Tajadas

Plantain tajadas are a typical dish of several Latin American and Caribbean countries. The ripe plantain is sliced lengthwise or round, and fried in vegetable oil. They can be eaten as a snack, as a starter, or as an accompaniment to other dishes, sprinkled with grated cheese or as is, without any additions.
In Venezuela, tajadas are part of the national dish, pabellón criollo. In eastern Venezuela, tajadas are usually part of different fish dishes such as cuajado de pescado (cazón) or pastel de chucho.

The family unit is a very important aspect of Venezuelan culture. Venezuelan families are generally tight-knit, close and supportive, providing an economic and social safety-net. Extended family ties play a particularly large role in outer-urban regions and rural areas.
However, many families have been split and divided between different countries since the crisis began
(see The Crisis in Core Concepts). Therefore, some people’s experience may differ from the traditional family structure.

Sightseeing

Venezuela is a country of great contrast. The Gran Sabana region in the southeast home to the world’s tallest waterfall, gushing over a drop of 3,212 ft, dubbed the “lost world”
by the 19th century author Arthur Conan Doyle. Venezuela also contains the longest Caribbean coastline
of any country, with plenty of idyllic sandy beaches and opportunities for diving and snorkeling
the glorious coral reefs. Western Venezuela is the start of the great Andes Mountains, with summits reaching a colossal 16,500 ft.
