Lots of great and diverse beaches, and a really nice Spanish language immersion school called CELA. It’s a great place to learn Spanish, make friends from different parts of the world, and hang out on the beach with them. I recommend it.

Buy your Bolivars on the black market! by Ann

When traveling to Margarita Island, get U.S. dollars before you go. Don’t bother with travelers checks or Euros or whatever, just $50s and $100s in USD.

US money is very popular on the black market. You can buy 4,000 bvs for 1 USD. BUT you can only get this rate on the street with crisp 50s or 100s. The offical rate is about 2,100 per 1 USD. Without shopping around you can easily get 3,000, even with singles or 20s.

I had to sleep in an airport here years ago because the Venezuelan airline overbooked the plane by 50 people. and we got pickpocketed. but it had beautiful beaches, a wonderful atmosphere, and the best barbequed chicken i have ever tasted. It definately had its touristy places, but it was still possible to find places off the beaten path.
