While the country has all the assets of a tourist destination, it faces recurring insecurity and socio-political unrest that hardly encourage tourism. This is especially true for its capital, Caracas, considered the most dangerous in the world. Even though security may seem better elsewhere in the country—whether in terms of urban crime or trafficking zones near the borders (which are strongly discouraged)—it’s best to stay vigilant, especially if you plan to venture off the beaten path. In short, Venezuela is a destination for somewhat experienced travelers.
