Audley Travel

Vast and little-visited, Venezuela stretches from the snow-capped Andes of the west down to the vast jungles of the Orinoco Delta, from the flat-topped ‘Lost World’ mountains of the south to palm-fringed beaches along its Caribbean coast.

The north of the country is where the majority of the population lives, most of the rest of the country sees nature in charge. Venezuela has South America’s largest lake, third-largest river, the world’s highest waterfall and the world’s longest snake. Overlaying this magical land are the Venezuelans themselves: a vibrant, exciting people, warm and friendly, unused to visitors but delighted by the attention.

This country of beauty queens and beautiful beaches, tabletop mountains and remote jungle tribes, never fails to enchant.
