Dans le cadre de préparatifs de longs séjours solo Venezuela, au Costa Rica et en Colombie, j’ai besoin de plusieurs conseils. Pas de parano mais une recherche des règles simples à connaître et à observer pour éviter tous soucis inutiles. Vous remerciant d’avance pour vos partages d’expériences et conseils bien avisés.
1/ ARGENT ET CHANGE
Pour faire le change au noir, change beaucoup plus intéressant, comment procéder et où aller pour ne pas se faire avoir ou attaquer? Le faire aux frontières?
Mais comment se balader avec des enormes liasses de billets au quotidien? On se retrouve avec une valise pour faire ses courses ? Qu’est il encore possible de payer avec Bolivars? C’est accepté où? Dans les magasins, les hotels, taxis ? Ou ils refusent? J’ai le droit de payer avec Bolivar à qui je veux ou cela peut m’être refusé et par qui? Les dollars sont préférables que les euros pour payer? Mais forcemment les prix sont bien plus élevés si on paye en USD et surtout être visés comme touriste? Quels conseils selon quelles situations? Comment faites vous au quotidien?
2/ SECURITE
Caracas la nuit c’est uniquement se déplacer d’un quartier à autre quartier en taxi sinon trop risqué? Que faut il absolument éviter pour ne pas se faire braquer ou autre? Quoi ne pas porter comme vêtements ou accessoires de jour ou de nuit? Comment protéger ses biens restés à l’hotel ou dans chambre d’hote? Mettre une alarme sur la porte d’entrée? Faire confiance à la police? Risques de problèmes sécu en faisant videos paysages, nature, mer, animaux avec Gopro ou drone? Se faire accompagner toujours pour éviter soucis? Combien couterait un guide local à la journée pour être accompagné en forêt ou dans un parc national?
3/ VISA SEJOUR
Il faut obligatoirement avoir une date de billet de retour avion pour circuler et pour avoir visa tourisme? Sous quelle manière, que présenter? Car ne connaissant pas les dates retour comment procéder? Possible de faire des copies de fictives réservations? Possible de rester 2 mois, sortir du pays puis revenir qq jours après avec nouveau visa touriste?
4/ POSTE & COLIS
N’ayant pas d’adresses fixes pour longue période car allant faire souvent de nombreux déplacements est il possible et surtout sécurisé de se faire expédier colis, paquets ou courriers à une poste restante ou à une poste à Caracas? Les services postaux fonctionnent correctement ou c’est l’anarchie? Comment expédier en toute sécurité? Pour envoyer par la poste des échantillons de café, de cacao en France comment faire? Quels services utilisez vous ? La Poste nationale ou privée (ups, fedex....) pour envoyer? Achat d’ enveloppes grandes est facile à trouver ou préférable d’acheter en Colombie?
5/SANTE
J’ai fais un rappel et pris tous les vaccins obligatoires pour long séjour, contre la rage aussi. Mais quels sont les risques maladies, moustiques actuels? Quels aliments ou pratiques sont à éviter? Pour aller dans forêts, parcs quelles protections prendre?
Quelles sont les affaires du quotidien pour santé, soins et hygiène absolument nécessaires d’acheter en dehors du Vénézuela? Pénurie sur tout?
6/CIGARES
Amateur de cigares où faut il seulement les acheter pour gage de fraicheur, de qualité et sérieux? Pas envie de fumer des mauvaises copies pour touristes comme c’est souvent dans la rue ou marchés à Cuba.
Salut
Pour le taux de change il faut demander dans les posadas ou dans les petits magasins quand tu es dans des petits bleds.
Sinon a la frontière il y avait beaucoup de gens qui te changeaient tes dollars (vaut mieux avoir des USD que des €) a un taux intéressant. La frontière Venez/Colombie est plutôt a eviter en ce moment...tout comme Caracas mais bon...on prend ses risques.
Consultes le site dolartoday pour suivre le cours du change. Au marché noir il est quasi a 30 000bolos pour 1€. L'an dernier il était a 1000. Donc je crois qu'il faudra prévoir un sac pour l'argent :)).
