Enjoy One Of The Top Excursions on Isla Margarita

Excursions on Isla Margarita are definitely the best way to see the island, its surrounding areas, and overall, experience the enchanting beauty of the Caribbean when visiting Caracola Beach and Spa Resort.

Here is a list of the top 8 excursions:

Los Roques- The clear, calm waters and white sand beaches will surround you in this true paradise. The National Park of Los Roques is comprised of more than 350 islands and a number of coral banks, keys, and small desolate islands for enjoying and exploring.

La Blanquilla- Here you will be able to swim under cliffs and find backwaters of interior beaches whose pearly white sands and clear waters have made this destination a must see site. You will also find the perfect cliffs for wall diving in this area.

Coche- Spend your whole day kitesurfing on the super flat waters with a consistent offshore wind in this ideal location. Those who have visited Coche believe it is one of the most idyllic and tranquil places in the world to sail!

Cubagua- Thanks to the influence of a nearby ocean trench, the water of the bay stays in the upper 60s to low 70s year round and it is still possible to find oysters here. Ruins from the past can be found on the eastern side and provide guests with a perfect opportunity to explore the history of Cubagua.

Araya- The Araya Peninsula is famous for its salt production and in 1622, during the Spanish domination, a castle was built to protect what was then called "white gold". Visitors can experience the ruins of the Castle of Araya and enjoy its white beaches, take a stroll on the salt crusts of the Laguna Madre with its contrasting colors, and overall enjoy this incredible landscape.

Canaima- This is one of the more impressive tourist destinations around the area. The Canaima lagoon is fed by several small waterfalls, and all of which can be enjoyed from a Curiara (a long canoe) to provide you with a closer view. Something really surprising about this area is the color of the water and the sand. Due to the abundance of minerals, the water takes on red color and the sand is a beautiful light pink, because of the presence of quartz.

Delta del Orinoco- An extensive swimming region with an intricate vegetation growth of mangrove trees and tropical forest offers adventurers the opportunity to get acquainted with nature and with the indigenous communities.

La Gran Sabana- Landscapes of impressive beauty are what the tourist will find in this vast natural conservatory. The region is one of the more privileged places in the world with the famous Tepuys (flat top mountains), the oldest mountains on earth, and the world’s highest waterfalls, The Angel Falls. More than 9000 feet of height and 3000 million years of age is enough reason to visit this unforgettable place.
