You may wonder why this video took me so long to upload - The reason is that I have been having serious problems with the internet in Latin America, I have literally been trying to get the video up for the past 2 weeks with many fails even after sometimes reaching 67% over the space of 4 days and then crashing and having to restart over and over again, but here it is finally!

Twenty years ago I went to work for a company that built cranes for a company that built automated warehouses and the client wanted a complete set of CAD files. It would have taken eight hours to transfer the zipped file via email (which would probably fail part way through) so instead they loaded everything on a laptop and had me drive about two hours to the clients HQ were we used cables to transfer the files which took the better part of a day. I feel your pain. We take our faster internet, FTP sites and huge thumb drives for granted these days. Not all of the world is so lucky.
Hi, I am a Venezuelan living in Australia, I haven't been in my country for over 5 years and I just want to say thank you for making this videos. You are not just showing Venezuela to the world but your are showing it to me and it brings so many memories, it feels surreal to feel so close just by watching your videos. Thank you are doing a great job and the way you are showing things is quite fantastic.

Really enjoying this series! I lived in Caracas and worked in Petare in the mid-90s. It was extremely dangerous even then, and hearing nearby gunfire was something that happened 20 to 30 times per day at least. Murders took place daily and it was a perpetual game of hide and seek with the malandros as you constantly had to vary your route and be unpredictable to avoid becoming a victim. Going into that area now takes legitimate manberries and I was very happy to see that the Venezuelan spirit is alive and well with people doing good things to help each other "salir pa'lante." Que viva Venezuela - and thank you for giving everyone a current view.
Lenny! You're a rockstar. Thanks so much for showing Nick and us around. I hope you see many more customers and friends from your work here and no trouble whatsoever from the authorities.

Most of the RUclipsr are showing good side or bad side of the country they visit, but in my point of view you are the only one who trying to show 360 view of the country and that is the thing I linked most. That's why I shared your videos with my friends. Thanks Nick... Keep it up. 👍
Hi Nick, thanks for your videos. I'm from Venezuela and feels great to see how you expose the real situation to the world. Look after yourself and keep it up 👍
As you can say that Cuba remains frozen in the 50’s... this video is a real proof that socialism left Venezuela frozen in -let’s say- the decade of 2000’s
what lenny said about you seeing places of caracas that people that have lived there their whole lives have never seen is completely true. i lived there for 15 years and i never went to plaza bolívar, or the parliament, and never got into the metro. thank you for taking such a big risk and showing the raw reality of my country!
I was born in the interior of the country near Ciudad Guayana, in Bolivar state. I'm 51 now and left the country in 1978 when I was 10. I've been back to visit three times but not since 1993 before Chavez took over. This is what I take from these videos: On the one hand it's great to see old familiar haunts in Caracas. It's been so long, so it's wonderful to see familiar areas of the city where our family used to frequent. On the other hand, the city looks deserted in comparison to what I remember. Less people milling about, definitely less traffic, noise, and even pollution. I see how the traffic flows easily now through the streets, yet when I was young the noise levels were so high from all the people and motor bikes, cars, buses and "carritos por puestos" (vans that transport people). Also, there used to be more street vendors everywhere, which surprises me since I'd figure people would be scrounging to earn a living however they could nowadays. And of course, the shops were always stocked with all kinds of items just as you'd see in any other country. The shops you've shown seem rather sterile where only the few who can afford to buy there bother entering. It wasn't like that before. Caracas used to be an extremely vibrant city, and even though there was ALWAYS a level of criminality like in so many other places in South America and across the world, it was never like you see it now in this video, where the people seem depressed and you never feel safe no matter where you go. On the plus side, there are many trees. The colonial architecture with the many plazas invites people to gather to while away the time, even if not as safe as before. And the less traffic means the streets and freeways flow much easier. Caracas used to be known for its horrible traffic jams. Maybe the metro subway system has helped with that. And of course, the views across the city remain spectacular as always. Pico Avila, which overlooks the valley, has always held a poetic place in the imagination of venzolanos and is a great place to take the teleferico (cable car) up to appreciate the views. Gracias for taking the time to visit my old country and showing us what you've found so far. Cuidate! / Keep safe....
There is piece of info that is of no use to anyone at this point....lol,,,Don;t mean to sound like that but it really is sad to see this and to know that one man can destroy the life of millions while the world and organisations like the UN just sit back and do nothing, all in the name of their version of protocol and international laws......This proves that whether we want to believe it or not there is absolutely no justice in this world..... Everyone is vunerable and at the mercy of their respective demonic politicians and leaders....Whether it's democracy of communist or you live in the damn amazon it really doesn't make a difference....If they feel to create a virus to wipe us all out in the morning they can do it....In the snap of a finger....No matter where we live we could never take whatever little freedom and comfort we enjoy today for granted, it can dissappear in the morning .....
Thank you for sharing...I left Caracas in 1979.. the country was experiencing a huge economic boom due to oil sales ... What you saw is not event the shadow of what the city used to be .... God bless Nick
OMG THAT AREA IS WAY TOO DANGEROUS! I'm in shock you were able to film. Thank you for making this series! It has been a lot of work but definately worth it!
