Hello adventurous friends! Venezuela is known for being one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but in the last decade internal politics led the country to plunge into chaos and the crime rate rose to the point of becoming one of the most dangerous in the south. America, the question is... Currently two Europeans can travel for tourism? Have you already read about Maracaibo? How dangerous is Venezuela today? what is the cost? We are going to answer these questions in my posts! enjoy the first post!🍍🧭🤯🥩

Adventure time!🧭🌍/Hora de la aventura!🚩
And our adventure begins at the Tocumen Airport and to get to Venezuela I made a stopover in Panama, which by the way I recommend the previous post to learn about the Central American country! I mentioned before that from Portugal to Maracaibo it was 1,500 dollars for two people, from Panama to Maracaibo it is 1.40 hours, a relatively comfortable and fast flight, and it didn't take long for them to give us this candy made with green banana called (Platanito), typical of South America. !🧭🍍🌏
Y nuestra aventura comienza en el Aeropuerto de Tocumen y es que para llegar a Venezuela hice una escala en Panama que por cierto te recomiendo el post anterior para aprender sobre el pais centro americano! antes mencionaba que desde Portugal hasta Maracaibo fueron 1500 dolares para dos personas, desde Panama a Maracaibo son 1.40 horas un vuelo relativamente comodo y rapido, y no demoro mucho para que nos diesen esta chucheria realizado con platano verde llamado (Platanito) tipico de sur america!🚌🚩🛬
La Chinita International Airport🧭🌍/La Chinita International Airport🚩
Some curious things when we arrived at the airport! The plane was full, however, there were only 5 tourists, the rest were Venezuelans. When we got off the plane, we went directly to an immigration line for tourists. They asked us the typical questions: 1. What are you coming to do in Maracaibo? How do I have a house here? They didn't bother much or ask for proof of Hotel, 2. How long are they going to stay? we responded a week! the reason of the visit? 3. Business and tourism 4. They asked us for information about where we would stay and my phone number Portuguese! ready... We were treated very kindly, a soldier told us: are you coming to visit? I speak Spanish and I answered yes, then he jokingly replied: "They came to Alaska." Another curious fact when we leave the airport we feel the "power of heat" hahaha🌏🍍🧭😎
Algunas cosas curiosas cuando llegamos al aeropuerto! el avion estaba lleno sin embargo solo habiamos 5 turistas, el resto eran Venezolanos, al bajarnos del avion pasamos directamente a una fila de migracion para turistas, nos hicieron las preguntas tipicas 1. Que vienen hacer a Maracaibo?, como yo tengo una casa aqui no molestaron mucho ni pidieron comprobante de Hotel, 2. cuanto tiempo se van a quedar? respondimos una semana! motivo de la visita? 3. Negocios y turismo 4. Nos pidieron los datos de donde nos quedariamos y mi telefono Portugues! listo... Fuimos tratados muy amables un militar nos dice: que vienen de visita? yo hablo Español y le respondi que si entonces en forma de broma me responde: "Vinieron a Alaska". Otro dato curioso al salir del aire del aeropuerto sentimos el "poder del calor" jajajja🛬🏦
We're very hungry!🧭🍹🥩🌍/Tenemos mucha hambre!🚩
Normally in Venezuela they recommend that we go with someone so that they can take us to places of interest and feel more protected! I have friends from all over the world thanks to my profession and of course in Venezuela I took some Ornithology courses so I have many friends, I was accompanied, when we left the airport we were without lunch and Marwin my friend told me that he would take me to a place that They sell the best meat in Maracaibo and it was very close to the airport, it is called: "Garcia's stable" here you get it: (10.597637, -71.697511), renting a vehicle in Maracaibo is too expensive paying 500 dollars per week, so pay the My friend's meals were the least I could do and save money!🧭🍍🌏🤑
Normalmente a Venezuela nos recomiendan andar con alguien para que nos lleven a los sitios de interes y sentirnos mas protegidos! yo tengo amigos por todos lados del mundo gracias a mi profesion y claro en Venezuela hice unos cursos de Ornitologia asi que tengo muchos amigos, estaba acompañado, al salir del aeropuerto estabamos sin almorzar y Marwin mi amigo me dice que me llevara a un sitio que venden la mejor carne de Maracaibo y estaba muy cerca del aeropuerto se llama: "El establo de Garcia" aqui lo consigues: (10.597637, -71.697511), alquilar un vehiculo en Maracaibo es demasiado costoso pagando 500 dolar por semana, por eso pagar las comidas de mi amigo era lo menos que podia hacer y asi ahorrar dinero!⛲🥘🧆
Upon entering the "Establo de Garcia" we first noticed that it is set in an old style of those from cowboy movies or something similar, I just noticed that there are many loose animals there such as turtles, peacocks, macaws and parrots of different species, usually in In Portugal we do not see Macaws on the loose, on the contrary they are too expensive, my wife was impressed by the variety of tropical animals that were on the ranch! And well, it has air conditioning which is very appreciated because it was about 45 degrees I think and I'll show you with a thermometer later!🍗🧭🌏
Al entrar al "Establo Rancho de Garcia" primero notamos que esta ambientado con un estilo antiguo de aquellos de peliculas de vaqueros o algo parecido, recien note que hay muchos animales sueltos como tortugas, pavo reales, guacamayas y loros de diferentes especies, normalmente en Portugal no vemos Guacamayas sueltas por el contraria son demasiado costosas, mi esposa quedo impresionada por la variedad de animales tropicales que habian en el rancho! y bueno tiene aire acondicionado que es muy apreciado pues hacia unos 45 grados creo y ya te muestro con un termometro mas adelante! 🥩🍍🚙
