Tips for shopping malls in Venezuela

The only worthwhile places to go shopping in Venezuela are the huge malls in the capital city of Caracas, which have all the usual international designer boutiques. Look for and prioritize indigenous or locally made goods. Masks come in a wide variety of designs and styles.

Chinchorros, the native name for hammocks, includes an elaborate weaving of thin strands of rough natural fibers. There are also modest pottery goods and a wide selection of woven baskets, caps, and purses. Despite being duty-free, tourists from other countries probably won’t visit Isla de Margarita. The variety and cost are similar to what most people can find in their communities.

Outside of malls, department stores, and hotel gift shops, it is customary to haggle for the best price. Many vendors at outdoor markets and souvenir stores will accept 25% to 30% discounts if you bargain with them.