I found Lenny's Instagram through from watching your videos. I follow a lot of street photographers. I have to say, Lenny is in the top 5 in my opinion. He has some amazing photos.
Thank you for doing this series. RUclips suggested your Venezuela series as I'm from Venezuela and I'm constantly watching the news on youtube (which is where journalists can speak freely as there is no real "free media" inside Venezuela). I've also watched some of your other journeys and they're really eye opening. Please keep on travelling and being honest and kind.
Hector Cruz So what is Lenny doing that is keeping the camera guy from being rob ? Lenny is only one guy. If it was two guys , I understand. Anyone have an idea ? Does Lenny have a gun on him ?
I'm a Venezuelan girl living in Bogotá-Colombia, thanks for show to the world our reality. Now, I'm waiting for a phone call from my sis...more than 72 hours without electricity
There is a palpable tension that I cannot exactly pinpoint in this Venezuela series. Of a kind that wasn’t conveyed in your Egypt or even Iran series. I get the feeling while watching these scenes, that in two or three decades they will be like video time capsules of a moment stuck in history.
Imagine living that tension, uncertainty, fear, all day very single day of your life, it´s soul breaking, and it´s even worse outside of the capital, I´m crurrently living in Venezuela.
actually its not like that, im not rich tho. I mean, if you live in a slum yeah, the tension is bigger but if u don't, u just have to deal with the management of ur salary and that's it
This guy is a living legend. He Went to Venezuela and made a positive impact when posted a #GoFundMe which generated hundreds of dollars for the kids. God bless this man. The man went to North Korea and survived 😀
This Channel and Bald and Bankrupt are the only ones I need on this platform, editing skills and production is way up here, way better than VICE! Keep it up! I gladly wait for good productions like this!
I would add Karl Rock, another Kiwi who lives in India, and Kyle Jennerman (of Becoming Filipino channel), a Canadian who lives in the Philippines. Both guys give a totally objective view of their respective new country.
Many thanks Nick, I have enjoyed you're journey around Caracas. Its been both an eye opener and educational and I hope the Venezuelan people can end this horror sometime soon.
@Nic Ted The Venezuelan people don’t mind the Socialism and are in love with Madura. If they like that system so much I can care less for such people. They voted for Socialism and that’s what they get now. I used to live in that system back in the 70’s and 80’s Communist Romania and it was crap!
Thank you for brining different parts of the world to us that never traveled much. I enjoy your videos more and more. They are really like a short documentaries. Love the music you choose. Be safe on your travels. 💙
BIG Shout Out to your Very Patient Guide and protector, Lenny , definitely a can do man . Take care , and Thank you . Lets Hope the people can move forward sooner, way sooner .
My city! I was born here, I miss it (the good memories) I moved out years ago due to the bad situation in the country. Thank you for sharing this videos! One way to visit my city again!
Lenny, I hope you are ok🥺 if someone hurts him we know why... he just speaks the truth. thank u Lenny for contributing to indigo’s vlog and helping show what Venezuela really is❤️
Nick , you highlighted Avenida Urdaneta. I stayed in Hotel Veroes on that street in 1977 when i visited Caracas for the first time as a teenager. Lots of memories from those days. Saturday Night Fever just came out and i bought one of the movie posters right there; i still have it. I remember in 1991 , i needed a visa to visit Venezuela. A few years ago i visited the world famous Angel Falls (Salto Angel). Lots of fantastic memories of Venezuela !
It appears that those with access to US Dollars can survive, but the average Venezuelan is not so lucky, and is in more dire straights. People want normalcy, but don’t want to show chaos and panic. The crime and injustice is vast, but not easy to show on a quick video. Be safe.
Michael Coddington As a Venezuelan I can tell you that is exactly the case. People that whose income is in US can live, while stilk enduring their typical blackout, lack of running water or internet connect as well as being careful for the insecurity. But those who earn in bolivares are typically making less than $20 a month with a college degree, totally unlivable.
Rafael Sanchez I’m sorry to see your country in such disrepair. You will rise up like the Phoenix once you can shed the shackles of oppression and Maduro. I’m thinking that the Cuban visitors in Venezuela are making things much worse. You have so many talented people and amazing natural resources that you can rise up better than ever. God bless you guys.
theo nathen we know that billions of US Dollars flow to every Latin American country each year, so I’m happy for those who have access to a stable currency like the dollar. I wish you well and a revived country.
@theo nathen Exactly..its the far and fat cat (because those are the ones with money) leftists politicians and some supporters of them that are tearing my country apart.
We trade dollars. But Is not Easy to get it, you can Sell or trade something in dollars, and there's people working on internet and getting payed in dollars and saving it on PayPal or some equal
I don't know how you do it, Nick, but you always find the BEST people to show you around and you always show your audience a slice of the world that is 100% authentic in a way that almost no other channel does. I really enjoy your videos. This Venezuela series has been very exciting. You are getting very close to doing the work of a real journalist.
I love how you add little notes like "very cheap for foreigners" is the crude Truth about this country. Only people from outside can enjoy it to its full.
@@IndigoTraveller I thank you, for being so straightforward with your videos, you go and Chase the critical points of any country you visit and put it up without any filter or partiality unlike most visitors that have come here or any other country. Never change that, also your editing skills are great!
