Los Roques



Venezuela has epic proportions: it has South America's largest lake(Lake Maracaibo) and third-longest river(Río Orinoco), the highest waterfall(Angel Falls) in the world, and the longest of all snakes. It also has jaguars, armadillos and some of the most spectacular landscapes you'll ever see.

There are the snowcapped peaks of the Andes in the west; steamy Amazonian jungles in the south; the hauntingly beautiful Gran Sabana plateau, with its strange flat-topped mountains, in the east; and miles of white-sand beaches fringed with coconut palms on the Caribbean coast.
