In order to make this as likely as possible, it is better to be made mymself known with certain, quite simple things previously, to heed certain rules and to meet some preparations. One doesn't need to exaggerate this and one also should not plan his/its vacation completely in advance, this becomes think all different one than one, but a few information in advance is necessary.

I went down well with the most important topics on our sides of the travel tips here, about which itself each traveler, sooner or later thoughts must do. Also these sides always are current so that a reading is worthwhile in every case.

to get to Venezuela:

In Venezuela, 2 airports are served from International air routes from Europe: Caracas (Maiquetia) and Porlamar on the island Margarita. In Caracas lands almost all European air routes (Lufthansa) KLM, BA, air franc, Iberia, TAP (Al Italia) often in off-season with super-favorable offers, from 400 Euro. to Porlamar flies Charter, from Germany LTU and Condor, from Holland Martin - air.

On this occasion, it is about direct flights, and if your to us wants to come, then has your the advantage that still your on the same day to us can further-fly. If your over Caracas comes, then, it continues only on the next day.

to the Posada Nena:

The Posada Nena lies 8 km. west the city Carúpano at Venezuela's Caribbean East coast. From Caracas and the "Isla Margarita", there are 8 scheduled flights to Carúpano, however only until the early afternoon, daily. Otherwise, there is the possibility with the overland bus to arrive from all parts of the country. Also, there is the possibility, at an arrival from Caracas, to fly a part and to then put back the rest with the bus. From the bus station or airport you are picked up your from us.

Whoever enters over Margarita to Venezuela can still take the continuation on the same day after Carupano - in Caracas too late lands the international airplanes in order to still realize a continuation on the same day. Here, there then is the possibility to still further-fly in the same evening after Cumana and to then travel with the bus further, or a night, to sleep.

Whoever wants to sleep in, or close to Caracas can fly next morning with LAI or AVIOR to Carupano.

On our link side, there is the possibility to book the flight with Avior.

money:

The home currency is the Bolivar (Bs.). the exchange rate in april 2002 amounts to: 1 U.S. dollars = Bs. 866. The life and trips in Venezuela is not quite cheap, as grounds a few bearings values: , Stand middle of November 2001, the prices shift very fast here,:

1 eggs: Bs. 90, 1 kg. Tomatoes: Bs. 900, 1 l milk,: Bs. 900, 1 l edible oils Bs. 1500, 1 kg of white bread Bs. 1600, 1,5 l mineral waters,: Bs. 900,

1 l super gas: Bs. 80, hammock,: Bs. 15000 - 20000, sack cement,: Bs. 5600, bus trip approximately 500 km of Caracas - Carupano,: Bs. 15000, in the airplane approximately Bs. 60000, a beer (.22l) Bs. 500, TVset. 140000, small rental car for one day, incl. Insurances and kilometer-freely Bs. 60000

That is only a few grounds of course. Then, if something particular interests you, writes me. As travel cash register, a credit card (masters or visas) is primarily to be recommended with unlisted number, ec - cards also works very well and advantageously, very commendable, some cash for U.S. dollar also is not wrong, Travellerschecks can possibly get rid of one only with big efforts. If one wants to rent a car (approximately U.S. dollar 80/Tag), a credit card and a driver's license, on the same name, Vorraussetzung, are so.

In order to know the exact day exchange rate, have a look at Yahoo - monetary calculators.

Visa:

At arrival with the airplane and a stay until 3 months, the entry is visa-free. In the airplane as well as ship, one gets a "Touristcar", that is regarded for the stay as visa. As well as possible, one should store this card (green copy) in order to avoid difficulties with the departure. The passport still should have at least 6 months of validity.

No compulsory vaccinations are stipulated and one should not exaggerate it with vaccinations.

Only whoever travels into real risk areas within Venezuela should take a malaria prophylaxis, because these medications often have very strong side-effects and offer none 100 percent of protection. There is already too many malaria causes, that developed Resistenzien, for it unfortunately. However there are already zones in the country where one should protect - must appraise everyone the relationship for itself from benefits to the side-effect, and then decides, whether and which prophylaxis for him/it right is.