ENjoy at all? WIth that stress of getting mocked and murdered, or seeing the miserable life of its local residents, no thanks! Thousands of better places to proper enjoy life. Weatherwise looks great, though. Everybody on tee-shirs or short sleeves, blue skies, great coffee I reckon... Still doesnt level off the disadvantages of this country. Been to Mexico, but there feels and looks great in the city and outside... Fantastic people too
gotta love that Latin American wifi! but seriously we truly are spoilt in our "first world" culture. we should really appreciate the things we have more. and in this series Nick has shown us exactly that.
I like how at 16:09 how the man is working out in the makeshift outdoor gym. I’m so spoiled in a nice gym here in America. I am so spoiled! I have no excuses! Stay safe, Nick! Thank you for sharing this about Venezuela. It’s pretty brave of you to do this. ❤️ 🇻🇪 ❤️🇻🇪
This is not a makeshift gym. This a legitimate outdoor gym provided by the city. You're just an entitled asshole. Most major cities in America now have these, because previously we couldn't afford them.
The hampa pay ti the police for all kinapping robery everything and the same police gnb sebin etc they are the same shit.... They scare us n the same way...
Really loving this series of videos and I've got to say - as economically devastated as Venezuela is, those streets are way less filthy than you'd see in the average London borough. Sadiq Khan should take note!
I've been to Venezuela 4 or 5 times and love the it's people, so friendly and warm. It breaks my heart to see what is going on today. If America's young people don't change their direction, this is what America will become. So sad. . . . .
No need to be so dense. Social democracy/democratic socialism is the best way to fight inequality. The top 10 most economically equal countries are social democracies. Socialized medicine, free college education and a high minimum wage are things that are successful in every single western european nation as well as new zealand/australia. Dont forget you pay half a trillion dollars a year for the military budget which is technically socialism. The problem with venezuela is a ridiculously god awful economic model that makes zero sense and even more importantly, the country is run by corrupt thugs. But dont forget that millions of people starve to death each year and the vast majority of those people live in capitalist countries.
@@bateriasemfim1466 It depends... Social-Democracy in Latin America are very known to raise taxes exponentially until destroy the market economies. Before Hugo Chávez was elected in 1999, he said more than 100 times that he "wasn't a socialist" - and look how is it... Raise taxes so much = destroys economy (businesses close) = more unemployment = humanitarian crisis = the govt begins to monopolize the food markets for the profit of the socialist elites.
You really really need to go to Maracaibo, Venezuela's 2nd biggest city If you go there, you will see Venezuela's true crisis and the true consecuences of a corrupt goverment in a city that once was the greatest and so beautiful
when you were explaining at the end that fear you felt before arriving and how @Lenny Ruiz told you this is something Venezuelans feel living there is... SO SO TRUE! :(
Nick & Lenny, thank you both so much for this incredible look into this world, I have a very dear family member (by choice) that is from Caracas, a phenomenal young man and seeing his home like this hurts my heart for him.... He's out, but I shared this with him.
Maybe it a combination of stress and fatigue and/or running on a state of constant wariness but this experience has aged your appearance. It is clearly taking its toll on you. Stay safe!
The music She sings on the 10:08 minutes is a brazilian music called Talismã by Leandro e Leonardo. I'm brazilian and I didn't know that this music had been recorded in other country. It's awesome!
Thanks for sharing your videos and great journalism . I really enjoy watching your videos. You are a very brave man going into these dangerous countries.
Indigo, Thanks for bringing different view of the current situation that normal news won't cover. As a Venezuelan person, it is sad to see how badly the country as turned in the last 23 years. I'm surprise that you haven't encounter yet a situation that you feel the fear of most citizen has about the crime that it is always around the areas. Just to see bikers around and people watching every move that you make, its just increase the paranoid level of possible dangerous situation. I believe you have an excellent tour guide that really knows his way around and he does the best to keep you safe. Let see if you can show us the current situation on the public hospitals and CDC, the people digging for "gold" inside the guaire river, etc. That will show the real suffering of the regular people of Venezuela. Because of course you have the upper class that may be able to find most of the things that they need and have the money to pay it, but the other side is the problem. Also what about the power outages, the super low internet speed, and the availability of getting cash or the parallel market that if you have US dollar you can pay with it.
8:58 I work in that coffee shop, Artesano Cafetería, and it's kind exciting seeing u walking around the places that I always frecuent and sharing ur experiences here in Venezuela. I really appreciate that.
Thank you; excellent! I have been to Havana Cuba 4 times this year, and it looks similar. But less dangerous i'm sure. The stores look very similar. Lots of food shortages...few products available to buy. When i go, i take as much as i can to give away.
I live in Venezuela, I visit Caracas like twice or three times a year probably, and I've been having anxiety attacks while watching this series (WHICH IS AMAZING, I LOVE YOUR WORK). I was like "Dude, put that camera away in that place!" all over those videos hahahah, I'm Visiting Caracas for a few days next month and I got inspired to do some kind of vlog of my trip with my cellphone, I'm really excited about that. However, thanks for showing me and the world those parts of Caracas that I haven't visited. You're Amazing, Also, shoutouts to Lenny, I hope to meet him one day and buy him a beer!
