If you ever fly into Maracaibo, or anywhere in Venezuela for that matter, ensure you have plenty of time to spare. Unlike the customs in most countries, they will manually inspect every bag, of every passenger getting off the plane. On the way out, is the same. I arrived 3 hours early, and it almost took me that long to get in the plane. They will inspect every bag more than once. They will also ask you many questions about whether or not you have something to declare. All this is done by armed National Guard soldiers. A little intimidating to say the least.

Either way, Venezuela is a beautiful country. I recommend it to anyone, just ensure you either know Spanish, or have someone with you who does. Oh, and make sure you have all your paperwork in order.

That is all.