Tout le monde acceptaient les paiements en bolos. (Ça a peut être changé).
Billet de retour obligatoire...comme partout j'imagine....et un aller simple pour caracas y de forte chance qu'on te demandes un billet de sortie vu la situation du moment.
Je précise que je ne suis pas passé par Caracas mais je suis resté 1 mois dans le delta de l'Orénoque. Et que comme dans quasi tous les pays aujourd'hui ce qui se passe dans la capitale est souvent different du reste du pays. Mais la prudence est vraiment de mise au Venezuela. Je sortais pas mon reflex quand j'étais dans une ville.
Après ce serait bien decrire un peu votre type de voyage....et votre itinéraire.
Merci bien pour ces premieres indications partagées . De bons conseils à retenir.
Pas de soucis sécurité durant ton séjour ? Orénoque aussi beau qu'on le dit ?
Parcours et séjours seront selon les saisons et conditions sur place. Long séjours de plus d'un an donc j'ai du temps pour concilier. Surtout pour faire photos, courtes vidéos dans parcs, forets, mer. Et donc être accompagné par guide local privé. Pas un tour opérator forcemment. Combien je pourrais/ devrais le payer à la journée?
Alors j'ai pas eu de souci de securité durant mon sejour. Faut dire que l'orenoque et canaima sont des coins plutot tranquille.
L'orenoque c'est tres joli. Et je n'en ai vu qu'une petite partie.
Pour ce qui est de faire des tours en solo ca se complique un peu suivant les endroits....dans l'orenoque par exemple il faut aller dans les agences (je n'en ai vu qu'une) de Tucupita qui ne proposent que des packages genre 3J/2N dans le delta.
L'autre option est de te balader sur le front de fleuve et de demander a des waraos s'ils peuvent te faire faire un tour dans le delta moyennant finances bien sur. Apres tu peux te pointer dans des hotels du delta vu le peu de touristes y a toujours de la place mais il faut les prevenir a l'avance car ils doivent acheter de la nourriture pour les clients.
Pour le parc de Canaima (qui est ABSOLUMENT a voir) la pas le choix tu peux pas y aller sans tour. Accessible uniquement en avion. Le tour 3J2N coute entre 300 et 350 USD pour les premier prix (en gros la difference de prix ca se joue sur l'hotel). Mais ça les vaut amplement. Pour les tarifs de guide par jour j'en ai aucune idée.Et le souci c'est que tout ce que je te dis est a mettre au conditionnel car la situation du pays fait que il peut soit ne pu y avoir d'essence donc de bateau, d'avion, ou que sais je... et ce n'est qu'une fois sur place qu'on a l'information :)
Cigares, rhum cafés.....bah la c'est au gré des pays. Moi perso mon meilleur café je l'ai bu au nicaragua. Et mon meilleur thé a Leticia en Colombie.
Je prends bonne note et précieusement de toutes tes infos...A trouver compromis avec guides privés. Donc Parc CANAIMA.....Absolu
Tu as fais je pense bcp d'images. Pour le matériel tu te baladais comment ?
En effet depuis 2 ans bcp de changements et de problemes de pénuries accumulés. Voir de plus près pour infos récentes.
Question logement sécurité personnelle + protection matériels (ordi, disque durs, photo...)
Pour séjours et avec seuil de budget raisonnable qu’est il en général de préférence selon les villes ou les pays (costa, colombie, venezuela, nicaragua) de privilégier? Chambre chez l’habitant, appartement entier seul (airbb), hotel moyenne gamme? Quid pour longs séjours 30 jours ?
Selon l’endroit vous conseillez de rajouter (si autorisé ou possible) un grand cadenas, petite alarme sur la porte....?
Alors niveau protection du matos il faudrait protéger votre matériel contre l'humidité (qui a été fatale pour mon ordi)...
Sinon pour le logement j'opte généralement pour la chambre chez l'habitant ou les guesthouse/ auberge de jeunesse. A part un petit cadenas sur le sac de temps a autre je laisse mes affaires comme ça...jamais eu de souci.
