cristy powall (brazil) - 17/03/2004 : what is venezuela's capital alison (scotland) - 22/03/2004 : were is rcmp bob (canada) - 25/04/2004 : votre site est extraordinaire mais je voudrais plus d'informations à propos du Venezuela. Merci pour tout... Rashid (Venezuela) - 28/04/2004 : Give me some information klein Vanessa (France) - 05/06/2004 : se cite est tro super pour es je avoir encore + d'information.Mersi 1000 fois anna (malaysia) - 08/06/2004 : i want to know more about their people, their culture. do they hv any traditional dress? katie (usa) - 11/06/2004 : The Biggist water fall is in Venezuela.. so what is its name? answer 4 cristy (usa ) - 11/06/2004 : Vnezeuelas capital is Caracas javier (venezuela) - 11/06/2004 : the capital is caracas, it´s really dangerous(second most dangerous city in america), well, we don´t have any traditional dress, exept in interior, like small towns, for example in the llanos is a traditional dress we call liki-liki( I don´t know what it means that actually)the culture depends on each place.the biggest water fall it´s called ' el salto angel ' ( in spanish)it´s in canaima. crb (B) - 28/06/2004 : The Biggist water fall name is 'Salto del Angel' leonardo (venezuela) - 20/07/2004 : venezuela's capital is caracas, and is one of the most beatiful cities of latinamerica because of it's many parks and it's icon, the avila mountain. caracas is often called the greenest city of the world because there are trees and vegetation overall. caracas might be a little bit dangerous, but many people make tehmselves a wrong image from it, you just have to be a little more carefull tha in other cities, it's just like in new york or LA where it's not very safe to be driving a convertible ferrari in the middle of a slum...what i mean by this it's that you just have to be prudent in what you do, and also 95 percent of the violence in caracas is concentrated in two suburbs (libertador and sucre), therefore just by avoiding these suburbs you already have 95 percent less chances of being a victim of the criminality.Javier please if you dont know enough english as to write something usefull in this site, dont write anything, i believe you are not being helpful for someone who is interested in visiting venezuela when you go and say caracas is dangerous. I'm quite sure you just dont live in caracas, or have a very wrong image of what your city is...as javier said, the liki liki is the traditional dress, and it looks a lot like a tuxedo but made out of a different material. traditionally it is brown or white, and it's usually used in festive ocasions, like a marriage or an important party. achouak (france) - 18/08/2004 : jaimerais en connaitre plus sur votre pays et les habitants pour pouvoir un jour y venir ce pays m interesse enormement et sa culture aussi donc j attends vos mails cordialement achouak Pablo (Venezuela) - 27/08/2004 : Caracas is definetly NOT the best city to visit in Latin America. It is certainly one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Violence and crime can be found in every corner of its dirty streets. Most Venezuelans are unaware of their own misery(like our friend Leonardo). Law enforcement is nonexistent. Please, don't come to Venezuela, if you intend to have a nice vacation, visit some other interesting country! natalie (USA) - 11/09/2004 : well i am doing a report on Venezuela in my world geo class and i was wondering if anyone could send me that information to my email address like i wanted to know the population trend and other economical things like that ohhh and trust me im not a nerd im just looking for the easy way out of missing a party because of homework but thank you whoever sends it to me.

