Safety:Unsafe

Venezuela, at present, might be a challenging destination for a solo female traveler due to the prevalent economic crisis and political instability. It’s experiencing high crime rates, including robbery, kidnapping, and assault, which can pose threats even during daylight. Travel warnings and advisories are often issued by many countries for Venezuela. It's advisable to have a local contact, prefer group travels and stay vigilant at all times.

Transport:Difficult

Venezuela can present several challenges for solo female travelers. The country is faced with political unrest, increasing crime rates, and economic instability. As such, navigation may require local knowledge, language skills and careful planning. Safety concerns might also limit mobility. Adequate caution and discretion must be exercised at all times.

Things to do:Interesting

Venezuela is diverse and rich in natural beauty. It features breathtaking sights such as the Angel Falls which is the world's highest waterfall, the Andes Mountains, and the Caribbean coast. The city of Caracas also offers a variety of restaurants, museums, and art galleries. Moreover, Los Roques Archipelago, a national park with stunning beaches, is a great spot for snorkeling and diving. While it offers lots to see and do, keep in mind that Venezuela currently has some safety concerns, so be sure to stay informed and cautious.

Food:Above average

Venezuela offers an array of delicious and unique dishes. From arepas, a type of bread popular in both daily life and festive occasions, to pabellón criollo, the national dish consisting of rice, black beans and shredded beef, food in Venezuela is deeply rooted in its multicultural history. Seafood is also popular due to the country's extensive Caribbean coastline. Fresh fruits and vegetables are commonplace, often appearing in both savoury and sweet dishes. However, availability can be inconsistent due to the country’s current economic situation. Variety in trendy or international cuisine might be limited compared to other places.

Budget:Expensive

Although Venezuela has a low cost of living due to economic difficulties, traveler safety is a concern. As a solo female traveler, unpredictable political unrest and high crime rates can add unexpected expenses, such as higher costs for secure accommodation and transit. Additionally, access to everyday essentials can vary by locality.
