Skip Venezuela.

That's unfortunate. I was in Venezuela for about 4 months total (2 trips) walking around Caracas at night occasionally solo and never had one problem. Ditto for Colombia, although i did see people killed there (apparently drug related).
There were 2 travellers i met in Merida who were robbed in the street, but that was the extent of it.
IMO safer to walk the streets of Caracas than many areas in New York.
