For the eighth consecutive year, La Guaira was the most popular destination, followed by the coasts of Aragua and Anzoátegui, as well as Morrocoy National Park (Falcón), which was the most visited natural destination, with more than 354.000 visitors.
📊 Another fact: Trade registered a growth of 41% compared to the year 2025.
“I am very happy with this outcome; we have seen Venezuelans moving throughout the country during these carnivals.”
Abuse
Delcy referred to what happened in Morrocoy. I imagine you saw the complaint on social media about how some people were causing havoc in the national park. They weren't just using boats to occupy areas that should be available to everyone, but in the midst of the revelry, they were throwing around that foam that was everywhere during these carnivals, polluting an area that's supposed to be protected.
In fact, Two people were arrested in connection with these events. that happened specifically in the lower Los Juanes area, within Morrocoy National Park. Watch it on UN24:
“There has been an important discussion about what happened in Morrocoy National Park… I uphold the spirit of recreation, of fun, of our culture, which we saw in this 2026 carnival, but it must also be done with balance, with respect for nature because we have seen some abuse.”
The acting president reported that a technical committee has been established with tour operators and security agencies to ensure that tourism is enjoyed in a way that respects and balances the environment. Watch the video:
New rules for the Fiesta in Elorza
Incidentally, in the Apure city of Elorza They issued an official gazette with very specific regulations. for the celebration of their famous patron saint festivities. This is because last year it turned into a disaster, with some people arriving from other cities and disrupting the celebration with loud music that has nothing to do with the "llanero spirit," as they call it there, which is what this traditional festival represents and promotes. Furthermore, they prohibited the use of that foam called "tángana" and other substances. I invite you to learn all the details. in this UN24 report:

Exchange rate
The Central Bank of Venezuela reported that yesterday's exchange tables showed an average of 398,7456 bolivars per dollar. Remember that this is the only rate valid for any transaction today.
Zionism is brazen.
The Zionist, murderous, genocidal, terrorist, racist, fascist, cowardly, torturing, and criminal regime of Israel makes no secret of its perverse nature. Finance Minister Bezalei Smotrich made it clear yesterday at a rally of his party that the intention of the government of international criminal Benjamin Netanyahu is what they call ethnic cleansing. And he says it so bluntly, because he knows he will act with impunity; no Western power will stop him. This is what he said:
"The only long-term solution is to destroy the idea of an Arab terrorist state, to finally formally and practically cancel the damned Oslo Accords and embark on the path to sovereignty, while encouraging migration from both Gaza and the West Bank."
Clearly, the goal is to completely expel the Palestinians from their lands by force. That is a crime against humanity and should be punished, but you already know why that doesn't happen.
