Travel to Venezuela

3 weeks ago I returned from a holiday spent in a friendly country, Russia, situated on the other side of the world, and now that the emotion subsided, I want to share with interested their main impressions of the visit to Venezuela.
Will the 49 curves of pictures in which I tried to minimize their presence so as not to scare the others.





Basic emotions can be put in a few points: hot, nice, friendly, cheap. And cheap everything from the ticket, which is against all prejudices and assumptions came slightly more expensive than the average trip through our country, $ 870 per person. However, there's the secret: if you buy a ticket to Russia, it will be released at least twice as expensive as buying it in Venezuela due to the payment of the fuel fee on their cost, as well as most of the tickets allocated to the airlines of the Venezuela's quota, the price is a more than tempting. We found a compatriot in Venezuela, which bought us everything organized this fantastic holiday, for which you, Olga, thank you very much!



The main holiday we spent on the island. Margarita in the waters of the Caribbean, plus made a trip to the continental jungles of Canaima National Park. But first things first. All about. Margaret, by the way, is a zone of duty free, so that the impression of the price lists were also aggravated it.



On the beaches of a long story makes no sense, as in all the other "paradise" for the Russian ground: sand, coconuts and the sea. By the way, in the beauty of the underwater world of the Caribbean Sea is noticeably inferior to the Indian Ocean.



Worn on the beach here are lovely dogs here



The procedure observes the National Guard, which by the way, at a premium in the country, as well as the police to combat bicycle



Types islands are very diverse: Next to typical equatorial greens adjacent to the classic scorching desert with cacti, snakes, scorpions and tequila



8. On the island a bunch of beaches, all of them are free to visit, only need to pay for the institution nearest beach chairs and umbrellas. The hotel is usually either a bar with sun loungers on the beach, or on sun loungers in the quota next to the hotel bars. By the way, the system stay there and classic, with breakfast, and there are also beloved by many Russians all inclusive.



9. However, despite the fact that our first hotel was just "all inclusive", we popolzovavshis this service only a couple of days. And what if for a fantastic dinner for two here pay mere pennies. Here Sami expensive dinner during our stay: two 2-hkilogrammovyh lobster with all kinds of salads, snacks and two bottles of wine, he left us at about 2200 rubles.



10. Omar's way, you can eat in any bar on any beach, the cook periodically carry them for a walk, luring visitors. A kilogram of finished lobster costs an average of 350-400 rubles. The most expensive restaurants in the Venezuelan dish.



11. In addition to the beaches on Margarita is something to see. The island is quite large, at more than 50 km long, the ring is more than 200 km. In every town or castle, is there necessarily a coastal fort. Entrance to any of them, by the way, free - you only need to enroll in a magazine at the entrance



12. Types fantastic, lacking only the Black Pearl on the horizon



13. On the western tip of the island, in the town of Pampatar, lighthouse. The building is probably a strategic, once protected by guards.



14. But despite this, the entrance is still free, and friendly guards open the doors wanting to climb to stare at the beauty above.



15. At the opposite end of the island is a national park La Restinga, one of the main attractions of the island. Log in under the protection of Godzilla.



16. It is almost 20 000 hectares of mangroves, alternating channels through which you can easily take a ride, paying for a boat with a navigator 300 bolivars per hour.



17. By the way, with the national currency it's complicated: Bolivar officially traded on the international market, there is a draconian exchange rate Rack state (6, 3 bolivars per dollar), by which, however, and manage to buy and cheap tickets, and sometimes branded clothes for ridiculous penny. Real same informal course, recently growing by leaps and bounds, as compared with the rate of devaluation of the national currency there, here in Russia is really doing well. In June, sold at 20 bolivars per dollar, having arrived we exchanged out of 35, the eve of departure is already 40, and now, as they say, buying dollars at 50. Appropriately, for simplicity, we have assumed a price in rubles subtracting 15% from the price in Bolivar. Quite comfortable



18. About Cars car hire in taking is possible and necessary, if there is no desire to spend their vacation on the beach vegetable, bursting rum with oysters. Rental costs from 900 bolivars (for fucking killed spark) to 2,000 for a decent jeep type 4Runner. We skated on most of the Chevy Optra is amerikosovsky analogue Lacetti in the richest complete set, 1400 bolivars a day.



19. SDA have a little thing - who first entered the intersection at that advantage. A turn signals are only tourists. Limit of ppm, as I understood, too, is not present, the main rule - is fastened. In this accident, almost none.



20. Local car very picturesque, mainly because of course, what to buy, and even more so to serve a new car, it is extremely expensive. But all the cars are decorated with images of the Virgin Mary, the guardian of the island. Anyway Venezuelans, like all Latinos, extremely devout.



21. Another reminder of the patron. Margarita - Mountain tits Breasts Virgin Mary



22. The local fauna we saw a little bit, but sometimes able to take a look at all sorts of divnosti such as hummingbirds



23. If you get bored on the island, you can either order a sea voyage from billfish fishing (I really fucking caught)



24. Prior to the visit to the numerous neighboring islands format "Bounty" with white sand, blackjack and hookers



25. In between holiday on the island, we took a departure on the continent, to the national park Canaima, located in the southeast of Venezuela, on the border with Brazil and Guyana



26. travel there only by plane, first to the city of Puerto Ordaz, and from there to Canaima.



27. Puerto Ordaz himself, by the way turned out to be a very nice town with a gorgeous park in the middle of the city.



28. There we were also able to walk a little, the first impression of the city park format "Victory Park" first broke the local squirrels



29. And then suddenly draw in the middle of the park waterfalls



30. Types of there, I must say, fantastically beautiful



31. A fish that can feed 10 bolivars a hefty bucket of feed for 10 bolivars, huge and violent



32. However, here we are in a minibus to Canaima. Everything is simple and mestyachkovo



33. Ass world



34. And now, and "hotel", located just in the valley of the waterfalls



35. On the same day at the falls on a tour: you can climb on the rocks to climb over a waterfall, in general, very beautiful



36. unusual



37. But the main, it is of course a trip to the Angel. Used in the morning and 4 hours of torture on a narrow tight bank canoe, from which I gained ploskozhopie for the first half hour, with a stop for a snack and a swim.



38. While all this time around is incredible spectacle



39. The main attraction - it certainly tepuis, flat-topped mountains



40. Mountain in Canaima is the oldest surviving part of the land untouched from the time of Pangea



41. And also the most sparsely populated



42. During the journey along the river by the way, we were soaked to the skin, and besides, and pizdtski frozen. The temperature at planting was more than 30, and for the lifting of the river (about a kilometer above sea level), it has fallen to 15 degrees, in addition to this a few times a shower of rain, and all this against the background of constant spray from the carrier fragile little boat



43. And the arrival of the last spurt - 5 kilometers through the jungle to the mountain Auyán-tepui, pleasure lover, I must say ...



44. And he, Salto Ángel, the highest waterfall in the world. Unfortunately it is not very autumn high water, but the spectacle is still impressive - almost a kilometer in height.



45. And below it, you can easily swim



46. ​​And then it was going back again, beaches, shopping and hysterical. By the way even I, not very long zhaluyuschy Shopping penetrating through prices, and that's such a convenient device that can be hired



47. It is really a socialist country where socialism has a human face: free education and medicine, free social housing, which is built there throughout



48. And despite the fact that they live these very charming and friendly, people are not rich, they live happily ever after, which I am pleased to wish all of you!



49. And in the final of my favorite photo. Separate incomparable pleasure - filling in Venezuela. Counting our money, a liter of gasoline cost about 8, 2 pennies. The price of your tank at home, where I could go almost 10 years
