Angel Falls Venezuelaphoto credit: Mega Venezuela
Venezuela

The story of Venezuela in South America is one of many challenges involving political, economic and social upheavals.  With recent elections sweeping in a new government, there may be a new era of stability forthcoming.  But it is much too soon to make predictions.  Venezuela benefited in the last century from its rich oil reserves, also from mining of precious metals and minerals.  Now with price drops and demand worldwide for alternative energy sources, it is clear Venezuelans will need to embrace other sources of income.

With its beautiful coast, offshore islands, and natural wonders, Venezuela attracts nearly one million foreign visitors annually.  For most the main port of entry is Caracas - the capital city on the Caribbean coast. From there some will head out to Isla de Margarita, while others will head inland to places like Mérida, a city in the Venezuelan Andes noted for having the world’s longest cable car ride. Sierra Nevada National Park is nearby.  Another “must-see” is Canaima National Park, home to Angel Falls (Salto Angel) the world’s highest waterfall. Archipiélago Los Roques National Park – coral based offshore islands – is most popular with visitors who enjoy sailing and boating activities, snorkel, diving, sports fishing, and windsurfing. In all, Venezuela boasts 43 national parks which account for 20% of its total land territory. 

Wild animals to be found in Venezuela include giant anteaters, anaconda snakes, howler monkeys, capybaras, ocelots, armadillos, frogs, eagles, parrots, and manakins.
