in the center of Caracas. While you may find some street action there I would not call it a "red light district". Also, it is not what I would recommend to a tourist.

Check the map. These places may or may not be there.

They are having a revolution if you haven't been reading the news.

[QUOTE=Penetrador;2325928]Why not if there is street action?[/QUOTE]I googled "Osaka tobita shinchi" and you won't find anything like that. I am talking about just a few cheap, seedy bars where you may find girls. Plus, the area isn't exactly the best place to be at night in Caracas.

[/QUOTE]Hmmm, I wish that was true. It's been 4 months since Guaido started his "I am the REAL president of Venezuela" push and absolutely nothing has happened. So far this seems to be the same all talk, no actions crap the venezuelan opposition has been pulling for over a decade, just with a bit more overt support by the US government.

Hi,

I consider myself to be a smart traveller. How safe is it to be in Venezuela nowadays? There are too many conflicting reports online.

The minumum *montly* income in Venzuela is a ridiculous $2. 6 at the moment, so you must understand that a lot of people will try, if not outright rob you, at least scam you off a couple of bucks. With that said, with some common sense and taking precautions, Venezuela is manageable for a traveller. It helps if you at least have a passing knowledge of Spanish (very few people speak english here), and if you have a local willing to show you around and explain how things work.

Contrary to what the news is reporting you will not be kidnapped, drugged, or immediately shot when exiting the plane in Venezuela. Common sense is what it takes. Really anywhere in the world you go. Probably even in your home town. In Caracas there are nice areas and not so nice areas. In your home town would you walk around the not so nice areas in the middle of the night,. Probably not. Same thing applies in Caracas. People ask this question all the time about, Venezuela, El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti etc. I have been to all of these places many many times and never had an issue. In fact to the contrary. Some of the nicest and most helpful people I have ever met was in Venezuela and other countries you would never think.

When visiting anywhere I just used basic common sense and don't look for trouble.

Now I have to add that even the "nice" areas, especially in a city like Caracas, are never entirely safe. A few years ago I got my cell phone robbed at gunpoint while waiting for public transport in one of the main avenues of my city, in commercial area with people walking around, in plain daylight. Of course, in that occassion I was caught like an idiot talking with my phone in the open (I didn't even notice the guy with the gun at first), which is a big no-no. So yeah, common sense. I always say this, dress as plain as possible, ideally a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers; no gold chains or watches, and bring the cheapest possible low-mid tier phone with you (which make no mistake, will still be envy of many). All the bling you need get a girl in this place is the knowledge that you are a foreigner with cash.

What would be the best way to get girls without really leaving your room?

[QUOTE=MaraCucho;2299391]Yes, hotels that were good 1 or 2 years ago are still good. They are really not the ones that are suffering from our current crisis.

Yes, if you have money you can eat well.

Yes. Any moderately decent hotel will have at least a couple of taxi drivers that work with them, and it would be very wise to become friends with those guys. Just don't take any taxi cab you may find in the streets..[/QUOTE]Great Write up mate and brave of you to stay in such an amazing country. I have a short work trip to US next month in Miami and was thinking of visiting for 5 days as I am in love in Venezuelan women, they are so sweet and cute and such amazing fuck.

I think most hotels will require you to pay in BS but I am sure you can find some that accept dollars, with regards to the girls / agencies they have all started to quote in dollars as well as BS so again you should have no problems. Having said that it would help immensely if you found a local that can set you up with a bank card and SIM, most bellboys will sort you out as they are all looking to make money on the side but if you are stuck I do have a reliable contact that I have kept in touch with.
