About Venezuela
Venezuela is situated at the northern end of South America and is famous for its unmatched natural beauty. From the Andean peaks and Caribbean coastline to wildlife-rich rainforests and the world’s highest waterfall, Angel Falls, its landscape is truly extraordinary. In addition, the country is also popular for its low-cost, high-quality healthcare. Medical tourists flock to this country to undergo aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, such as buttock augmentations with the country’s highly skilled medical professionals who have gone through intensive study and training, as well as medical centers that have modern medical technology and a wide range of procedures with competitive prices, are some of the factors that drive the country’s popularity among medical tourists.
