In spite of being famous for its oil wealth and beauty queens, Venezuela has much more to offer the international traveler. The country boasts of Andean peaks and great beaches. The beaches especially are worth the trouble of visiting. There are large expanses of sun and sand and water where you can go swimming and sunbathing. Venezuelans are used to Americans and Europeans and one can casually move around in bikinis and shorts on the beaches of Venezuela. This cultural inclusiveness of the people is something that is just great. With its long beaches – the longest stretch of Caribbean coastline found in any single nation – the country should be on the must visit list of all sun and sand worshippers.
The waters off the coast are an enchanting azure and there are many small and big islands off the coast that one can visit. You can also indulge in adventure sports such as hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving, kitesurfing, windsurfing, paragliding and more. All these attractions are found in close proximity to each other. With travel being cheap here, you will find it relatively inexpensive to indulge in all these sports if adventure tourism is what you are looking for. If you want to admire the beauty of nature, you must visit the world’s highest waterfalls, the Angel Falls. The nightlife in the clubs at the national capital is also great and will keep you entertained for the duration of your holiday. You can also make a trip up the steamy Amazon and watch the aquatic life in it.
