Riding solo (or two bikes) into Venezuela from Columbia soon
 

Thanks for any current reports of the northern area. We were hoping to ride to Maracaibo and around the area. I'm avoiding all cities, especially Caracas, and was told San Cristobal is still not back to normal. Appreciate any and all current updates.

I drove through and stayed in most cities in VZ. No problems of any kind. I would say VZ is one of the safer places i have visited.

The only annoyance with VZ is the lack of fueling stations. Not many of the stations have diesel. If you want gasoline, no problem just wait in line for a non-trivial amount of time.

Highly recommend visiting Mochima PN. Stay at the Petite Jardin in Sante Fe

We are currently in Venezuela and its awesome and very cheap with a 100 as the exchange rate currently!!
Anyone else in Venezuela at the moment?
We came in from Santa Elena border with Brazil, all very easy, but slow... dont go through at lunch time, they close down!!
Fuel is the cheapest in the world and very friendly locals and bikers!:D

Are there any borders i should stay away from? I will cross from Brasil(Manaus -> Pacaraima) and go to Cuidad Boliviar and then somehow to Columbia.
I hope i will reache Venezuela in about 8-10 days.

Greetings Martin
