Located along
the "golden coast" of eastern Venezuela's principal
commercial corridor, Puerto La Cruz is also a favorite
mainland vacation spot and the starting point for other
travel experiences. Nearby, Mochima National Park is easily
accessible and offers excellent snorkeling, safe diving
and isolated beaches. The incredible white sands and exceptional
snorkeling and diving of La Tortuga Island lie just four
hours away by boat.
Within
a two hour scenic drive is Cumana, the first spanish settlement
on South America's mainland where fortresses built for
protection against pirates still stand. The Guacharo Cave
is also conveniently reachable and is considered one of
the most complete cavern systems in the world.
The
Golden Rainbow Maremares Resort & Spa is Puerto La
Cruz's world class resort and offers a variety of water
sports and access to these areas along with excellent
restaurants, nightlife and shopping as well as golf, tennis
and spa facilities.
Puerto La Cruz is very
well connected to the rest of the country, served by the
airport located in Barcelona, or by its ferry connection
to Margarita. Good roads link it to other important cities
like Ciudad Bolivar, Maturin and Puerto Ordaz.