J'ai imprimé la documentation de l'ambassade, mais je pense que les services administratif vénézuelien on du se former en france lol... niveau clareté ils…
Partant en Amérique du Sud dés le mois prochain pour une période indéfinie j'ai pour projet d'acheter deux ânes et de me construire ma propre charrette via le…

Hello,
my wife and I will be in Cusco for a week in March 2027.
I’d like to organize the visit to the site on our own, combining the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
We’d leave Cusco on Day 1 to arrive at the site in the morning, then stay in Aguas Calientes or Ollantaytambo, and on Day 2 return to Cusco while visiting the Sacred Valley.
Is this doable?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi everyone,
We’re planning 40 days in Uruguay and Argentina in February and March, trying to avoid as much rain as possible.
We’re thinking of starting in Buenos Aires, then heading to Bariloche, and from there flying to Córdoba, Mendoza, or Salta. Maybe by bus or renting a car to explore each region.
Do you have any suggestions or tips for us? We love picturesque, historic cities and landscapes. As seasoned travelers, we’re used to planning our trips ourselves.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
We’re spending 3 weeks in Rio between February 20 and March 15, 2027, to visit our son and daughter-in-law. We’re thinking of one or two "escapes" from Rio—3-day trips to get away from the city (so not too far, max 3–4 hours by car or bus). We’re all ears for suggestions! We love beautiful nature and authentic experiences, not so much the touristy spots... even though those spots are often in beautiful places, we’d rather avoid them.
Thanks for your insights!

Hello,
we’re arriving in Fortaleza on February 14, 2027, and planning to rent a car to drive to João Pessoa in two stages. We’ll leave from there on the 20th or 21st to head to Rio. Our questions:
- Which stop between Fortaleza and João Pessoa would be the most enjoyable?
- How long does it take to drive from Fortaleza to João Pessoa?
- Are there any easy hikes (no guide needed) around João Pessoa?
Thanks for all your replies—I’m hoping for lots!

Hi there,
I’m planning a trip with my partner (no kids this time—thanks, Grandma!) for two weeks to celebrate her 40th birthday. I’ve been thinking about Chile. We’re looking at leaving around September 18, 2027, starting in the south and returning in early April.
Here’s what I had in mind:
8 nights in a van in the Lake District and the start of the Carretera Austral (up to the Chaitén area). We’re set to arrive in Puerto Montt around 2:00 PM. We don’t want to go too far south since we’re planning to explore the heart of Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) with the kids when they’re older. The idea is to spend 3 nights discovering the lakes (up to Cochamó) and 3 nights in Pumalín Park. I’ve also added two transition nights.
7 nights in the Atacama to experience another side of Chile (San Pedro), taking a domestic flight from Puerto Montt to Calama in the early afternoon. We’ll depart for France in the early evening from Santiago.
IMPORTANT NOTICE for those planning to take a bus to another city, state, or destination from Salvador!
Starting January 20, 2026, the intercity bus station Rodoviária is changing its address!
The Rodoviária is leaving the Iguatemi area and will now be located in ÁGUAS CLARAS (about twenty kilometers from downtown Salvador).
A brand-new station (the most modern in Brazil) has just been set up there, accessible by car/taxi/Uber/metro.
Allow for much more transfer time (especially during rush hours), so leave early if you're heading to Chapada Diamantina or other Brazilian cities by bus.
Remember, there are also private transfers (even French-speaking ones) that can take you directly from your hotel in Salvador to your hotel in Chapada. Sure, it’ll be more expensive, but you’ll save on transfer time and comfort.
Tropical greetings from Salvador,

Hello,
We’re thinking of spending 1 month in Chile, maybe doing a loop?
From 12/23 to 01/22.
What are the must-see sights, given we’re more interested in the country’s cultural side than the beaches?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
We're planning a trip to southern Chile in November. Here's our tentative itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Santiago, then a flight the next day to Balmaceda where we'll pick up a rental car to reach Coyhaique.
