Venezuela, the South American destination with a Caribbean feel, is good value, has great variety, and is easy to get around with a good network of internal flights. Along the Caribbean coast are beaches and national parks protecting reefs and islands. Inland, the visitor can walk or relax in the mountains to the west, go birdwatching in the vast central plains (Llanos) and explore the Gran Sabana region of tabletop mountains and the Angel Falls in the south. This handbook includes information on: the highlights of Venezuela and how to plan a trip; "adventure tourism"; where to stay from hotels, to estancias and camping in the jungle; restaurants and nightlife; the best beaches and dive sites; useful Spanish words and phrases.