You're the best! Seriously. I found you just searching about Venezuela in RUclips, and watching you amazing channel. No ideological, just showing the living of a country they so many people talk about but at the same time they know no little. Just waiting for more.
Brother, I am Venezuelan but I left the country a few months ago just after the first major power outage, I thank you that you have risked to show a little in what Venezuela became in recent years, this series has touched my heart a little and it has made me cry, for the terrible situation we are going through, thanks again and thanks Lenny, the man is really a Hard! I am from the interior of the country where the situation is even worst, my last experience in my hometown was a blackout of 5 days, I thank you for what you did man!
I stayed in Caracas for a couple of month in 2013, before the crisis started taking a turn for the worst (but the root causes of the crisis had already been planted). Watching your serie brings me both a sense of nostalgia, because Caracas was actually a fun place and the people were awesome, but also some sadness, as the situation has clearly deteriorated and the despair is much worst. Anyways, thanks a lot, and hope to see the rest.
Ok it's official..Lenny is AWESOME! I am from Trinidad and Tobago which is just an hour"s flight from Caracas. I have been to Venezuela back in the day when it was thriving. I am so saddened by their suffering. Many have moved to Trinidad since the crisis. Thank you for highlighting their plight.
Hi Nick, I have to say that I have enjoyed watching all your videos of Venezuela, in fact, these are the first videos from your channel which I have seen because I recently discovered you and I think you do an excellent job. I am Venezuelan and currently live in Caracas, I have to say thank you for these videos because I think you are the first, or one of the firsts I have seen here on RUclips and of course much better than the television channels which have been showing a very transparent, accurate and close information of the real situation of the country. This situation is crazy just to say that and nobody wants to live it sometime. However, as a Venezuelan, I would like you not to leave here with the idea that here is the worst place to visit or even that you would never want to come back and that is also for all your followers. It's real, now is not the best time to come, in the future it would be great if you wanted and could return with a better situation, as we all desire, because beyond that I am native of here I believe that here is one of the best places to visit around the world due to the diversity of various beautiful natural places that are here and which I suggest extremely for everyone to discover sometime. But more than that, it is because of our people, who are not the best and are not all, of course, but it is normal that you can find here a very close, friendly and warm people as I think you could have felt Nick. And that's because we are willing and open to receive people, and help them in any way regardless of the situation or if we have nothing to give, we still help them, and that's what makes Venezuela a beautiful place. Unfortunately, I too will be leaving soon and that inspired me to write to you, however, I haven't gone yet, and I want to return I rely on to keep that thought. I look forward to as a country we can learn and inspire us from the history of other countries that overcame difficult situations like these and grew very well as yours did several years ago. I'm sure it's one of the best examples to take. But the future and our actions will determine it. Finally, and I hope not to have bored you with this, I have to thank you again for your visit, and I expect you could enjoy it even with the difficulties, you are always welcome and finally, I just want to wish you continued success with this channel and your excellent work. Take care.
Nick. I discovered you're vlogs only about 2 months ago. They're so interesting and informative. It's a true adventure every time. You never disappoint. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
@@aspacelex People like you who have never been in my country, ever visited or ever meet a Venezuela spiting bullshit like if you knew anything about it are trully disgusting.

holy shit. or should I say hola shit
@Marc Jackson Sanctions are pretty new, Venezuelan socialism-triggered crisis started in 1999.
what lenny said about you seeing places of caracas that people that have lived there their whole lives have never seen is completely true. i lived there for 15 years and i never went to plaza bolívar, or the parliament, and never got into the metro. thank you for taking such a big risk and showing the raw reality of my country!
Well not being in the metro is next level sifrina...
I was born in the interior of the country near Ciudad Guayana, in Bolivar state. I'm 51 now and left the country in 1978 when I was 10. I've been back to visit three times but not since 1993 before Chavez took over. This is what I take from these videos: On the one hand it's great to see old familiar haunts in Caracas. It's been so long, so it's wonderful to see familiar areas of the city where our family used to frequent. On the other hand, the city looks deserted in comparison to what I remember. Less people milling about, definitely less traffic, noise, and even pollution. I see how the traffic flows easily now through the streets, yet when I was young the noise levels were so high from all the people and motor bikes, cars, buses and "carritos por puestos" (vans that transport people). Also, there used to be more street vendors everywhere, which surprises me since I'd figure people would be scrounging to earn a living however they could nowadays. And of course, the shops were always stocked with all kinds of items just as you'd see in any other country. The shops you've shown seem rather sterile where only the few who can afford to buy there bother entering. It wasn't like that before. Caracas used to be an extremely vibrant city, and even though there was ALWAYS a level of criminality like in so many other places in South America and across the world, it was never like you see it now in this video, where the people seem depressed and you never feel safe no matter where you go. On the plus side, there are many trees. The colonial architecture with the many plazas invites people to gather to while away the time, even if not as safe as before. And the less traffic means the streets and freeways flow much easier. Caracas used to be known for its horrible traffic jams. Maybe the metro subway system has helped with that. And of course, the views across the city remain spectacular as always. Pico Avila, which overlooks the valley, has always held a poetic place in the imagination of venzolanos and is a great place to take the teleferico (cable car) up to appreciate the views. Gracias for taking the time to visit my old country and showing us what you've found so far. Cuidate! / Keep safe....
