Los Roques Archipelago
Los Roques Archipelago, is the biggest park of the Caribbean
Sea, one of the most important marine fauna reservoirs.
Located at 128 kilometers (77 nautical miles) from the north
of La Guaira, this archipelago possesses 60 keys (islands
formed by coral reefs) surrounded by the most crystalline
waters in Venezuela, and it is becoming, quickly, in one of
the strongest tourist attractiveness in the country.
In spite of its recent popularity, Los Roques continues
being a very calm and intact place, because it has been
protected as a National Park from 1972. The archipelago
occupies more than 225.000 hectares, that makes of it one of
the most extensive reservations in the Caribbean. Its pure
and white sands hardly rise above the turquoise and emerald
color water surface.
Around 40 of the islands that conform the archipelago are
not that big to have their own names. Other sand, rock and
coral tiny keys only appear on the surface, when the tide
lowers. All the inns in Los Roques, are very simple,
picturesque and with a great warmth, where you can enjoy an
excellent attention, good food, a lot of tranquility and
stupendous walks that are organized by the inn owners.
It is ideal for aquatic sports lovers, where they can enjoy
activities as Winsurf, Kitesurf, waterski, snorkeling and
