It has a Mix of Cultures
Because of its location and its history, Venezuelan culture is a melting pot, with people hailing from Spain, Italy, Africa and even America. You’ll hear mostly Spanish, but don’t be surprised to also hear locals speaking German, Italian or even Arabic. And let’s not forget the indigenous dialects that also remain a part of Venezuelan culture.
It is Rich in Culinary Traditions
While currently certain food and supplies are hard to come by or very expensive in Venezuela, the traditional culinary delicacies of this country are delicious and must be tried in your lifetime. According to the food-obsessed pros at Thrillist, “with influences ranging from Caribbean to African and European and varying state-by-state, Venezuelan cuisine has a focus on taking simple, readily available ingredients like corn, plantains, and meats and transforming them into some of the most unique and delicious flavors out there.”