Glad to hear you left in time. They are having more power outages again including Caracas. Praying for all who live there be safe everyone.
Yes, it is a sad situation, let us hope.
Bullshit
I really miss my Caracas now you’ve experience whats it like to live there its a mess, and i always hope to see my Venezuela again
I hope things improve soon.
Your videos are outstanding. Your guide Lenny has been invaluable to getting these done! As always, looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Donna!
Did you know..? Caracas Country Club was designed by the same architect of Central Park in New York
when Venezuela was a rich country, the Venezuelan people didn't know it
So what?
David BH it’s just a fun fact. Relax.
juan diego volcán very few people are rich. Majority were always poor. This isn’t new
There is piece of info that is of no use to anyone at this point....lol,,,Don;t mean to sound like that but it really is sad to see this and to know that one man can destroy the life of millions while the world and organisations like the UN just sit back and do nothing, all in the name of their version of protocol and international laws......This proves that whether we want to believe it or not there is absolutely no justice in this world..... Everyone is vunerable and at the mercy of their respective demonic politicians and leaders....Whether it's democracy of communist or you live in the damn amazon it really doesn't make a difference....If they feel to create a virus to wipe us all out in the morning they can do it....In the snap of a finger....No matter where we live we could never take whatever little freedom and comfort we enjoy today for granted, it can dissappear in the morning .....
This has been a great series Nick! Thanks for giving a ground level view.
Appreciate it!
grund level view from the point of view of one only venezuelan the whole video thru
Dude you're a legend. Thank you for this series and the others. Stay safe
Thank you for sharing...I left Caracas in 1979.. the country was experiencing a huge economic boom due to oil sales ... What you saw is not event the shadow of what the city used to be .... God bless Nick
I from Venezuela, every time I see a video like this, I cry 😭
Sorry to hear this :(
Por lo feo o por la situación?
OMG THAT AREA IS WAY TOO DANGEROUS! I'm in shock you were able to film. Thank you for making this series! It has been a lot of work but definately worth it!
I'm Venezuelan living abroad. I really enjoyed seeing the streets of Caracas through your videos. Thanks for sharing
I found Lenny's Instagram through from watching your videos. I follow a lot of street photographers. I have to say, Lenny is in the top 5 in my opinion. He has some amazing photos.
He is very talented indeed!
OMG how does he carry around a camera, should he be dead or kidnapped?
*sarcasm*
What is hes instagram
Most of the architecture in Caracas is absolutely dreadful, very dystopian.
True
Absolutely
Everything is abandoned and dirty
I agree their architecture is horrible
Thank you for doing this series. RUclips suggested your Venezuela series as I'm from Venezuela and I'm constantly watching the news on youtube (which is where journalists can speak freely as there is no real "free media" inside Venezuela). I've also watched some of your other journeys and they're really eye opening. Please keep on travelling and being honest and kind.
As somone who lived in Venezuela for 10 years, how tf didn't you get robbed?
Hector Cruz So what is Lenny doing that is keeping the camera guy from being rob ? Lenny is only one guy. If it was two guys , I understand. Anyone have an idea ? Does Lenny have a gun on him ?
Because its Venezuela, not Brazil.
maybe he is the Mafia boss XD
@RFT , honey, I am brazilan
Fucc u
I'm repeating myself but your "inside" - series truly is the best travel series on RUclips and I've especially loved the Venezuela edition!
I'm a Venezuelan girl living in Bogotá-Colombia, thanks for show to the world our reality. Now, I'm waiting for a phone call from my sis...more than 72 hours without electricity
You are beautiful.. are u single?? Im Dave from Germany :) maybe Facebook??

Interesting to see even though ppl are in rough shape they dress well and keep a decorum that even ppl in better conditions sometimes lack
really makes you think
yeah when you look at Americans it looks luke they are in a crisis
There is a palpable tension that I cannot exactly pinpoint in this Venezuela series. Of a kind that wasn’t conveyed in your Egypt or even Iran series. I get the feeling while watching these scenes, that in two or three decades they will be like video time capsules of a moment stuck in history.
Imagine living that tension, uncertainty, fear, all day very single day of your life, it´s soul breaking, and it´s even worse outside of the capital, I´m crurrently living in Venezuela.
actually its not like that, im not rich tho. I mean, if you live in a slum yeah, the tension is bigger but if u don't, u just have to deal with the management of ur salary and that's it
@@gustavomeza1745 what's your point pal? Being fed by the gov? Is your daddy a cop or something?

Super video, enjoying all your Venezuelan series. Keep safe.
Thanks BG!
Thank you so much for coming to venezuela and show a tiny part about what's happening here, you're amazing!
You are welcome, Andrea!
Truly sad as to what is happening to Venezuela :( Pobre Venezolanos.
I can’t tell you how much I loved this video. Thank you for having the courage of doing this!
Thanks for watching 💓
This Channel and Bald and Bankrupt are the only ones I need on this platform, editing skills and production is way up here, way better than VICE! Keep it up! I gladly wait for good productions like this!
Jens Roth soviet everything! Haha 😆
You are right. I also love Mr Bald.
