In Santa-Elena de Uairen, near the Brazilian border it is very easy and safe to change Brazilian Reals on the street. Look for people wearing red shirts, they will change your Reals, Euros or Dollars.
In Caracas it is much harder to change Reals and you will get a bad rate. Euros and Dollars are easier. The change agents can be found on the North side of the Asamblea Nacional near Plaza Bolivar. They don't give you the rate that is announced on Twitter and they try to rip you off every time. Locals are afraid of them and recommend you to find other ways to change your money, for example through acquaintances. (For Venezuelans it is a way of saving money, because the BsF loses it's its value quickly.)
One trick the change agents try to pull is take your Dollar bill, start counting your Bolivars, change the Dollar bill for a fake one (without you seeing it) and then cancel the transaction and give you the fake Dollar bill. Make clear to them that you are not stupid. Don't be intimidated by them and ask different agents for their best deal.
