Venezuela is one of the most beautiful tropical countries on the
Northern coast of South America. It has a fascinating history
that started with the Spanish colonization of 1522. It declared
its independence on 1811, being the first former Spanish colony
to make such a brave step and declare independence. Venezuela
has seen both democratic and communist regimes. This mix is
reflected in the attitude of the people, in the architecture and
in the economic state of the country. Venezuela is the starting
point for the famous Bolivarian revolution. In the early days,
Venezuela was named 'Little Venice' and it produced some famous
personalities like Simon Bolivar, Francisco de Miranda and Hugo
Chavez. Venezuela was discovered by the men that were sailing
with the famous Christopher Columbus in 1498. They discovered
the Margarita Island and were able to see the mouth of the
Orinoco River. Unfortunately, they had to abandon their
expedition and return home because Columbus has gotten ill.
Venezuela had its fair share