Harald beats them all 👌
@@blackbrigades3869 Harold Baldr is great, very progressive.
I would add Karl Rock, another Kiwi who lives in India, and Kyle Jennerman (of Becoming Filipino channel), a Canadian who lives in the Philippines. Both guys give a totally objective view of their respective new country.
I’m from Venezuela, left when I was 5 and never been back. Thank you for showing me my homeland, I appreciate it.
You didn't visit your aunt in Venezuela?
Many thanks Nick, I have enjoyed you're journey around Caracas. Its been both an eye opener and educational and I hope the Venezuelan people can end this horror sometime soon.
Thanks Nic, more to come from outside Caracas!
@Nic Ted
The Venezuelan people don’t mind the Socialism and are in love with Madura.
If they like that system so much I can care less for such people. They voted for Socialism and that’s what they get now.
I used to live in that system back in the 70’s and 80’s Communist Romania and it was crap!
@@wethepeople7629I don't think you know what socialism is.
Your Venezuela videos (and North Korea videos for that matter) are so unbiased, the western media could take a leaf out of your book.
Our media is completely controlled not to give news but to make narratives...
Stephenleelia you’re right. It’s so sad what is happening to Venezuela. I’m from there and I can tell you that it’s getting worse everyday
@@Alfreeod really the murder rate has sunk almost 30% Last year i Heard

Cheers Morne!
Thank you for brining different parts of the world to us that never traveled much. I enjoy your videos more and more. They are really like a short documentaries. Love the music you choose.
Be safe on your travels. 💙
I'm Venezuelan and i wouldn't walk around with a camera like that, So brave!!
BIG Shout Out to your Very Patient Guide and protector, Lenny , definitely a can do man . Take care , and Thank you . Lets Hope the people can move forward sooner, way sooner .
My city! I was born here, I miss it (the good memories) I moved out years ago due to the bad situation in the country. Thank you for sharing this videos! One way to visit my city again!
Lenny, I hope you are ok🥺 if someone hurts him we know why... he just speaks the truth. thank u Lenny for contributing to indigo’s vlog and helping show what Venezuela really is❤️
Nick , you highlighted Avenida Urdaneta. I stayed in Hotel Veroes on that street in 1977 when i visited Caracas for the first time as a teenager. Lots of memories from those days. Saturday Night Fever just came out and i bought one of the movie posters right there; i still have it. I remember in 1991 , i needed a visa to visit Venezuela. A few years ago i visited the world famous Angel Falls (Salto Angel). Lots of fantastic memories of Venezuela !
It appears that those with access to US Dollars can survive, but the average Venezuelan is not so lucky, and is in more dire straights. People want normalcy, but don’t want to show chaos and panic. The crime and injustice is vast, but not easy to show on a quick video. Be safe.
Michael Coddington As a Venezuelan I can tell you that is exactly the case. People that whose income is in US can live, while stilk enduring their typical blackout, lack of running water or internet connect as well as being careful for the insecurity. But those who earn in bolivares are typically making less than $20 a month with a college degree, totally unlivable.
Rafael Sanchez I’m sorry to see your country in such disrepair. You will rise up like the Phoenix once you can shed the shackles of oppression and Maduro. I’m thinking that the Cuban visitors in Venezuela are making things much worse. You have so many talented people and amazing natural resources that you can rise up better than ever. God bless you guys.
theo nathen we know that billions of US Dollars flow to every Latin American country each year, so I’m happy for those who have access to a stable currency like the dollar. I wish you well and a revived country.
@theo nathen Exactly..its the far and fat cat (because those are the ones with money) leftists politicians and some supporters of them that are tearing my country apart.
We trade dollars. But Is not Easy to get it, you can Sell or trade something in dollars, and there's people working on internet and getting payed in dollars and saving it on PayPal or some equal
my boy lenny's street photography game is on point, let him know, if i ever go to venezuela... this is my guy.
lmao I'm dying of anxiety just by seeing you walking around those areas with your camera out... great series man!
I don't know how you do it, Nick, but you always find the BEST people to show you around and you always show your audience a slice of the world that is 100% authentic in a way that almost no other channel does. I really enjoy your videos. This Venezuela series has been very exciting. You are getting very close to doing the work of a real journalist.
This Venezuela series has been very thought provoking viewing, hats off to you for putting this material out there. Thankyou.
Thank you so much for this! I left my Caracas 2 years ago. I miss that caotic, crazy but beautiful city and my people 💔
I love how you add little notes like "very cheap for foreigners" is the crude Truth about this country. Only people from outside can enjoy it to its full.
Sadly, yes.
@@IndigoTraveller I thank you, for being so straightforward with your videos, you go and Chase the critical points of any country you visit and put it up without any filter or partiality unlike most visitors that have come here or any other country. Never change that, also your editing skills are great!
ENjoy at all? WIth that stress of getting mocked and murdered, or seeing the miserable life of its local residents, no thanks! Thousands of better places to proper enjoy life. Weatherwise looks great, though. Everybody on tee-shirs or short sleeves, blue skies, great coffee I reckon... Still doesnt level off the disadvantages of this country. Been to Mexico, but there feels and looks great in the city and outside... Fantastic people too
Qué bien que muestres cómo está mi Venezuela, no me pierdo ningún vídeo de tu serie !
gotta love that Latin American wifi! but seriously we truly are spoilt in our "first world" culture. we should really appreciate the things we have more. and in this series Nick has shown us exactly that.
