Merida

I love to visit Merida because you can feel the warm weather in the town and the cold weather at the top of the mountains. Here is a picture at the top of the mountain.

Merida is the capital of Merida State located in Venezuela, at the foot of the Andes, only fifteen kilometers from Venezuela’s highest point. It is the centre for outdoor activities in Venezuela. The climate in Merida city is between 19 °C and  20 °C, temperatures between 5 °C and 9 °C at El Bolivar Peak, or below zero when it snows and 28 °C in the El Vigia area. Merida’s cable car ride is the highest (4,765 m above sea level) and longest (12.5 km) in the world. Its path goes straight through the Sierra Nevada National Park, located in the Andes mountain range, linking the city of Merida with the Pico Espejo (Espejo Peak).

Morrocoy National Park

This is the perfect place to party in the water. I took this picture two years ago at Los Juanes Key.

Morrocoy National Park is located in the northwest of Venezuela, between the towns of Tucacas and Chichiriviche, at the south east part of Falcón. This park, which is located part in land and part in the sea (Golfo Triste), has a large number of small islands or keys like: Borracho, Pelón, Sombrero, Sal, Playuela y Peraza. Morrocoy´s beaches are excellent. But also, underneath, the corals and fishes show all their beauty to all divers. Among the activities that can be done is these areas are: beach activities, boat rides, fishing, scuba diving, swimming, picnic, sailing, etc.

Coro Dunes

When I was a little girl I loved to visit Coro dunes. It is amazingly beautiful, as you can see it in this picutre.

Venezuela has also deserts and dunes. One of the most interesting trips you can make is to the Coro Dunes (Medanos de Coro). The sand dunes of the Isthmus of the Peninsula of Paraguana are located north of the city of Coro, in Falcon State. Sand is brought from the sea by the Trade winds and deposited on the Istmo of Medanos. These winds, coming from Northeast, constantly model the sandy landscape. The massive sand dunes spread over an area of approximately 5 by 30 kilometers. Visitors can wander amongst the dunes by camel (imported many years ago), and the park is easily reached by bus or taxi from Coro.

Los Roques Archipelago

If you want to visit paradise, this is the place to go. Below you will find a picture of this paradise!

Los Roques Archipelago National Park It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful natural areas of Venezuela. The park, located about 80 miles (128 km) north of the port of "La Guaira" in Caracas, covers 221,120 hectares (546 acres), making it the largest marine park in the Caribbean Sea. Being almost an untouched coral reef, it attracts many high-end visitors, especially from Europe, some of whom come in their own yachts and anchor in the inner, protected shallow waters. However, development and tourism are controlled. The archipelago has more than 50 islands. The most important, El Gran Roque (The great rock) is the only one populated and is where the airport is located.

Angel Falls

This is the most amazing place to visit in Venezuela. Below you will find a video.

Angel Falls is the world’s highest waterfall at 979 meters (3,212 feet). it is located in the state of Bolívar in Venezuela and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Angel Falls is one of Venezuela's top tourist attractions, though a trip to the falls is a complicated affair. The falls are located in an isolated jungle, and a flight from Puerto Ordaz or Ciudad Bolívar is required to reach Canaima camp, the starting point for river trips to the base of the falls. River trips can be taken only from June to December, as the river to too low in the dryer months.
