Venezuela Tourism

Venezuela is a country of staggering natural beauty ranging from the snow-capped Andean peaks in the west to the Amazon Basin rainforest in the south. Located in the north of South America, it has the longest stretch of Caribbean coastline of any nation with Caribbean islands such as Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, and Aruba laying near the Venezuelan coast.

The country's centre is characterised by the llanos, which is a vast tropical grassland plain that stretches from the Colombian border in the far west to the Orinoco River delta in the east. Venezuela is also home to the world's highest waterfall, the Angel Falls. At a height of 979 m (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 m (2,648 ft), the waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park.

Those seeking adventure will find hiking, snorkelling, scuba diving, kitesurfing, windsurfing, paragliding and more. Even better, most of these attractions lie within a one-day bus trip or a short flight from each other. Those interested in culture can revel in the pulsating salsa clubs of the nation’s capital, Caracas, explore various regional festivals, look for arts and crafts in the bucolic towns of the interior, or check out some of the world’s best up-and-coming baseball players hit a few innings in a local stadium. In short, Venezuela is a destination to suit every traveller.
