Destination overview

From the Orenoco delta to the Andes and via the Amazon, Venezuela offers majestic countryside offering a total change of scenery. Conan Doyle set his book "the Lost World" here in the Gran Sabana plateau. Jaguars, monkeys, Sloths, anteaters, ocelots, bears, deers and armadillos all populate this fantastic destination. The beauty of its beaches and islands is a known fact amongst tourists, particularly those islands and beaches that form part of the Roques archipelago, a "must see" in the diving world. Turquoise blue sea, fine white sand, lined with palm trees and with warm water all year round: all the ingredients of an idyllic postcard...

pros

  •  The country is a condensed version of almost all of South America's natural wonders: Amazonian forest, the Andean mountains, savannahs, plateaux, rivers and waterfalls and finally the paradise-like beaches and coral islands in the Caribbean sea.
  •  The country's natural heritage is very well preserved (43 national parks).
  •  The tourism routes are well-used: on foot in the Guyanese massif (Mount Roraima), by canoe in the Orenoco delta and by boat in the Los Roques water park.

cons

  •  Cultural heritage is limited: No pre-columbian sites.
  •  The torrential storms that strike during the rainy season turn roads into bogs.
  •  Security conditions aren't brilliant.
  •  The road network isn't of the best quality.

Venezuela Holidays in Venezuela, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Tours on offer in Venezuela are generally related to the exploration of the Guyanese Massif and the Carribean coast along with various flexible options. In this way, everyone can choose their combination of walks on Mount Roraima, seeing the Salto del Angel waterfalls, horseriding in the Llanos, canoe trips to discover the Orenoco delta Indians, diving in the Los Roques park, or lazing around on the islands. The options are various. For backpackers, we advise you buy a hammock, as it is very useful for sleeping on the beach and the forests.
Try to avoid (day or night) moving around the pedestrianised area of Sabana Grande in Caracas. Numerous French tourists suffered attacks at gunpoint and underwent gun fire in the area in June 2003.
