    birding in venezuela with Caiman tours Situation has changed somewhat. Depends on how many/what birds you want to/need to get. Some areas/special birds are pretty much impossible to get without a guide. People are queueing for basic food supplies (and petrol) in some areas and police/army...

You dont really need a 4WD and if you do happen to need one for the odd day...
