Venezuela Travel Forum

How easy/hard is it to get hold of a visa from the UK, for overland entry?
Also where are the relatively safe areas and where should be avoided?

As the above post says Choroni/Puerto Colombia is nice. Besides the beaches you can do a hike in the Henri Pettier NP from there. Other places in Venezuela which I have visited and can recommend is Roraima (six-day trek), Canaima/Angel Falls, Los Roques and Merida (from Merida you can do tours to Los Nevados and Los Llanos).
Crime rate is high in the big cities, so you might want to avoid Caracas.
