  • South America ↗Above 2,500 m (Bogotá, Quito, Cusco, La Paz) keep the first day light; sleep lower where you can (Sacred Valley before Cusco) and descend if headache comes with vomiting or confusion.
  • South America ↗A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival in French Guiana, and asked for on some routes into Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname and Guyana, or when arriving from Amazon areas — vaccinate at least 10 days before travel and carry the card.
  • South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
  • Venezuela ↗Check your own government travel advice for Venezuela before any booking; advice depends on your passport and changes without notice.
  • Venezuela ↗Entry rules depend on your passport and how you arrive (air or land); confirm with a Venezuelan embassy or consulate and your airline before booking.
  • Venezuela ↗Confirm that your travel insurance and medical evacuation cover apply to Venezuela before you rely on it.
  • Caracas and the central coast ↗Plan every road leg in this region for daylight: the coastal highway and the tunnels up to Caracas are the busiest and least safe after dark.
  • Caracas ↗Between clusters use a driver arranged by your hotel or a reputable operator, agreed in advance; do not hail street taxis, do not walk from one cluster to the next and do not use the Maiquetía road after dark.
  • Caracas ↗Keep phones, cameras and jewellery out of sight on the street; take only the cash you need for the morning.
