DW's Joel Dullroy visited Venezuela in January 2022. He went to some of the most touristic spots of the country: from the Isla de Margarita to the town of Mérida and the national park of Morrocoy.

Venezuela’s oil-rich city crippled by ongoing crises
The once-wealthy South American country of Venezuela is in the midst of political, economic and humanitarian crises made more severe by U.S. sanctions. And Venezuela's second-largest city, Maracaibo, was at one time the jewel of its petroleum economy. But the city, along with the rest of the country, is now suffering.

En DIRECT - Suivez FRANCE 24 ici : http://f24.my/YTliveFR
Inflation, pauvreté, pénuries... Maracaibo, deuxième ville du Venezuela, présente à elle seule tous les symptômes d'un pays malade. Sous Chavez, Caracas avait tout misé sur le pétrole, mais la chute des cours a entraîné une grave crise économique. La population peine désormais à se nourrir et les pêcheurs du lac Maracaibo recourent à la contrebande pour écouler leur maigre production en Colombie voisine. Nos reporters Matthieu Delmas et Chris Huby sont partis à la rencontre des habitants.
Malgré ses réserves de pétrole parmi les plus importantes au monde, le Venezuela vit depuis trois ans la crise économique la plus violente de l'histoire du continent sud-américain. Ap...

Venezuela. How People Live in World's Most Criminal Country / Documentary @extremeletsgo
This is Venezuela, the most oil-rich country in the world. Capital of Caracas. Petare area. This bario is called the most dangerous place on the planet. On a good day, 30 people are gone here. On a bad day, more than 100. In general, an average of one person every 20 minutes.
Today I will show you a country - where everyone has a weapon and even put a it in a coffin. I'll tell you how they rob here and how much a human life costs. I will show black markets and what they sell. We will also visit the homes of ordinary Venezuelans and see how people live and in what conditions.
Let's go!

Over the last four years, its GDP has fallen 35%, which is a sharper drop than the one seen during the Great Depression in the US. The country’s murder rate has surpassed that of the most dangerous cities in the world.
These conditions have sparked months of protests against the president, Nicolas Maduro. And it’s easy to see why: the country has become measurably worse since his election in 2013.

The western city of Maracaibo used to be Venezuela's affluent oil capital. But today, it's a place of hardship and hunger. Facing hyperinflation, corruption, penniless public services, crime and chronic shortages, the city has become a symbol of the country's wider economic collapse. Eating has become a luxury. Due to a lack of medical care, the lives of children, the elderly and those with chronic diseases are slowly slipping away.

I'm stoked to have joined the Sony Alpha team (!) and I've partnered with them to GIVEAWAY 3 of their newest ZV-1 vlogging cameras. To win: follow @drewbinsky and @sonyalpha on Instagram and comment 2 sentences below on what you'd do with the camera. I'm also including a signed postcard from Venezuela and a 10,000 VZ banknote in each box. Yay!

I recently hit the streets of Caracas with my local friends Gabo and Emmanuel to see if we could exchange $100 USD for local Venezuelan Bolivares. At the time when I shot this video, $100 USD was about 170 Million Bolivares, but now at the time of posting, $100 USD is about 300 million Bolivares. The currency has depreciated by almost 100%.
We spent ALL day walking into small shops, bakeries, market vendors (etc) in Caracas and unfortunately, we were only able to exchange $62... Yes, we really did have a backpack full of cash on our backs. It was wild.
The economic crisis in Venezuela is very sad and it's hard to comprehend what's happening. And how fast it's happening. I have empathy for the people here who are suffering to make ends meet, but instead of dwelling on the situation, it's been refreshing to see many of the locals being resilient and optimistic for a brighter future. I made this video to give you a glimpse of real life on the streets of Caracas because I think it's important to give you an honest perspective. I love this city and country with all of my heart - it has the BEST food, hospitality and culture in all of South America 💛💙❤️ If you're still reading this, I want you to know that I love you and thanks for supporting my channel. I pour my blood, sweat tears into making these videos and I hope they are opening up your eyes to the world. Happy Sunday and Mother's Day -- I love you, mom!

Inflation, pauvreté, pénuries... Maracaibo, deuxième ville du Venezuela, présente à elle seule tous les symptômes d'un pays malade. Sous Chavez, Caracas avait tout misé sur le pétrole, mais la chute des cours a entraîné une grave crise économique. La population peine désormais à se nourrir et les pêcheurs du lac Maracaibo recourent à la contrebande pour écouler leur maigre production en Colombie voisine. Nos reporters Matthieu Delmas et Chris Huby sont partis à la rencontre des habitants.
Malgré ses réserves de pétrole parmi les plus importantes au monde, le Venezuela vit depuis trois ans la crise économique la plus violente de l'histoire du continent sud-américain. Après 19 ans de chavisme, le pays est au bord du gouffre.
Le président Hugo Chavez avait financé ses colossaux programmes sociaux à coup de millions de pétrodollars issus de cette manne. La conjoncture lui a été favorable jusqu'à sa mort en 2013, avec une hausse constante des cours du pétrole.
L'économie devenue folle
Le décès du leader de la révolution, auquel a succédé Nicolas Maduro, de plus en plus contesté, puis la chute des prix du pétrole ont marqué la fin de cette parenthèse. Aujourd'hui, les importateurs ne parviennent plus à se procurer les dollars nécessaires pour régler leurs commandes, les aliments importés sont devenus inaccessibles pour la population, tandis que le FMI prévoit un taux d'inflation de 13 800 % pour l'année 2018. Seule l'essence reste abordable. Pour le prix d'un paquet de farine, les habitants peuvent faire le plein de leur voiture près de 15 000 fois.
À présent, le Venezuela est un pays en ruines, dans lequel seules les tours résidentielles, protégées par des murs surplombés de barbelés, rappellent la grandeur passée. Entre une inflation hors de contrôle, les pénuries, la faim et l'insécurité, 2 millions de vénézuéliens ont déjà pris la route de l'exil. Colombie, Chili et Argentine sont les premières destinations de ces exilés de la révolution bolivarienne.

This is Venezuela, the most oil-rich country in the world. Capital of Caracas. Petare area. This bario is called the most dangerous place on the planet. On a good day, 30 people are gone here. On a bad day, more than 100. In general, an average of one person every 20 minutes.
Today I will show you a country - where everyone has a weapon and even put a it in a coffin. I'll tell you how they rob here and how much a human life costs. I will show black markets and what they sell. We will also visit the homes of ordinary Venezuelans and see how people live and in what conditions.
Let's go!
