Mindful meoweler tips

Stay hydrated, fellow felines!

Barquisimeto can get pretty hot, so make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid the midday heat.

No catcalls, please!

Catcalling is not appreciated in Venezuela, so let's all be respectful and keep our vocal cords to ourselves.

Get your paws on some local sweets!

Don't miss out on trying the region's delicious dulces criollos (traditional sweets), like bienmesabe and dulce de lechosa.
