  • 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.

    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 precious assets of the area - gold, diamonds, topaz, jasper, bauxite and iron are all turned into products which create money to fill the many new shopping malls which have sprung up.
