When traveling to Venezuela, what currency should I carry with me

I am planning a trip to Venezuela, but I don't know what kind of currency I should carry with me. Can I take US Dollars? Do I have to exchange my money to Venezuelan bolivars?

I see a lot of posts about the exchange rate on the black market inside Venezuela, but I still don't understand if I will be allowed to spend my US Dollars directly (without exchanging them to bolivars first).

I would really appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.
