Margarita Tropical Gardens and Labyrinth is a Must See Site

During your visit to Caracola Beach and Spa Resort, on Isla Margarita, be sure to visit the Caribbean’s only multi-species labyrinth, Margarita Tropical Gardens and Labyrinth. Here you will be accompanied by monkeys and other entertaining species as you wander through a maze of tropical plants and unique trees.

The park is divided into four areas. The first area includes vegetation which grows between sea level and 400 m above sea level. This area consists of different species of cactus, spiny bushes, and the emblematic tree of Nueva Esparta, the Guayacan.

The second area, The Flower Garden, includes the greatest number of flower species on Isla Margarita. Here you will also come in contact with mango, native plum, bananas, sugar cane, and guava trees.

The third area includes plant species which grow above 400m sea level. This area consists of bromeliads, orchids, callas, fern pal trees, and climbing ferns.

The fourth area consists of a pond where you can watch and interact with some of the tropical fauna, turtles, black spiders, royal parrots, a boa constrictor, and a Capuchino monkey named Pancho.

The park is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and is definitely worth a visit during your time on Isla Margarita.
