"I also hitched from Puerto Ordaz down to Santa Elena in Edo Bolívar. In the first day, I got as far as Tumeremo, including an amazing ride with some firemen who kept feeding me beer! The second day, I managed to get into La Gran Sabana, including catching the bus (Expreso Los Llanos) at Km 88 without paying. Once in La Sabana, it was trickier, but I think that was partially cos of the long, straight roads which invite speeding and also cos it was during the Carnavales (mid Feb) so all the transport was families with 4x4s full of camping gear. In the end, a Colombian guy took pity on me and gave me a ride in order to lecture me on personal hygiene."
"In 2011 two friends and I crossed all of Venezuela hitch-hiking from Boa Vista in Brazil to Cucuta in Colombia. We got quite a few rides in trucks (some times all three of us and the trucker on two seats at the front of a small truck cabin!), and a lot in the back of pick-up trucks. If it hadn't been for the incredibly poor roads and the awkward positions we were forced to endure them in it would really have been perfect hitch-hiking conditions!"