With the continuation by land to Brazil is a yellow fever - vaccination duty. One gets them/her/it however gratuitously, incl. international Impfpass, at the border.

At entry by land, a visa, that one should get oneself in Europe with the Venezuelan agency previously, is necessary. , sees links,

Transport:

The public transportation system in Venezuela is developed enviably well. There is an airport in any moderate-sized village, usually with numerous line connections at relatively affordable prices.

There are many different possibilities of the overland connections to the further one of course: Coaches in all differently classes, collective taxis and minibuses, so-called "por Puestos", one pays per bursts. one must meet the selection according to demand and situation. For long overland routes, the luxury buses are advisable, however one must get dressed warmly since the air-conditionings run on topmost tours and one cannot often open the curtains of the bus in order to enjoy at least something of the landscape. The older models and cheaper variations then have other disadvantages again, is breakdowns on the agenda so and it can then become unpleasantly hot at ascents.

Travelling:

Venezuela is an immensely diversified and interesting travel country with many Highlights. Everyone should consider individually itself in which form he/it wants to shape his/its vacation. If one in two weeks in Venezuela, everything interesting wants to see, then, however, one meets only very little since one cannot experience so intensively in rush.

There are people, that go on the vacation, also again and again in order to simply only recover also for it, Venezuela is very well suitable, one can give a talking to oneself just simply only not too much

One must expect here postponements again and again when traveling and doesn't should his/its program to tightly durchplanen. Of course it is good to be concerned what one expects from the vacation, whether adventures, or maybe also a little recuperation. We have very good addresses from many interesting areas in Venezuela and in our surroundings here - as well as from touristischen Highlights, also as small and unknown secret tips.

Normally, it is meaningful to travel in a direction and not constantly - and. It admits the possibility first at the beaches eastward the acclimatizes, orients and meets to travel and to then open up from there the country. Of course, one can also first westward and into the Andes travels and from there then, over Ciudad Bolivar and the grains Sabana at our beaches, in order to still fill up sun and recuperation the last days, comes.

Security:

Venezuela certainly hears be to the simplest and most harmless travel countries of the world - on the other side - despite crime rising in the last years, traveling in Venezuela usually unproblematically and certainly. However, one must pause as more wayfaring certain caution period, that however, normally already the healthy common sense requires.

Those tourists, who arrived newly in the country, are into the city for itself a classic example at the airport of Maiquetia (Caracas) a pirate taxi takes, is somewhat more favorable than the regular ones, line taxis secure, and then equally bad experiences do. That can be one much too up fare, contrary to every prior agreement, in the end or in the bad case can lead it to a bewaffnten raid, that the guest loses his/its entire money and property and is glad, to still be alive.

In order to avoid such experiences, one either should drive with an official taxi, there is an extra counter, at which one can buy the tickets, - according to goal in Caracas Bs. 20000 - 30000, or if the purse doesn't allow it, then, there is a bus into the city, to the first Metrostation, that is again very favorable. , at this time Bs. 2000,

Also, one should his/its appearance in the country one little considers. Of course, one doesn't should, with camera and purses umhangen, through any dark streets sneaks. One not always needs to show that one has more money than his/its hosts - a sure, not fearful appearance is very important on the other hand. A dog senses if somebody is afraid - it goes also the simple Strassenratten similarly. Of course nothing important is in the case of a real raid than to rescue his/its life and one should not let oneself pulled to fooleries. It always is well some change, but also not too few, handy, to have.

Therefore: Assertive appearance, some caution, doesn't have one loaded oneself into his/its house from each wild-foreign human being either, even if one does wrongly 98 percent of the Venezuelans with it, to certain times avoids certain zones, caution and politeness against police and other security forces, no drugs or black money transactions and always the own, healthy common sense uses.
