1. Angel Falls (Bolivar)
Considered a symbol of tourism in Venezuela: world heritage of humanity, Guinness record for the highest waterfall in the world. With a height of 979 meters, and 807 meters of uninterrupted fall, this waterfall is generated from the Auyantepuy river and its name means in Pemón "jump of the deepest place", this great destination located within the Canaima National Park is one of the places in Venezuela that served as inspiration for numerous books and movies such as "UP".
Located in the middle of the jungle, the water jets of Angel Falls fall from the top of Auyantepui, one of the number of tepuis in Canaima National Park. Something that makes this place even more incredible? The recent discovery (2013) of the world's largest quartzite cave, deep in one of the tepui's crevices.
Although this waterfall is one of the country's major tourist attractions, it is difficult to visit, since the trip to the falls is not easy. As the area where it is located is surrounded by forest, the only way to get there is by plane from the capital of the country or from Ciudad Bolivar, to reach a Canaima camp.
2. Roraima (Guayana City)
Besides Canaima National Park, the second jungle destination on this list is Roraima, located in the state of Bolivar, near the Brazilian border. Backpacker destination par excellence, the Roraima is a geological formation of 2810 meters high, being the dream of most of those who love to travel with a backpack on their shoulder.
Reaching the top of the Roraima tepui is an enriching and unforgettable experience. And every day there are more and more people who want to join this adventure, but for this they must have the desire and strength to leave comfort aside and even feel the adrenaline as if you were living the last day of your life. So prepare yourself mentally and physically and understand that you are going out of your comfort zone.
3. Médanos de Coro
The sand hills in the Médanos de Coro National Park are a spectacular sight, mainly because they are located in what is basically tropical country. The dunes are about 40 meters high, their beautiful orange and yellow tone characterizes it from other similar places.
The strong winds make this place change its shape constantly. The site is quite dry, so there is limited vegetation and wildlife. The dunes are a popular area to go aboard the hot sand, but you can also explore the whole place on rented camels.
4. Margarita Island
Margarita Island, known as the largest island off the northeast coast of Venezuela, is an excellent place for beachcombing. It also enjoys 50 beaches scattered along the coast, dynamic activities include windsurfing and kitesurfing, mainly at El Yaque beach.
Margarita Island is a favorite place for all Venezuelans, due to the duty-free shopping at the port. There are also several large cities, including La Asunción and the capital of the state of Nueva Esparta.
5. Merida Cable Car
Riding the spectacular Mérida cable car is something that everyone in Venezuela simply wants to do. It is considered the longest and highest cable car in the world. The usual route of the cable car is almost 12 km long and rises more than 4,700 meters above the air. The cable car stops along the way, so that visitors can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, but they can also get out and do some trekking.