Cost of a Top restaurant in Maracaibo?🧭🍹🥩🌍/Costo de un restaurante Top en Maracaibo?¿🚩
Marwin told me that the "Establo de Garcia" could be considered an expensive lunch compared to the fast food that abounds everywhere in Maracaibo! In Portugal a dish can cost 25-30 euros per person, but today with the tip you pay 35 dollars for the four of you! cheap right? There I realized that the food in Maracaibo is quite cheap, they served us meat and pork, the cut was top end! "yuca, papitas, arepa dulce" all typical of Venezuela and Maracaibo! to drink a jug of "papelon", another typical Maracaibo drink that is sugar cane in the form of a paste with lemon!🥘🥩
Marwin me comentaba que el "Establo de Garcia" podria considerarse un almuerzo costoso en comparacion con la comida rapida que en Maracaibo abunda por todos lados! en Portugal un plato puede costar 25-30euros por persona en cambio hoy con la propina pague 35 dolar para los cuatro! barato no? alli me di cuenta que la comida en Maracaibo es bastante barata, nos sirvieron carne y puerco el corte era punta trasera! "yuca, papitas, arepa dulce" todas tipicas de Venezuela y Maracaibo! para beber una jarra de "papelon" otra bebida tipica de Maracaibo que es caña de azucar en forma de pasta con limon! 🥟🍤
Unique experiences🧭🍹🥩🌍/Experiencias unica🚩
It's not every day we have the opportunity to admire and photograph a beautiful bird like this, right? Well, thanks to the restaurant and the manager who was very nice to us, showed us several of his animals! haha as you can see my wife was scared to death hahaha🦩😎👩🦰
No todos los dias tenemos la oportunidad de admirar y fotografiar una hermosa ave como esta verdad? bueno gracias al restaurante y el encargado que fue muy agradable con nosotros nos mostro varios de sus animales! jaja como puedes ver mi esposa estaba muerta de miedo jajaja🦜🦜🦜
Visit Mirador del Lago🧭🍹🥩🌍/Visita Mirador del Lago🚩
Here ends my first day in Maracaibo and Marwin took me to visit the monument "Mirador del lago" which is a specific viewpoint with an elevator in the center to which we paid 3 dollars to go up and admire the beautiful side of the night city, I read that it was one or the largest viewpoint in South America, here I was a little disappointed because I paid 6 dollars between my wife and I and when we got to the top... Nobody explained anything to us, they didn't welcome us... Strange thing because they have a bar and they need to attract the customer to spend! In short, we enjoyed the experience!
Aqui termina mi primer dia en Maracaibo y es que Marwin me llevo a visitar el monumento "Mirador del lago" que es un mirador en concreto con un elevador en el centro el cual pagamos 3 dolares para subir y admirar el lado hermoso de la ciudad nocturna, lei que era uno o el mirador mas grande de sur america, aqui me quede un poco decepcionado porque pague 6dolar entre mi esposa y yo y cuando llegamos arriba... Nadie nos explico nada, no nos recibieron... Cosa extraña porque tienen un bar y necesitan atraer el cliente para gastar! en fin disfrutamos la experiencia!

Safety and night food?🧭🌍/Seguridad y comida nocturna?🚩
Another interesting question: how safe is Maracaibo at night? Let me tell you that I saw police everywhere, in the streets, on the corners, in tourist attractions! I even called my wife strange, right? Going out to eat in Maracaibo at night is safe, clearly you have to go to places where there are many restaurants, they do not recommend going to neighborhoods or walking alone through the dark streets! Something I saw was that many businesses were closed I imagine due to the economic situation, however a lot of people eating on the street!😎🏦🤯
Otra pregunta interesante que tan segura es Maracaibo de noche? dejame decirte que vi policias por todos lados, en las calles, en las esquinas, en los sitios de interes turisticos! hasta le decia a mi mujer raro no? salir a comer en Maracaibo de noche es segura, claramente tienes que ir a los sitios donde hay muchos locales, no recomiendan ir a barrios o andar solo por las calles oscuras! algo que vi es que muchos negocios estaban cerrados imagino por la situacion economica sin embargo muchisima gente comiendo en la calle! ❌🛑💯
The street food in Maracaibo is too cheap and exaggeratedly big hahaha! For example, I spent 20 dollars for four people, here you see some of the typical foods of the city of Marabina, starting with the hotdog, which has a more American influence than anything else but adapted to be a high-calorie bomb, xD then we have the "tequeños and the pastelitos" are cheese rolls with flour, and lastly my favorite is the "patacon" which they make with green or yellow bananas, it is normally served like this with shredded meat, God!!!! soooooo good! They say that Maracaibo is the gastronomic capital of Venezuela for its great variety of dishes!🥟🍮🍺🥧
La comida callejera en Maracaibo es demasiada barata y exageradamente grande jajaja! por ejemplo gaste 20 dolar para cuatro personas, aqui ves alguna de las comidas tipicas de la ciudad Marabina comenzando por el hotdog, que bueno tiene una influencia mas americana que otra cosa pero adaptada para ser una bomba hipercalorica, xD luego tenemos los "tequeños y los pastelitos" son rollitos de queso con harina, y por ultimo mi favorito el "patacon" el cual lo hacen con platano verde o amarillo normalmente se sirve asi con carne esmechada, Dios!!!! que buenooooooo! dicen que Maracaibo es la capital de la gastronomia de Venezuela por su gran variedad de platos! 🌭🍟🍔
