Venezuela is a country in South America which is made of numerous islands and a mainland. Venezuela is bordered by Brazil, Colombia and Guyana and sits close to the equator. The country was once a Spanish speaking country and it has been highly urbanized. The country is a wonderful place to visit if you want to see some authentic South American Latin culture and also if you love nature; the region has plenty of lush beaches and forests, as well as some mountains that are ideal for rock climbing. Don’t dismiss the country just because it is lesser known – there are plenty of things to see and do. Whenever you are travelling in South America be a little cautious and don’t carry valuables around with you.

Snorkelling and diving is also available at Parque Nacional Mochima with plenty of small islands and coral reefs.

Birds are also highly popular in Venezuela – go to Cueva Del Guacharo which has famous caves with oilbirds that make a famous screeching sound and go to Parque Nacional Henri Pittier which is a birdwatchers paradise. You can also visit the pink flamingos at the Parque Nacional Morrocoy which is just four hours from Caracas – here you will also see the Scarlet Ibis.
