Travel question to S. America?
I have got passports to go from U.S. to Venezuela for my family in one week, but do I need a visa?
I am just going to Margarita Island for 7 days vacation.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

It depends on how you will be arriving in Venezuela. Check this link for the scoop:

If you have a US passport and you are entering by plane, you don't need a Tourist Visa to enter Venezuela. A Tourist Card will be issued by the airlines which allows you to stay in Venezuela for a non-renewable 90 day period.
For more information:

There is a departure tax that you need to pay before leaving Venezuela (I think it was $19). In addition, there is also a small tax that you need to pay when leaving Margarita (about $2).
Margarita is a beautiful island. Enjoy!
