Margarita Island
 |
Margarita is a Caribbean island of Venezuela, located at the Northeast of Caracas, the country's capital, within a 35 minute flight, or a couple of hours by ferry from Puerto La Cruz or Cumana. It is one of the most tourist places in Venezuela.
Margarita is well known for the quality of its beaches. Being an island, it is surrounded by beaches, and there is one for every taste.
Margarita is a great place to go around. Castles, churches, nature. Everything is close and going from one place to another is usually a nice trip.
One of Margarita's best attractions is, with no doubt, the Lagoon of La Restinga National Park. You ride in a boat through the mangroves and reach a very long beach. Do not miss there the opportunity to have fish or seafood for lunch under a hut.
Margarita's west is very low populated, but with places and isolated beaches that are worth the trip.
And not to forget that the island is a real shopping and night life paradise.
