Reasons To
Visit Venezuela

  • Beaches

    With an enormous Caribbean coastline, Venezuela has a number of beautiful beach options. The archipelago of Los Roques is simply stunning with picture perfect white sand beaches and simple posada accommodation. The Paria Peninsula in the northeast is a little more off the beaten track, and has long stretches of yellow sand beach with a palm tree, banana and cacoa plantation backdrop.

  • Mount Roraima

    Spanning Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana, Mount Roraima is one of the largest table top mountains (Tepui) in this expansive landscape, which was said to be the inspiration behind Conan Doyle’s 'The Lost World'. Possible to climb via an 8 day trek, it is a draw for adventurous trekkers from across the globe to experience the unique eco-system on top of the mountain.

    The world's highest single drop waterfall, the Angel Falls is located in the Canaima National Park in the southeast of the country. However the park is home to a plethora of other stunning waterfalls, not least to mention the beautiful Canaima Lagoon which has seven enormous falls tumbling into it.

    The vast Los Llanos region is home to working cattle farms called hatos. These private estates have been protected for years allowing wildlife to blossom within the grounds, which can measure up to 60,000 hectares in size. An enormous variety of birdlife, caimans, crocodiles, capybaras, anteaters and even larger cats and anacondas are commonly seen during a stay in these remote wildernesses.

Merida

Venezuela

Surrounded by Venezuela’s highest snow-capped peaks, the lively university town of Mérida is at the centre of Venezuela’s Andean region.

It is a pleasant city with a gentle, friendly atmosphere, steep streets and some enchanting colonial buildings.

The surrounding countryside is dotted with small, traditional villages where life still proceeds at the gradual pace of a climbing donkey, eking a living from the sheer mountain slopes, as well as glacial lakes, highland moors and tropical forest.

For spectacular views of the northern Andes, the world’s longest - and highest - cable-car reaches up from the city to high mountain trails in crystal-clear air.
