The wonderful new book from Britain's best-loved travel writer.

In February 2025, Michael Palin travelled to Venezuela to get a sense of what life is like in one of South America's most culturally rich, vibrant but also troubled nations. In the journal he kept during his trip he gives a vivid account of the towns and cities he visited, the landscapes he travelled through, and the people he met.

Permeated with his warmth and humour, this is a vivid and varied portrait of a complex country from the best-selling author of Great Uncle Harry and Into Iraq.
