As a Kid I remember Venezuela being a tourist destination. Always showing wetlands full of flamingos on thier visit Venezuela TV adds. Now I understand they have eating most of thier flamingos and most of the animals from thier zoo's .
I loved Venezuela, the Country started to show cracks in the 80s though, between corruption and communist influence it started accelerating it's nose dive in the 90s.
