Travel tips
Bring cash (U.S. dollars preferably) and profit from black market exchange rates.
You could loose money if you do differently. Change dollars or Euro into Bolivars (bolos) and bargain your deal. Make sure that the price in bolivares reflects the one in dollar if you pay in bolo.

Official rate: 1 U.S. dollar = 2015 bolivars

Black market rate: 1 U.S. dollar ~ 4300 bolivars
