Venezuela Travel Guide

Venezuela is located on the Caribbean coast of South America. It borders with Guyana, Brazil and Colombia. Its unique geography ranges from the long Caribbean coastline in the north to the dense Amazon Forest in the south. Venezuela means ‘Little Venice’ in Spanish, the name given to this northerly country in South America. Venezuela offers travelers the best of two worlds: beautiful sandy beaches along the warm blue waters of the Caribbean; and the stunning diversity of South America's inland. The Venezuelan Amazon jungle boasts a remarkable set of exotic animals, including the tapir, jaguar, armadillo, anteater and the fearful anaconda.

The capital city of Caracas is a busy place and there are always things going on there. You shouldn't miss out on it. Caracas is lively, green and clean, with a rich cultural life, vibrant nightlife, great restaurants and marvelous modern shopping malls. The beach resort of Margarita Island is popular with people looking for a place to relax and get a tan. Angel falls are one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the world. If you think Niagara is great you should really go here.

The city of Maracaibo, an oil boom town, in the west of the country has good things to offer to the tourist too. Venezuela has a little bit of everything that Latin America has to offer, with the addition of thousands of miles of Caribbean coastline, and the constantly pleasant temperature that makes it good year-round destination.
