Travel to Venezuela

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela brings you one of the best opportunities in the world to experience biodiversity. It is currently ranked 7th in the world today for the most number of species. This is due to the fact that a visit to Venezuela allows you to see the Andes Mountains, the Amazon Basin, and the Caribbean coast with relative ease.

Colonized by Spain in 1522, Venezuela has been fully independent for nearly 200 years. This has led to a sense of pride within the country at every beach, every restaurant, and any destination you might choose to visit. The variety of landscapes and the richness of the wildlife has led to a thriving arts community that affords you a unique opportunity to relax and enjoy the local culture.

A visit to Venezuela is not complete without a visit to Margarita Island. Not only does the island have a modern infrastructure, but you also get to explore fortresses, castles, and religious sites that are unique to the region. When your feet get tired, then you can relax on one of the many beautiful beaches that are readily offered.

A visit to Canaima National Park, one of the largest of its type in the world, allows you to explore steep cliffs and waterfalls, including Angel Falls, which is considered to be the tallest in the world.

You can explore. You can relax on the beach. You can be on your own or in a thriving community. In Venezuela, you get to dictate how you can relax and that is why it is the perfect destination.