Day 3: Walk in the Coyhaique National Reserve, then continue to Puerto Chacabuco. Return to Coyhaique for the second night.
Day 4: Drive to Villa Cerro Castillo for a hike in the national park. Continue to Puerto Tranquilo and stay there for 3 nights.
Day 5: Boat tour on Laguna San Rafael.
Day 6: Day trip to Monte San Valentin Glacier.
Day 7: Excursion to the Marble Chapels, then drive to Puerto Guadal. We'll stay there for 3 nights.
Day 8: Walk along Lago Carrera and return to Puerto Guadal.
Day 9: Rio Baker Valley and, if possible, a glacier excursion.
Day 10: Drive to Cochrane and hike in Tamango National Reserve. We'll stay 2 nights in Cochrane.
Day 11: Walk in the Chacabuco Valley.
Day 12: Drive to Caleta Tortel. We'll stay there for 2 nights.
Day 13: Cruise in the Rio Baker delta.
Day 14: Return to Cochrane.
Day 15: Return to Balmaceda in two stages.
Day 16: Continue the return journey.
Day 17: Return the rental car and head back to Santiago.
After this, we're also planning to explore northern Santiago. I'll post about that part once I have a clearer idea of the route.
What do you think of this itinerary? Is it doable in 17 days?
Thanks in advance for your tips and recommendations.

Hi everyone! So happy to be back on this forum—it’s packed with such useful info! 🙂 My husband and I are planning a 2.5-week self-drive trip to Colombia at the end of the year, including some domestic flights. My first question is: is it possible, easy, and safe to do a road trip in Colombia?
Below is our draft itinerary (with questions at each stop):
29/11: France → Colombia. Overnight in Bogotá.
30/11: Exploring Bogotá: La Candelaria and Montserrate.
01/12: Gold Museum (closed on Mondays). Drive to Zipaquirá (1.5 hrs) to visit the Salt Cathedral. Then drive to Villa de Leyva (3 hrs). Explore the town. Overnight in Villa de Leyva.
02/12: Return to Bogotá via Laguna de Guatavita (5 hrs). Is it worth the detour? Overnight in Bogotá.
03/12: Flight to Pereira. Drive to Salento. Overnight in Salento.
04/12: Cocora Valley (hike among the wax palms) followed by a drive around the area. Are there any waterfalls or other sights nearby?
05/12: Visit a coffee finca—any recommendations? Then explore the surroundings: Filandia, Manizales, waterfalls? Hot springs? Which ones?
06/12: Flight to Medellín.
07/12: Exploring Medellín: Centro, Plaza Botero, Comuna 13. How do you visit Comuna 13? Is it easy to get around Medellín? Metro? Buses?
08/12: Drive to Guatapé (2 hrs). Visit the town, stroll around the lake, then El Peñol. Overnight in Guatapé.
09/12: Return to Medellín.
10/12: Flight to Santa Marta. Drive to a hotel near Tayrona Park.
11/12: Tayrona—El Zaino entrance.
12/12: Tayrona—Palangana entrance, then Bahia Concha and Santa Marta. What do you think?
13/12: Drive to Minca (45 mins). Can we reach the village by car? Pozo Azul and Marinka waterfalls. Overnight in Minca (or back in Tayrona?).
14/12: Drive to Puerto Nao (5 hrs). Stop in Ciénaga on the way + boat tour in Nueva Venecia and/or Buena Vista? Not enough time? Overnight in Puerto Nao.
15/12: Exploring Cartagena: Centro, Getsemaní, the walls + La Boquilla if we have time.
16/12: La Boquilla (is it really worth it?) if we didn’t have time yesterday, then back to the beach.
17/12: Return to France.
So, what do you think? Is this doable, or should we tweak it? Thanks in advance for your invaluable feedback and tips! 🙂
Hi there, I’ll be in Brazil from December 10th to the end of February.
I’ve sketched out a rough itinerary but I’m not sure how to arrange it—considering the climate, year-end holidays, and Carnival.
Basically, I’m thinking of the Amazon, the Northeast coast with Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (but skipping Chapada Diamantina),
Ouro Preto, Paraty, and Ilha Grande—but no Rio visit.
