One night as I was returning to my hostel in Santa Marta, Colombia, I ran into a group of guys from Ireland who had just arrived from Venezuela. “How’d you guys like it?” I asked.<\/p>\n

“It’s a very beautiful country,” one of the guys responded. “Just avoid Caracas. I never want to go back there again in my life.” This is the kind of the statement I’d been hearing before from people who’ve been, which probably accounts for why so few people make it to the rest of the country to see some of the most beautiful sights in the world.<\/p>\n
