Tailor Made Holidays in Venezuela: Highlights

Experience the city of Merida

Not always on everyone's itinerary to Venezuela, Merida is arguably the best city experience that you can have in the country. A wonderful laid-back university city, there is a vibrant and safe atmosphere in the city that is unmatched in the country. Good restaurants, bars, nightlife and colourful markets make this a great stop for a couple of nights. It is also the base to take a ride in the world's longest cable car, a trip of over 12.5km. For foodies, there is the world's largest ice cream parlour with over 750 flavours!

Explore the tepuis of Canaima and see the Angel Falls

The beautiful mysterious 'tepuis' (table-top mountains) that rise from the lush verdant earth, rivers and lakes in the Canaima region of Venezuela also make the highest falls in the world a sight to behold in the land that time forgot! A journey here is a truly memorable experience and a trip in a small 5-seater plane around the tepuis and up to the Angel Falls is one that will stay with you forever.

Relax on Los Roques

One of the very few unspoilt beach destinations in the world, the archipelago of Los Roques has no high rises, just simple family-run Posadas. All accommodation is on Gran Roque, leaving all the other islands as pristine white sand beaches with warm, turquoise water and no human impact in evidence. Here is the place to relax, read a book on a deserted beach or do some snorkelling, diving or fishing.

Sample the beaches and cocoa on the Paria Peninsula

The Paria Peninsula juts out into the Caribbean sea from northeast Venezuela and is home to an abundance of idyllic beaches. The palm-lined expanse of Playa Medina has to be seen for its gorgeously clear water and private surroundings. The Peninsula also boasts green rolling hills inland, thermal baths to chill out in and excellent cocoa plantations where you can try some of the tasty products.

Experience Venezuela's cowboyland in untouched Los Llanos

Few words can describe the abundance and variety of wildlife on display in the 'wild west' of Venezuela. Being remote and in Venezuela, Los Llanos still remains untouched and off the beaten track for many travellers but the friendly Llaneros cowboys and the superb guides make this area a unique place to visit.
