The Venezuelan
coast on the Caribbean
Sea doesn't bathe the mainland alone, some 72 tropical
islands packed with adventures add to the experience as
well. Nueva Esparta State, the only entirely insular region
in Venezuela, is comprised of the country's largest island
Margarita, Coche
and Cubagua and is located 24
miles from the Sucre
coast. Wonderful archipelagos, such as Las
Aves, Los Testigos and
Los Frailes and other virginal
islands such as La Blanquilla
and La Tortuga are also part
of Venezuela and can be visited by air or in a private
charter sailboat or yacht. The so called continental islands
of Mochima and
Morrocoy National
Parks complete what is to offer.
Scuba
diving and snorkeling lovers will feel in paradise
here. If you prefer windsurfing,
your best bets will be the world famous El Yaque Beach
in Margarita, Coche
and Los Roques. The average
wind speed in El Yaque is 25-30 knots. Other beach-related
activities such as body surfing, board surfing, ultra
lights, wave runners, parasailing and sailing
are also available at many spots. Don't forget Venezuela
is out of the hurricane belt!
Los
Roques Archipelago National Park, one of the main
travel destinations in Venezuela, is located 90 miles
north of Caracas International
Airport. This natural park covers 546,166 acres packed
with hundreds of small, flat, white sand islands and mangroves
surrounded by turquoise water where you can practice windsurfing
and experience the best snorkeling, diving
and bonefishing
in the Caribbean.
