My name is John Benus, founder of International Tourism to Venezuela. In 1968, I helped coordinate the first and largest group since Christopher Columbus to visit the Isla de Margarita. At that time there were more goats than people living on the island. I then founded the Venezuelan Tourism Association to promote tourism from the USA & Canada. If you'd like to visit Venezuela now you might like to see the other side of what to expect by watching any current News channels on the country. I have traveled extensively in all Latin American countries and never found another country with more diversity, friendliness and natural beauty. VIVA VENEZUELA !
wow Luke!! te conozco a partir de los videos de Reinaldo Diaz, soy venezolana con 7 años fuera de mi pais y no sabes lo que les agradezco sus videos y experiencias recorriendo nuestros paisajes, compartiendo con nuestra gente, energìa y nuestros colores!! gracias por tan hermoso trabajo, sus fotos, videos y ediciones son de altìsima calidad... traspasan las pantallas!! 🤩🤩
Apart from all their enourmous struggles and problems in daily life, I found Venezuelans the most welcoming people ever and their country has just astonishing nature. Just astonishing...
Ay Luke. Me conmueve infinitamente que nuestra tierra produzca todas esas emociones en ti y que hayas sido capaz de transmitirlo con esa belleza y ese espíritu. Y si… somos todo eso que dices. Un abrazo inmenso Luke. Ojalá pueda abrazarte en vivo algún día
Aw Valen! Thank you so so much for stopping by and taking the time to watch. Not only that but thank you for taking the time to help voice this film. You are an incredible human and I can't wait to get that hug some day soon!
My, my Lukey. What a truly epic film. Beautiful, inspiring, emotional and human. A cinematic tour de force. And a fitting celebration of the wonder that is #Venezuela and its beautiful people. Wow! x
Your films always give me goosebumps. I think your skill for storytelling together with the stunning videography you put together is just fabulous!. Well done!

This is so beautiful to watch amazing video. I wish you to travel to more countries and do these kind of videos :) loving it. Sri Lanka would be a good one to put on the list :D
wow Luke... As a Venezuelan who moved away from the country more than 10 years ago in search of a better future, and fell in love with film making, this might be the most beautiful video I've ever seen. You trully captured what Venezuela is, apart from all the bad in the country. Props to you man! will have this one on repeat for a long time! Can't wait to travel back and make a film of my own.
This comment gave me goosebumps. I'm so glad I could share something that brought back some good feelings. I hope I can do the same with the rest of the content to come!

Como venezolano me siento orgulloso y agradecido de este extraordinario trabajo. La belleza de nuestro país y la calidez de su gente es única y nos prepara un camino de aventura. Gracias Luke por compartir tu aventura en Venezuela con el mundo ❤ Bienvenido hermano a esta Tierra llena de Gracia! 💛💙❤️
Powerful video Luke. What an emotive start, with the stormy sky and lightning framing the group of indigenous people - really grabs the attention! I loved the way you introduced the film with characters and voices of Venezuelans and then added pictures of stunning landscapes. Great shots of the animals too - I’d rather be friends with them than not!! Well done Luke! The video gives a great flavour of the adventure that Venezuela has to offer. You really know how to put a series of shots together and create a captivating story.
Wow, Luke, what an amazing video! You totally crushed it! I really appreciate you having confidence in me for the VFX work! It was an honor working with you 🤝
Gracias por darle la oportunidad a Venezuela de enamorarte de ella, por que sí, indudablemente que sales enamorado de todo lo que te ofrece y de su gente que es especialmente cálida y alegre.
