Tourists generally don't go to Venezuela because the country is extremely unsafe. The capital, Caracas, is ranked as the second city with the highest murder rate in the world [1]. There is an extremely low regard for life - petty criminals will kill you for your phone.
However, we do have some of the most unreal places on the planet! [2]

- mattm 12y agoIt's a shame. I visited Caracas and Isla de Margarita for about a week 10 years ago. It's a very beautiful place and the people I met were very friendly. I hope the situation improves. Would love to visit again!
