Margarita Tropical Gardens and Labyrinth
Be sure to visit the Caribbean’s only multi-species labyrinth, Margarita Tropical Gardens and Labyrinth, open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Here you will be accompanied by monkeys and other entertaining species as you wander through a maze of tropical plants and unique trees.
This one-of-a-kind park is divided into four areas. The first area includes vegetation which grows between sea level and 400 m above sea level, including 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, which 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.
Kingdom of MUSIPAN
If you are looking for a way to entertain your children, be sure to visit The Kingdom of MUSIPAN.
The Kingdom of MUSIPAN is a tourist based theme park based on the descriptions of Benjamin Rausseo, who is a well-known humorist of the area. The theme park offers its guests a variety of different swimming pools, waterslides, and restaurants to enjoy. The park also offers an animal farm, children’s play area, theater, and cinema.
While there, don’t miss the professional greased pig capturing contest, which is the official sport of the kingdom.
Porlamar Lighthouse
When visiting Isla Margarita, be sure to visit the Porlamar Lighthouse, which is one of the city’s most impressive historical landmarks.
The Porlamar Lighthouse, also known as El Faro de la Puntilla, is located east of Calle la Marina on the waterfront of Porlamar. This octagonal masonry tower, painted with pink and white horizontal bands has been located here since 1896.
The best time to visit is in the late afternoon because you’ll be assured of a great sunset and the spectacle of seeing hundreds of pelicans settling on the beach.
Isla Margarita Golf Club
Avid golfer? You will be happy to know that there is in fact a golf course on Isla Margarita, the Isla Margarita Golf Club.
The course features 18 holes and is a par 70 course. This course does not offer tee times, instead it works on a first come, first serve basis. However, there is usually no problem getting on this course except during busy national holidays like Christmas and Easter. During the low season months of April, May, June, October, and November you will most likely even have the course to yourself.
Course fees run anywhere from US$40 to US$80 depending on the time of year, but by paying in Bolivars you can reduce this cost and save yourself some money.
Caddies, pull carts, electric carts, and rental clubs are also available for your convenience.

Enjoy Isla Margarita’s Many Outdoor Adventures!
Snorkeling and Scuba Diving
Isla Margarita, home to Caracola Beach and Spa Resort, offers some of the best Caribbean scuba diving and snorkeling locations in the area. The two most popular snorkeling and dive locations close to Isla Margarita are Los Frailes and Isla Cubagua.
Los Frailes is a group of about five small uninhabited rock islands that are ranked as the absolute best diving place around the island. Its location provides the presence of large sea nutrients, which make it a place of great biological diversity. The main attraction at this location is the abundant and diverse underwater life. Los Frailes also offers small platforms, canyons, and smaller caves for exploring.
Isla Cubagua is one of the sister islands of Isla Margarita and is a popular location due to the wreck of a sunken ferry divers can explore. The cars of the ferry are still intact and provide an excellent photo opportunity. This location is truly recommended if guests are looking for adventure.
Horseback Riding
Horseback riding through Isla Margarita is a great way to see and experience the island. There are two public stables on the island; CabaCaribe and Cabatucan.
CabaCaribe is an American run stable located five minutes from Playa el Agua and serves all the major tourist hotels. They offer horses in all different sizes to accommodate all riders, as well as many different types of tours which cater to all experience levels.
Cabatucan, a French establishment, is located on the other end of the island and offers riders with tours along the beaches and the Mountains of Macanao. Cabatucan’s location makes it less crowded because it takes about 45 minutes to get there from most resorts on the island; however, it is well worth the distance. The beaches on this side of the island are always deserted and a gallop along the water is inevitable. For pictures and information, visit their website at http://www.cabatucan.com.
Windsurfing
Caracola Beach and Spa Resort offers guests a multitude of water activities but nothing will ever be more popular in this area then windsurfing. Windsurfing, which got its start on Isla Margarita due to the areas strong, warm winds and warm water, has become a windsurfer’s paradise. Isla Margarita is now recognized as one of the top five windsurfing destinations worldwide and is known by many as the capital of windsurfing.

Enjoy the Many Restaurants Near Caracola Beach and Spa Resort
Casa Caranta
Check out Casa Caranta, housed in a beautifully restored colonial-era house in downtown Pampatar. Italy, Asia, and America are the principal inspirations for the regularly changing menu, which is handwritten on a few large chalkboards and brought to your table. Options range from homemade pasta with shrimp and porcini mushrooms, to fresh grouper in a green curry sauce. With live entertainment most nights, this restaurant really turns into a fun meeting place around 10pm each evening.
El Pacífico
This is the best beachside joint of all the restaurants that line the strip of Playa El Agua. Get a table near the large windows overlooking the sea, or live dangerously and dine at a table under one of the tall coconut palms. Start things off with the plato de pescado ahumado (plate of smoked fish) and follow it with the fresh grilled red snapper or langostinos al parchita (jumbo shrimp in passion-fruit sauce).
Nikkei
This stylish restaurant serves up a wide range of traditional and fusion creations from the cuisines of Peru, Japan and a few of other Asian countries. The second-floor dining room is actually a large loft, with walls of solid glass on all sides. You may want to start with a Salad Nikkei, a small bowl of fresh mixed greens and seaweed in a ginger, honey-mustard vinaigrette, where bits of fried salmon skin take the place of croutons. It is recommended that you try to mix and match dishes for a Pan-Asian/Peruvian feast. Don't let the small sushi bar fool you; the sushi here is excellent.
Hard Rock Café
Looking for something a little more familiar? Check out the 5th Hard Rock Cafe to open in the Caribbean!
This 3,280-square-foot, two-story Hard Rock Cafe features an outstanding menu, collectible merchandise, and a world-renowned memorabilia collection for your viewing pleasure.
