I have been fishing (primarily bone fishing) in Los Roques a couple of times. (They are islands 80 miles north of Caracas in the Caribbean) - I would be there in 4 weeks for 3 rd time, but changed plans due to current circumstances. Now I was good a Geography 50 years ago - In those days had never never heard of them. There are better than any UK/USA caribbean islands (bean to some of them to watch Cricket, early 80's) - LOS ROQUES ABSOLUTELY IDYLLIC. I normally go for two weeks, but at weekends the private planes fly in and crowd the airport - short runway. There is money there. There is, one of the outlying islands with its 'overgrown" own runway. Lord knows what that's for!!
Venezuela is a complicated place. I would go in a few weeks if I thought I could get through the two nights on the mainland, which I can't at present, booked again for 2020.
