Total travel time from other US cities adds a connection through Miami, Panama City (about 3 hours 30 minutes to CCS on Copa), or Bogota (about 2 hours). Venezuela uses the bolivar (VES). The currency has undergone multiple redenominations. US dollars circulate widely as a parallel currency and are accepted at many hotels, restaurants, and shops.
