- Due to the country's ongoing economic, humanitarian, and political crisis, visitors should exercise sensitivity regarding the political climate. While local people may use descriptive terms (e.g., 'gringo') casually, they are generally not intended as insults. When seeking directions, note that the gesture of pouting lips and lifting the chin is a common local pointer, rather than a romantic gesture.
About this holiday
On January 3, 2026, a US military operation, codenamed Operation Absolute Resolve, targeted infrastructure in northern Venezuela to suppress air defenses. During this operation, President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were apprehended and transported to New York City for trial.
