Venezuela is located in northern South America and is bordered by Columbia, Guyana and Brazil. The geography of Venezuela is diverse with the towering Andes Mountains to the west, the tropical Amazon Basin in the south, vast central plains and the Caribbean coast to the east.
When Christopher Columbus landed on the Venezuelan coast in 1498, he was overwhelmed by its richness, beauty and mild climate. Climates variy with elevation and the lowlands are humid, but with a bearable average temperature of 85 degrees, whereas the higher ground receives snowfall and the year around average may be 50 degrees.
Venezuela has been the choice of many seeking to live overseas and there is a large population of expatriates, winter visitors and retirees. Communities of French, German, Portuguese and Italians can be found and there are smaller sections of residents from the USA and the UK.
The cost of living is a bargain for those with pensions and retirement benefits, housing costs are moderate, utilities cheap, food plentiful and delicious and there are activities and attractions everywhere. Most prefer to live along the coast or on one of several offshore islands, but wherever you choose, Venezuela is a land of plenty.What’s 1 more click?
