Venezuela Trip: Exploring the least Visited Country in South America!

If you want to experience Venezuela’s natural beauty and quirky city vibes, this guide covers it all! From cable car rides in Mérida 🎢 to umbrella-lined boulevards and Caribbean beaches, here are my top picks and tips for a wild, memorable trip. Top Spots to Visit El Vigia Plaza Bolívar (J992+HCQ, Av. 15, El Vigía 5145, Mérida): This square is the heart of El Vigia—perfect for people-watching or grabbing street snacks. Roman Catholic Diocese of El Vigía–San Carlos del Zulia: A stunning example of modern Venezuelan religious architecture—snap a pic outside! Mérida Sistema de Transporte Turístico Teleférico de Mérida Mukumbarí (Final C. 24 Rangel, Mérida 5101): Unmissable! Ride the world’s highest cable car. Get tickets early and go for the morning views. Plaza El Espejo (20-52 Av. 8 Paredes, Mérida 5101): Charming plaza with fountains—great for a chill break. Boulevard de los Paraguas (local N, final calle 24, 8 C. 24 Rangel): Insta-heaven! This boulevard is lined with colorful umbrellas overhead. Las Heroínas Square: A vibrant spot packed with cafés and local energy. Pasapalos El Caldero: When in Mérida, grab local snacks here. Silva Morrocoy National Park (Parque Nacional Morrocoy, Tucacas 4101, Falcón): Open 24/7! Stunning beaches and cays. Pack sunscreen and cash, and arrive super early on weekends. Getting Around & Tips Public transport is basic—long-distance buses connect main cities, but consider private taxis for comfort and safety, especially at night. In cities, moto-taxis are quick, but negotiate the fare upfront. Mérida is walkable at its core! Money tip: Bring cash in small bills. Card acceptance is unreliable. Food tip: Eat local! Try arepas from street vendors (super cheap, super filling). Weather: Mountain cities get chilly at night, so pack a light jacket. #venezuelaadventure #meridamagic #traveltips #morrocoydream