For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: an embattled president, a divided military, drug-related conflicts along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, over dependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and native peoples. · What is some of the basic geography of Venezuela? -Venezuela is in Northern South America, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, between Colombia and Guyana. It is a total of 912,050 sq km and slightly more than twice the size of California. Venezuela is on major sea and air routes linking North and South America. It has Angel Falls in the Guiana Highlands, which is the world's highest waterfall. The Andes Mountains and Maracaibo Lowlands are in northwest. · What is the weather like? -The weather is tropical, hot, and humid, but more moderate in highlands. Some of Venezuela’s natural hazards are subject to floods, rockslides, mudslides, and periodic droughts. · What is the population of Venezuela? - 25,017,387 people reside in Venezuela today, with a population growth rate of 1.44%. The birth rate is 19.34 births/1,000 people, and the death rate is 4.9 deaths/1,000 people. · How are the people of Venezuela? -There are Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arab, German, African, indigenous people, nominally being 96% Roman Catholic, 2% Protestant, and 2% other. · Tell me about the government. -The capital of Venezuela is Caracas, and the government is a federal republic. There are twenty-three states, one federal district, and one federal dependency. The day of independence is July 5, 1811. The current president is Hugo Chavez. · What are some of the economical factors? - Venezuela continues to be highly dependent on the petroleum sector, which accounts for roughly one-third of GDP, around 80% of export earnings, and more than half of government operating revenues. Despite higher oil prices at the end of 2002 and into 2003, domestic political instability, culminating in a disastrous two-month national oil strike from December 2002 to February 2003, temporarily halted economic activity. The economy remained in depression in 2003, declining by 9.2% after an 8.9% fall in 2002. · What are some of the popluar foods of Venezuela? - The cuisine of Venezuela is as varied as its culture. Instead of bread, most Venezuelans eat arepas. Arepas are fried or baked corn or wheat pancakes, often filled with meat, eggs or cheese. They are so popular that there are food stands, called areperas, which specialize in making arepas. Similar foods include cachapas, tequeños, empanadas and pan de jámon, long bread filled with ham, olives and raisins. Meat is also a very important part of the Venezuelan cuisine. The largest meal in Venezuela is eaten between noon and 3 p.m. Many Venezuelans go home to eat lunch with their families. Venezuelans eat a light supper at 8 p.m. or later. · Is there any typical or traditional dress? - There is no traditional dress in Venezuela, except for in interior towns. For example in the Llanos there is a traditional dress we call “liki-liki”. Diana (USA/Venezuela) - 08/10/2004 : Venezuela is a country full of beauties and wonders. It is a little dangerous to go there right now because the country is not going through a really good situation. Well I do recomend visiting Venezuela, not only Caracas, (if the situation gets better) because it is full of natures and organisms. Venezuela has a world record of the biggest spider in the world. and how you all know the highest water fall which is called Angel Falls (El Salto Angel). We have a rich culture.

The name in 1955 was Institute Pro-Infancia Y Hospital De Ninos. Can anyone help me? Thomas (UK) - 14/07/2005 : I was in Maracaibo (Zulia) for 6 months... the place was really hot and always sunny, the people were great once you get to know them.. but tempers can be short in the midday heat. One thing i struggled with was the parasites, if you are not used to the tropics... be very careful what you eat. The drugs to rid you of parasites over there are damn strong! especially if you get amoebic dysentry. I spent a lot of time consulting doctors in hospital Coromoto which has been there since the 1950's (Marilyn). Overall its a oil city and there are a few international hotels where europeans and americanos visit to discuss oil issues. I still love Venezuela and its people, I plan to return one day to see Merida, Bolivar, Guayana states.

Caracas is the most dangerous city....and probably ranks right up there w/ South LA, Liberty City and every other large city's bad area. W/ that said, Maracaibo, Puerta La Cruz, Barquisimeto, Valencia-Maracay are all good....common sense goes a long way....don't flash your Rolex and you'll be fine. The beef(lomito) is the best in the world and inexpensive....the brassarie style chicken is outstanding and arepa's are better than Big Macs...and, the cerveza's are always served ice cold. The women are the most beautiful women in the world and all wear extremely tight clothing...tight jeans...tops w/ the push-up bra as a main staple in their wardrobe....but natural beauty. Anyone can be a taxi driver....stick w/ those that are official or licensed. Unfortunate what Vz has become...poverty and desperation are the norm...it could be so much more. Kathy (Australia) - 02/11/2007 : Sounds like no one knows what the traditional dress is I was wondering myself but then I heard there is no traditional dress except for in some remote areas even then they dont say what it might be....interesting !

Raúl (France) - 10/02/2008 : Venezuela is one of the nicest countries in the world, the people is warm, open and friendly. The beaches in the cost are quite beautiful. However, huge criminality rate is a fact. You just have to be careful about where you go, as in any other country by the way. You should avoid Caracas, it is only acceptable to go there to pick a national bus to another city or region like Los Andes. Mérida is supossed to be one of the safest and coolest cities. It is a student village in the west of Venezuela. also because of its beauty it Merida is a must as touristical destination.
