Travel to Venezuela for the Elections! October 1-9, 2012
This October, witness one of the most important elections in the history of Venezuela — and of the hemisphere. On October 7, the people of Venezuela will exercise their right to vote and decide whether to carry forward the Bolivarian Revolution through the reelection of President Hugo Chavez. This will be one of the most closely watched elections in the world for all that the Bolivarian Revolution represents. Come witness it from the inside and lend your solidarity to the people of Venezuela as they shape their own future.

The delegation will also include trips to beaches, parks, and other sites of interest.
