Due to abundant natural resources (Venezuela is the worlds
4th largest oil producer) past governments have never pushed or developed national tourism. However, the unparalleled range of geographical features found within the country along with the wonderful climate and the vibrant culture and music of its people, make Venezuela a world class travel destination waiting to be discovered.

Venezuela possesses the longest Caribbean coastline dotted with picture postcard beaches and coral archipelagos. In some areas such as the Henri Pittier National Park, the 2400 metre mountains border the coastline. Here just one road drops steeply through layers of primary cloud forests before reaching secluded palm-fringed beaches. Many visitors begin and end their vacations here, basking in the sun, discovering the lively local music & culture or trekking through the cloud forest spotting the abundant wildlife.

To the west lie the spectacular snow capped Andean mountains. Nestled below "Pico Bolivar" (5007 Meters) is the charming city of 'Merida', an ideal base to explore and enjoy this region. The highlights here include unique post alpine ecosystems and a ride on the world’s longest and highest cable car.

To the South of the country lie the 'Llanos' (pronounced 'Ya-nos'), a vast flat flood plain home to a vast treasure house of South American birds and animals including Jaguars, Giant Anteaters and Anacondas to name a few. Further south you encounter the Venezuelan Amazon a virgin rainforest inhabited by over 20 native Indian groups. Exploration here is along waterways that penetrate deep into the jungle.

To the South East lies the "Gran Sabana". This unique region is characterized by large, unexplored table top mountains or 'Tepui's' which inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book "The Lost world". Falling 979m from the 'Auyan' Tepui is the highest waterfall in the world "Angel Falls", one of the many amazing sights in this region.

On the east coast, where the Orinoco river meets the sea lies the massive Amoacuro delta. The Indians here live in stilted houses and paddle dugout canoes. As you explore the myriad of water channels in this region it's possible to see river Dolphins, Manatees and an amazing variety of birds such as Ibises, Macaws and Tucans.
