1. Giota's Tip on Merida
Merida, Andean, Venezuela
En Merida se encuentra el teleferico el mas alto del mundo! En la ultima etapa no ves casi nada, a veces las nubes pero como la altura es muy grande no te sientes muy bien. Cuidado no hay que correr, todo muy despacio... Si algo occure te ponen oxygeno y hay que bajar.
2. Wolfgang's Tip on Isla Larga
Isla Larga, Central Region, Venezuela
Great small Island to visit quite near to Valencia. Would recommend it as a typical one day trip. Good access. No infrastructure on Island. 2 sunken ships to be found from WWII era. Great for snorkeling and wreck diving. Nice white sand, ideal for families as well.
3. Elena's Tip on Islas Los Roques
Islas Los Roques, Insular Region, Venezuela
Rent a Yacht with a small "dingie" boat. That way you can go to the shallow parts and reefs. Fly to Gran Roque and have the Yacht wait for you there. Bring your cook and Food. Bring all your family members, and leave your phone at home. The best vacation on the planet. Expensive but worth every cent.
4. Elena's Tip on Morrocoy
Morrocoy, Central Region-Western, Venezuela
Morrocoy is a place like no other. You need to fly in a small plain to Tucacas (the airport is just 1 small runway) or drive from Caracas or Valencia airports. Rent a small water taxi ("penero") to bring you to "El Sombrero" and "Boca Seca". Very unique places. Some of the most beautiful beaches ever. Sleep in the local hotel in tucacas.
5. Nicolás's Tip on Apartaderos
Apartaderos, Andean, Venezuela
Charcutería El Aguila. Excelentes embutidos.
6. Payet's Tip on Caracas
Caracas, Capital, Venezuela
Saracao, that is the salsa night-club
7. Ana's Tip on El Dorado
El Dorado, Guayana Region, Venezuela
This city is famous for it's terrible prison and, most importantly for being the center of the 24k gold business. To get some of the most beautiful gold jewelry in the world at the market price of the gram of gold, you have to go to El Dorado. Plus it's really funny to walk around the main square and see a jewelry for every 2 shops!
8. Arnaud's Tip on Porlamar
Porlamar, Insular Region, Venezuela
Le plus important est de choisir des hôtels de bonne catégorie qui offriront un large panel de services et d'activité ainsi que des prestation de très bonnes qualités.
9. Orianna's Tip on Caracas
Caracas, Capital, Venezuela
ir a visitar la plaza bolivar y la catedral, pasar a ver la quinta anauco y subir hacia el avila para correr por las curvas de la cota mil. Panorama entero de la ciudad y sus barrios, desde el Avila.
10. Orianna's Tip on Barcelona
Barcelona, North-Eastern Region, Venezuela
Pasear por el malecon del paseo Colon. Recorrer todo ese paseo en bicicleta hasta llegar al Morro que queda en Puerto la Cruz. Desde la calle del hambre se pueden comer un perrito, antes de montarse en los Ferrys hacia Porlamar, Margarita.
