Top attractions in Venezuela

Venezuela holds Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world, the tabletop mountains of the Gran Sabana and a long Caribbean coastline. It also has one of the least stable travel environments in the region, and that shapes any realistic planning far more than the sights do.

The guides on this page cover Venezuela as a whole. The country has experienced prolonged political and economic crisis, with shortages, unreliable domestic flights and high crime rates in urban areas; many governments advise against travel to parts or all of it. Anyone considering a trip should treat current official advisories as the primary source and this material as background on what the country contains.
