Take a Tour during Your Stay at Caracola Beach and Spa Resort

Walter’s Tours are some of the most well known tours on the island. Below are just a few of his exciting tours.

Trekking Tour
Isla Margarita’s trekking tour will have you hiking up Margarita’s highest mountain, Copey (3,200 ft) where you will be wonderfully surprised by the lush, tropical vegetation you’ll encounter.

A certified, English speaking guide will then have you traveling through a river bed along jungle trails from the breathtaking view of Copey peak to a wonderful plantation. Your guide will also be able to point out a lot of interesting creatures for you to catch a glimpse at on the way.

At the plantation, you will find different kinds of tropical flora along with exotic fruits you will be able to try. The plantation will also offer fruit juices, soft drinks and cold beer for the ride back to your hotel.

Fallen trees, rocks, and a little bit of climbing distinguish this trekking tour from a normal walking tour. This tour includes the transfer from and to your hotel.
