Los Roques
The Los Roques Archipelago is a Venezuelan federal dependency of 350 islands, cays, and islets covering a total area of 40.61 square kilometers. The archipelago is located in the Caribbean Sea, 128 kilometers north of the town of La Guaira. The islands' pristine coral reef draws affluent tourists, particularly from Europe, who arrive on their own boats and anchor in the islands' inner, protected shallow seas. Tourism and development are regulated. In 1972, the Venezuelan government-designated Los Roques as a National Park due to the abundance of seabirds and aquatic life.
The Los Roques islands are normally serene, quiet, and abandoned, making them ideal for spending time with your family alone. Gran Roque, the major island, is home to a collection of small villa-style hotels that are both small and cozy. Natural pools abound in Los Roques, as do gorgeous fish. The coral reefs that make up the Los Roques Archipelago's flora and fauna are home to some of the Caribbean's most magnificent underwater fauna and flora. The park offers breathtaking white sand beaches and multicolored, clear warm waters, making it a diving, sailing, and fishing paradise.
