Lonely Planet Venezuela

5th edition of the bestselling guide to Venezuela - an adventurer's paradise

Get drenched by nearly 1 km of cascading water beneath the world's highest waterfall. Sink your toes into sugar-white sands on an uninhabited island in Archipiélago Los Roques. Crunch on chocolate-coated hormigas culonas - deep-fried Amazonian ants with big, juicy rear ends. Hear howler monkeys roar as you cruise the wildlife-rich channels of the Delta del Orinoco. Five authors, 187 days of in-country research, 495 arepas, 52 detailed maps, one paragliding accident.