Definitely!
That's exactly why it pisses me off when I hear Americans complaining. We have nothing to complain about!!
Venezuelan internet Is wack
You cannot judge a whole continent based on one country. If you think having WIFI is a culture than you obviously don’t know what’s culture.
You can''t lump all of 'Latin American wifi' together like that.
I like how at 16:09 how the man is working out in the makeshift outdoor gym. I’m so spoiled in a nice gym here in America. I am so spoiled! I have no excuses! Stay safe, Nick! Thank you for sharing this about Venezuela. It’s pretty brave of you to do this. ❤️ 🇻🇪 ❤️🇻🇪
Lo ni buenos
This is not a makeshift gym. This a legitimate outdoor gym provided by the city. You're just an entitled asshole. Most major cities in America now have these, because previously we couldn't afford them.
absolutely loving this series!!!! so incredible
Jay Palfrey well done you are first
I love this series in Venezuela. So good. Thank you so much for putting everything on the line to show your viewers the real Venezuela.
Holy fuck you went into areas that cops don't even go into , insane ... Great work dude !
I was born and raised in Maracaibo not Caracas but this was still a great watch , amazing work
The hampa pay ti the police for all kinapping robery everything and the same police gnb sebin etc they are the same shit.... They scare us n the same way...
Bro you are the best travel vlogger on youtube hands down. Thank you for the inspiration and fantastic content.
Really loving this series of videos and I've got to say - as economically devastated as Venezuela is, those streets are way less filthy than you'd see in the average London borough. Sadiq Khan should take note!
I visited Caracas and other parts of Venezuela in 1999, it was one of my best trips ever; sadly, things are not the same today.
I've been to Venezuela 4 or 5 times and love the it's people, so friendly and warm. It breaks my heart to see what is going on today. If America's young people don't change their direction, this is what America will become. So sad. . . . .
Our schools are the problem. They are basically communist recruiting camps
No need to be so dense. Social democracy/democratic socialism is the best way to fight inequality. The top 10 most economically equal countries are social democracies. Socialized medicine, free college education and a high minimum wage are things that are successful in every single western european nation as well as new zealand/australia. Dont forget you pay half a trillion dollars a year for the military budget which is technically socialism. The problem with venezuela is a ridiculously god awful economic model that makes zero sense and even more importantly, the country is run by corrupt thugs. But dont forget that millions of people starve to death each year and the vast majority of those people live in capitalist countries.
@@bateriasemfim1466 It depends... Social-Democracy in Latin America are very known to raise taxes exponentially until destroy the market economies. Before Hugo Chávez was elected in 1999, he said more than 100 times that he "wasn't a socialist" - and look how is it... Raise taxes so much = destroys economy (businesses close) = more unemployment = humanitarian crisis = the govt begins to monopolize the food markets for the profit of the socialist elites.
Thanks for coming to our country. you always welcome here and can back when you want. I imagine that you could see the kindness of venezuelan people.
You really really need to go to Maracaibo, Venezuela's 2nd biggest city
If you go there, you will see Venezuela's true crisis and the true consecuences of a corrupt goverment in a city that once was the greatest and so beautiful
when you were explaining at the end that fear you felt before arriving and how @Lenny Ruiz told you this is something Venezuelans feel living there is... SO SO TRUE! :(
Dude thank God you're alright I was getting worried. Stay Safe man.
CHeers Dave!
Thank you for show me my country, i haven't seen it since 2016 and its feel like is not the place where i grew up.
You did not go to Sabana Grande and Altamira.There one can play chess in the streets with locals.
Some are grandmaster level!
See my other videos.
Nick & Lenny, thank you both so much for this incredible look into this world, I have a very dear family member (by choice) that is from Caracas, a phenomenal young man and seeing his home like this hurts my heart for him.... He's out, but I shared this with him.
I'm so excited to watch you go to the avila, you forget all the problems when you are in that precious mountain
Would love to see it!
I had a apartment near to one of the entrances to the Avila. I used to climb it every weekend. It was beautiful, I really enjoyed it.
Thumps up as always!! Great job, Nick! Awesome editing & awesome images!!!... wow!!
Maybe it a combination of stress and fatigue and/or running on a state of constant wariness but this experience has aged your appearance. It is clearly taking its toll on you. Stay safe!
Thank you Nic for all your really great work with these vids given the dangerous circumstances 🤝
The music She sings on the 10:08 minutes is a brazilian music called Talismã by Leandro e Leonardo. I'm brazilian and I didn't know that this music had been recorded in other country. It's awesome!
Thanks for sharing your videos and great journalism . I really enjoy watching your videos. You are a very brave man going into these dangerous countries.
