This Wall Street Firm Has 36-Hour Guide to Caracas While You're Not Renegotiating Debt

Thanks in large part to the work of former Bank of America economist Francisco Rodriguez, Torino Capital has built a reputation for being one of the go-to shops for market information on Venezuelan debt.

Ahead of his own trip down to Venezuela to attend the “sovereign debt renegotiation” meeting called by the government that begins at 1 p.m. New York time, he sent clients a brief guide to visiting the capital city with suggestions on drinks, food and even where to witness black-market vendors hawking their goods in Petare, a sprawling working-class neighborhood replete with shanty towns.