Is this doable in 3 months?
Which direction should I take for this itinerary?
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone, does anyone know the agency Ventura Travel Agency (not ventura travel)? After lots of research and quotes, it’s the only one offering Uyuni at a reasonable price while meeting all the criteria: transfer to the border, private-room accommodation, and a very fair rate. Other agencies or guides either offer shared rooms, no border transfer, or prices that are way too high. But I’d love to hear some reviews about this agency. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
We're planning a trip to Chile to visit the Atacama Desert and then head toward Putre, Lauca, Salar de Surire, etc.
Which would be the better time to go, April or November?
Is an SUV enough?
Looking forward to your tips!
Hi everyone, French travelers in Chile—what credit cards do you use for your various car rentals in the country? I’m traveling in September and was planning to switch my regular debit card (a VISA PREMIER in deferred debit mode) for the deposit guarantee.
My rentals are with Figal in Punta Arenas, Econautos in Arica, and Chilean Rent a Car in Temuco, and all of them want the deposit on a credit card. For me, deferred debit *should* work, but I’ve read comments saying the opposite.
How’s it actually working on the ground with these rental companies right now? Will a deferred debit card work, or not at all?
In France, banks don’t issue credit cards, right—or am I mistaken?
Hi everyone, is it still possible to travel in Ecuador outside the Amazon region? If so, do you have a reliable agency to recommend? All your recent experiences from the past few months would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much
Hi,
We’re heading to Buenos Aires for 3 days in November and would like to do a guided tour of a few neighborhoods. There are "free" tours, but none in French. Does anyone have a guide to recommend so we can really get to know the city beyond just the architecture?
Thanks
Hi there,
I’m desperately looking for info on the schedules and routes of (shared) boats to visit the islands of Lake Titicaca.
From what I’ve found, there’s a *combi* (bus) that leaves from Puno to go to Llachon. Where do you catch it? What are the schedules and frequency? Does it take about 1 hour?
Then in Llachon, you can take a boat to Amantani (45 min). Same question—where do you check for frequency and schedule?
After that, from Amantani, boats go to Taquile and then Uros. Do you have enough time to visit the islands between two boats? Frequency and schedule?
The goal is to do this tour independently (no agency) over 2 days. Thanks for any tips you might have!
I just got back from a trip to Bolivia and wow—what a wake-up call. It’s not the easiest country, but it’s absolutely stunning.
I started with Isla del Sol, perfect for easing into the altitude at a relaxed pace. Try to stay in the northern part of the island—it’s quieter and the views are insane. And the trout there? Unreal. Quick tip: bring cash in small bills; they almost never have change, and cards are rarely accepted.
Next up, La Paz. The city’s pretty wild, built in every direction. I did a few hikes in the area, including the famous Charquini Lagoon (the blue lake) at over 5,000 m—let’s just say I struggled 😅 but it was so beautiful it was totally worth it.
After that, I headed to Sajama. It’s cool, especially for the hot springs, and I stayed in Tomarapi. But honestly, if you’re short on time, you can skip it without too many regrets.
The highlight of the trip: the Salar. I did it starting from Tupiza, and I *highly* recommend going Tupiza → Uyuni. Way less crowded at the start and the landscapes are super varied. For the tour, I used SplitYourGuide to find a group, and it worked out great. Super handy for splitting costs and meeting people.
I wrapped up in Sucre—this city is gorgeous, all white, with such a chill vibe. And the salteñas + ice cream? Next level 😋
Bottom line: Bolivia’s a bit rough around the edges, sometimes exhausting (shoutout to the altitude), but it’s 1000% worth it.
If you’ve got questions or need tips, I’m happy to help!

I was planning to go to Réunion and stay in half-board accommodation with non-professionals, but it seems that’s not really the custom there—or maybe my budget isn’t big enough.
So, since I’ve already traveled around Ecuador and Peru, I’m now looking at Argentina, especially for its mountains (like the ones in Réunion that tempted me, even though—frustratingly—I could only admire them from below).