Indigo, Thanks for bringing different view of the current situation that normal news won't cover. As a Venezuelan person, it is sad to see how badly the country as turned in the last 23 years. I'm surprise that you haven't encounter yet a situation that you feel the fear of most citizen has about the crime that it is always around the areas. Just to see bikers around and people watching every move that you make, its just increase the paranoid level of possible dangerous situation. I believe you have an excellent tour guide that really knows his way around and he does the best to keep you safe. Let see if you can show us the current situation on the public hospitals and CDC, the people digging for "gold" inside the guaire river, etc. That will show the real suffering of the regular people of Venezuela. Because of course you have the upper class that may be able to find most of the things that they need and have the money to pay it, but the other side is the problem. Also what about the power outages, the super low internet speed, and the availability of getting cash or the parallel market that if you have US dollar you can pay with it.
8:58 I work in that coffee shop, Artesano Cafetería, and it's kind exciting seeing u walking around the places that I always frecuent and sharing ur experiences here in Venezuela. I really appreciate that.
Thank you; excellent! I have been to Havana Cuba 4 times this year, and it looks similar. But less dangerous i'm sure. The stores look very similar. Lots of food shortages...few products available to buy. When i go, i take as much as i can to give away.
I live in Venezuela, I visit Caracas like twice or three times a year probably, and I've been having anxiety attacks while watching this series (WHICH IS AMAZING, I LOVE YOUR WORK). I was like "Dude, put that camera away in that place!" all over those videos hahahah, I'm Visiting Caracas for a few days next month and I got inspired to do some kind of vlog of my trip with my cellphone, I'm really excited about that. However, thanks for showing me and the world those parts of Caracas that I haven't visited. You're Amazing, Also, shoutouts to Lenny, I hope to meet him one day and buy him a beer!
Very interesting and informatives videos on Caracas, something we do not see on our news channels here in Canada, keep up the good work !
The government in Venezuela is also chopping people's head's off that resist.
You're the best! Seriously. I found you just searching about Venezuela in RUclips, and watching you amazing channel. No ideological, just showing the living of a country they so many people talk about but at the same time they know no little.
Just waiting for more.
Salam from pakistan .allah will bless this country u will be safe there inshaallah.
Gracias Amigo

Eres increíble te felicito buen trabajo !! Gracias por ser como eres ! La realidad sin filtro
Watching this during the Covid19 pandemic and those metro trains gave me nightmares. 😂
😀
Brother, I am Venezuelan but I left the country a few months ago just after the first major power outage, I thank you that you have risked to show a little in what Venezuela became in recent years, this series has touched my heart a little and it has made me cry, for the terrible situation we are going through, thanks again and thanks Lenny, the man is really a Hard! I am from the interior of the country where the situation is even worst, my last experience in my hometown was a blackout of 5 days, I thank you for what you did man!
MAn those are some balls of steel you got while filming downtown lmao! great job Indigo, greetings from Venezuela
Nick, you read my mind!I was having withdrawal symptoms waiting for this video!😅Keep the fantastic vlogs coming!✌🇬🇧
I stayed in Caracas for a couple of month in 2013, before the crisis started taking a turn for the worst (but the root causes of the crisis had already been planted). Watching your serie brings me both a sense of nostalgia, because Caracas was actually a fun place and the people were awesome, but also some sadness, as the situation has clearly deteriorated and the despair is much worst.
Anyways, thanks a lot, and hope to see the rest.
Thank you.
Ok it's official..Lenny is AWESOME! I am from Trinidad and Tobago which is just an hour"s flight from Caracas. I have been to Venezuela back in the day when it was thriving. I am so saddened by their suffering. Many have moved to Trinidad since the crisis. Thank you for highlighting their plight.
Hi Nick, I have to say that I have enjoyed watching all your videos of Venezuela, in fact, these are the first videos from your channel which I have seen because I recently discovered you and I think you do an excellent job. I am Venezuelan and currently live in Caracas, I have to say thank you for these videos because I think you are the first, or one of the firsts I have seen here on RUclips and of course much better than the television channels which have been showing a very transparent, accurate and close information of the real situation of the country. This situation is crazy just to say that and nobody wants to live it sometime. However, as a Venezuelan, I would like you not to leave here with the idea that here is the worst place to visit or even that you would never want to come back and that is also for all your followers. It's real, now is not the best time to come, in the future it would be great if you wanted and could return with a better situation, as we all desire, because beyond that I am native of here I believe that here is one of the best places to visit around the world due to the diversity of various beautiful natural places that are here and which I suggest extremely for everyone to discover sometime. But more than that, it is because of our people, who are not the best and are not all, of course, but it is normal that you can find here a very close, friendly and warm people as I think you could have felt Nick. And that's because we are willing and open to receive people, and help them in any way regardless of the situation or if we have nothing to give, we still help them, and that's what makes Venezuela a beautiful place. Unfortunately, I too will be leaving soon and that inspired me to write to you, however, I haven't gone yet, and I want to return I rely on to keep that thought. I look forward to as a country we can learn and inspire us from the history of other countries that overcame difficult situations like these and grew very well as yours did several years ago. I'm sure it's one of the best examples to take. But the future and our actions will determine it. Finally, and I hope not to have bored you with this, I have to thank you again for your visit, and I expect you could enjoy it even with the difficulties, you are always welcome and finally, I just want to wish you continued success with this channel and your excellent work. Take care.
Nick. I discovered you're vlogs only about 2 months ago. They're so interesting and informative. It's a true adventure every time. You never disappoint. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks for posting Nick so nice to see a view that’s not CNN
