**Tourist Attractions and Information**

__Climates and Seasons__ Venezuela's warm climates are only one of the many reasons you may want to visit this tropical destination. Tropical wet and dry is warm all year round and has distinct rainy and dry seasons. May through December are usually the wettest months in Venezuela. January through April are typically very dry months. This is why we recommend planning your visit between December and April. However, any time is a great time to visit Venezuela!

__Passports and Visas__ Before you book your Venezuelan adventure, you might want to make sure you get a few things taken care of. In order to enter Venezuela, there are a few requirements. You will be needing a valid passport and a Tourist Entry Card, which is obtainable free of charge for one entry. A visa is not required, as long as your Tourist Entry Card has been completed. Your passport will need to be valid for at least six months after your date of arrival and must be in good condition. Make sure you keep enough cash to pay a small exit fee of 92 Venezuelan Bolivars, or 42.90 U.S. Dollars. Also, make sure you are prepared to pay the airport fee of 115 Venezuelan Bolivars, or 97 U.S. Dollars. When you have met all these requirements, then you are ready to experience the the thrill of Venezuela! 

__Health Precautions__ When planning your relaxing vacation to Venezuela, you will remain healthy as long as you take a few precautions before leaving home. There are no requirements, only strong suggestions. If you will be traveling outside the main cities in Venezuela, we advise that you get vaccinated for yellow fever, hepatitis A, and typhoid. Some airlines may require you get a yellow fever vaccination and will ask for your vaccination certificate. Check with your airline before boarding. You may also have the risk of malaria. You should seek medical advice at least three weeks prior to your trip. Bug spray or other insect protection measures are vital at all times in Venezuela. Conveniently, hospitals offer free emergency treatment fees in case anything should happen during your stay. Do not drink water from any rivers or streams, because this could increase your risk of malaria. Most likely, you will not encounter any health risks or issues in Venezuela, but you can never be too careful! __Trip Costs__ Finding a reasonably priced flight is always tricky. However, Copa Airlines has great deals. If you fly on our schedule, you would be leaving from Washington D.C.'s Dulles Airport on the first of March in 2010 at 5:37 A.M., meaning you would probably need to get there at around 3:30. It would be a long 16 hour and 49 minute flight, but it's well worth it. You would have a layover in Panama City at Tocumen International, arriving at 11:26 P.M., where your rental car would be waiting for you. Returning, you would leave on March 10th, 2010 at 12:02 P.M. After a 12 hour and 49 minute flight and layovers at the Jose Maria Cordova International in Medelin and Tocumen International in Panama City, you would arrive back at Washington D.C.'s Dulles Airport at 11:51 P.M. This flight would be 2060 miles (or 3320 kilometers) one way, for a total of 4120 miles (or 6640 kilometers), so you'll be racking up your frequent flier miles

We know you are excited to book your vacation, but you're going to need a hotel first. Staying at the JW Marriott Hotel in Caracas is a great choice that we strongly recommend. It is an staggering 17 stories high and comes with free pool access! For a deluxe room, which you are going to want after your 16 hour and 49 minute flight, and the price of your air transportation, your total will be a great deal at $5,650.94 (tax included!). This cost not only includes your high-class hotel and two-way flight, but also covers your service fees and transportation to the airport! To get everywhere else, you're going to need to rent a car. Dollar is a car rental company with great deals, such as the one we have chosen for your trip. For an economy car, it is only 86 American dollars a day, 184.66 Venezuelan Bolivar. The whole trip would cost you 6,426.94 American dollars (13,817.92 Venezuelan Bolivar), a great deal for a whole vacation package!! __Attractions__ There are so many fantastic places to visit in Venezuela! Angel Falls is among the most beautiful places in this great country. Falling from an astounding 3,212 feet, or 779 meters, it is the highest waterfall in the world.
