Venezuela surf spot guide
On this page: | Surf spots / regions | Venezuela Surf Travel Forum
Location: Northern South America, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, between Colombia and Guyana
Coordinates: 8 00 N, 66 00 W
Coastline: 2,800 km
Language: Spanish (official), numerous indigenous dialects
Safety: The 1,000-mile (1,609km) long border between Venezuela and Colombia is notorious for the risk of violence, kidnapping, smuggling and drug trafficking. Visitors should give the border region a wide berth. Foreign nationals have also been kidnapped for ransom or violently mugged in Caracas and visitors should be alert to this threat in hotels, taxis and, in particular, the airport. Street crime is high in Caracas and other cities, and foreigners should be particularly cautious at night. Passengers have been robbed at gunpoint by bogus taxi-drivers at Caracas airport; it is best not to accept offers of assistance within the arrivals hall, only at the official taxi rank directly outside. Only licensed taxis bearing a clearly identifiable number should be used.
Communications: The international country code for Venezuela is +58 and the outgoing code is 00. City codes are also required (Caracas 212). Mobile telephone GSM networks cover Caracas but are sparse outside of the city. Internet cafes are available in Caracas and tourist resorts.
Climate : Venezuela has a tropical climate influenced by altitude. The country has four climatic zones. (1.) The Tierra Caliente comprising the coastal plains, valleys and central prairies with an elevation less than 800 metres (2,625 feet) and temperatures averaging 25 to 35 degrees Celsius (76 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit). (2.) The Tierra Templada which comprises the lower mountain slopes and plateaux between 800 metres and 2,000 metres (2,625 to 6,562 feet) with temperatures averaging 10 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius (50 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). (3.)