I plan to get around by bus and don’t know in advance where I’ll sleep, so I won’t book ahead. If I like a place, I might stay for several days.
I know that in Chile, it’s easy to find half-board accommodation, but what about in Argentina?
I’d like to stay with locals in half-board without it being a professional setup. I’m not sure if this is common practice there. It’s up to me to find someone willing to host me.
What do you think?
What would be a fair price (keeping in mind that 40 to 50 € is the max I can spend on accommodation, breakfast, and dinner)?
Hi everyone,
We’re heading to Patagonia for three weeks in November, starting from Coyhaique in Chile.
We won’t have a car, and I’m struggling to find information about transportation options for a few parts of the itinerary we’d like to do:
1) From Perito Moreno (the town, near Los Antiguos), we’d like to travel down Ruta 40 to visit Perito Moreno National Park and then cross into Chile via the Paso Roballos (at the latitude of Bajo Caracoles) to reach the road to Cochrane. Without a car, it seems we’ll need to use private agencies to get to the national park—do you have any recommendations or suggestions? Also, does anyone know if it’s possible to cross into Chile via Paso Roballos (from Bajo Caracoles) without a rental car? That is, without having to go all the way down to El Chaltén or back up toward Perito Moreno/Los Antiguos, etc.?
2) The second stretch that seems a bit tricky (though still easier, in theory) is from Caleta Tortel to Villa O’Higgins on the Chilean side. Do we have to go back through Cochrane, or are there ways to get directly from Tortel to Villa O’Higgins?
3) Finally, we’d like to hike into Argentina (El Chaltén) from O’Higgins. Any recommendations for this? Do we need to go through an agency? What’s the estimated duration of the trek?
As you’ve probably gathered, we want to visit some off-the-beaten-path spots but don’t have a car, so we’re looking for the best possible compromises.
Thanks so much in advance for all your suggestions!

Hi,
we’re planning a round trip from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, to Salta, Argentina, in two months. On the way there, we’ll take the northern route via Susques, Route 27, then 52. But for the return, we were thinking of taking the southern route via San Antonio de los Cobres, Route 51, then 23. Is it similar to the northern route in terms of road surface? How busy is it, and are there gas stations? Basically, should we be worried about doing it in an SUV that’s supposedly 4x4 but has regular road tires and no second spare wheel, obviously...
I’ve seen that we can stop over in San Antonio de los Cobres.
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,
we’ll be in Calama at the end of March 2026, and I’m looking for a reliable car rental there for a 7-day road trip to Salta, Argentina. But I’m struggling with the car rental agencies in Calama because the reviews can be scary. I saw Gyg, which has great ratings, but I’m a bit wary (5/5 from 59 reviews—either the guy’s amazing or it’s fake...), but I can’t find any recent reviews on VF in general.
For Punta Arenas, I booked with Dachelet and didn’t have any issues with email exchanges.
Thanks in advance.
Raf.
I’m planning the trip of my dreams for next November—Chile!

1-Flight to Santiago
2-Explore Santiago
3-Explore Santiago
4-Bus from STG to Valpo (2h) + visit Valparaíso + night in Viña

6-Flight to Calama + bus to San Pedro + explore and acclimate in San Pedro + car rental in the afternoon (+Chaxa?)
7-(Very early) Valle del Arcoíris + Laguna Cejar + Valle de la Luna
Good evening,
We’d love to go in November to enjoy some beautiful beaches for about two weeks, preferably around Bahia, as November/December seems like a great time.
We’ve already traveled to Brazil several times and know the south of Rio as well as the region between São Luís and Fortaleza, and Chapada Diamantina...
What advice would you give us: the south with Itaparica, Morro de São Paulo, Boipeba, Barra Grande—or all four? Or maybe the north?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
During an upcoming trip to Peru, we’ll have one day to explore around Arequipa (excluding Colca Canyon) with a car and driver.
We’ve got a few options:
- Toro Muerto petroglyphs and dinosaur footprints at Querulpa
- Ruta del Sillar and Quebrada de Culebrillas
