Try not to miss: Los Roques is an archipelago of some 350 tiny islands that lie within the arms of a protective coral atoll eighty miles off the cost of north Venezuela. An area of exquisite natural beauty extending to 850 square miles, it has been preserved as a marine National Park since 1972. The sea teems with marine life of every description, and spectacular coral reefs combined with extensive pancake flats and talcum white beaches make the archipelago an outstanding destination for the fisherman, diver and sun seeker. Chartering a sailboat is a great way to explore the archipelago, and your skipper will take you to pristine deserted beaches and sensational bone fishing flats.
The 30,000 square kilometre Gran Sabana, which was the surreal setting for the Lost World movie and home to some of the planet’s most ancient rock formations. Our excursions through Gran Sabana start on the shores of the Orinoco River and finish close to the Brazilian border 600 miles to the south. This fascinating journey traverses a high plateau of tropical rainforest, open savannah and waterfalls plunging down the sides of breathtaking escarpments, including the spectacular Angel Falls.
