Hi,

I am visiting Maracay for a week over xmas.
Has anyone been before. Looking advice on things like crime, and safety, cost of living, the weather, the political protests and the dengue and chunky guys fevers.

Many thanks

Hi Peter!, I lived in Maracay for many years and I don麓t consider it to be an extremely dangerous place but I would avoid going out late at night alone and don麓t display expensive stuff or US dollars or euros at public. Well I think those are one of the most important things to know to be as safety as possible in any venezuelan city. By the way, are you planning to live here?, I麓m just curious聽

Regarding dengue and chikungunya fever, well I麓m 35 and had dengue once, chikungunya not so far, I hope I remain like this lol...anyway if you had high fever while you are here just avoid any medication different than Atamel (acetaminof茅n) as this is the only medication allowed to be taken for both dengue and chikungunya, drink plenty of liquids and of course go to a hospital聽

Thanks Geamant, I wont be carrying anything valuable and wont be displaying foreign currency. Im coming for a holiday to visit Choroni and Cayo Somberero.

Is it safe to go to bars / nightclubs in Maracay?

Thanks again
