Vacation in a tropical country has long ceased to be something extraordinary. At the same time, most of our compatriots still choose "beaten paths" - uncomplicated routes like Turkey, Egypt, Thailand. Is it not time to pay attention to new places and countries?
In this article we will tell you what attracts tourists to vacation in Venezuela, Margarita Island, how to reach it and what must be paid attention.
Holidays in Margarita
Rest in Venezuela (and Margarita Island in particular) attracts, in the first place, a mild warm climate and amazing natural beauty.
Fans of beach holidays should visit the most famous beaches of the island - Playa el Agua (the most popular beach, the "face" of the island), Playa El Yake (windsurfing beach), Zaragoza (on this beach you can buy fresh fish "from hand to hand" - right at fishermen).
In addition, be sure to visit the protected park of La Restinga. Along its coast there is the longest beach of the island (more than 20 km), and in the cafe not the coast you can order oysters caught here.
Be sure to visit the observation deck of La Bonita, which offers a stunning view of the island. The fortress of Juan Griego will appeal to lovers of antiquity - it was built in the early 19th century.
La Asuncion is the capital of the state of Nueva Esparta, to which the island belongs. Here is another famous fortress - Santa Rosa, which protects the island from pirates.
On the island there is the Museum of the Sea, replete with very interesting exhibits, and the Byt Museum, illustrating the traditional way of life of the local heritage.
Margarita Island
Wild hummingbirds and canaries, flying freely around the island like sparrows, are in themselves a tourist attraction and amaze many tourists as much as beaches.
The level of security on the island is the highest in the country, but one should not forget about the simplest rules. Be elementary, and problems will almost certainly bypass you.
Currency Venezuela - Bolivars, but it is much more convenient to bring dollars with them. Please note that in the country there are two exchange rates, official and "black". Exchange dollars at an unofficial rate is more profitable approximately twice.
The airport on the island of Margarita is (in Porlamar - the largest city of the island), but it only accepts domestic flights, so it will have to fly through Caracas - the capital of Venezuela. In a season of high tourist activity, the Carnival period (February) and the Easter holidays of air tickets from Caracas to Margarita may not be. In this case, you can reach the island by sea - by ferry.
Returning from the rest, do not forget about souvenirs - from the island of Margarita they bring rum, pearls, black chocolate, magnets, clay dolls, hammocks.
