Venezuela is a country that’s getting richer and richer due to oil money, and luckily that’s helped boost its road networks and architecture making traveling easier on tourists. This country isn’t only about business; plenty of traditional people still live in the countryside, including plenty of Indian tribes. The country is also a beautiful one with the beautiful Andes Mountains and the wilderness of the Amazon.
The capital city of Caracas has been around since 1567, but the city is just now becoming massively modernized due to oil revenue. Much of the colonial architecture, save a few buildings, was eradicated in the process. Old Caracas won’t disappoint visitors because they can get a glimpse of colonial Caracas amidst the modern city. If you’re looking for cultural events, Caracas has plenty of museums, galleries, theatres, cinemas and music venues.
Venezuela is also home to the world’s largest waterfalls, Angel Falls. These falls weren’t discovered until 1935 by American pilot James C. Angel, and can only be reached by a plane or 4-wheel-drive vehicle.
Isla de Margarita, Venezuela’s largest island, is also worth visiting. Beautiful beaches skirt the island’s coast and people can sunbath on white sand. The island is also a duty-free zone, so plenty of people go there to shop.
