Venezuela is known for its natural beauty and wide range of flora and fauna. Whether you are looking to spend time in the mountains, beaches or even a desert, Venezuela is the place to be. There are so many tourist attractions in Venezuela that it is impossible to count them.
The biggest attraction besides its natural beauty and beaches is the Angel Falls. This is a free falling waterfall, and it is the largest one in the world. It falls a massive 3,000 feet. Besides this, the country is home to the Henri Pittier National Park, which is replete with different species of plants and animals, some of which are also endangered species.
People who love architecture will enjoy their time in Venezuela. There are many magnificent churches that are dotted all over the country. Most of the churches are from the Spanish colonial era, and each one is a testament of Venezuela’s colonial past. Churches like La Iglesia de Santa Barbara, Plaza de la Chinita and Basilica de Chiquinquira are worth visiting and marveling over. These churches are located at Maracaibo. In the same place, you will also find ruins of old Spanish fortresses that are worth visiting.
One of the Venezuela tourist attractions that you should not miss is the Castillo San Carlos De Borromeo. It is a fort built on an island somewhere between 1664 and 1684. This old fort still has lookout towers that were built on all the four sides. The place is an excellent one if you want to get an idyllic view of the port.
