Venezuela it's not just a country, it's a feeling. It is the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning, the sound of the four at a family reunion and the thrill of seeing the Avila when returning home. And although the distance sometimes weighs, remembering these places makes us feel a little bit closer.
In this tour, we will take you through seven of the most spectacular places in Venezuela, those that, even though we are far away, we still dream of visiting again and again. Which of them do you miss the most?
Morrocoy, crystalline waters that remain in our memory
If you close your eyes, you can surely imagine it: the sun shining on the turquoise water, the white sand under your feet and the sound of the waves gently breaking on the shore.
Morrocoy is that place we've all wanted to escape to at some point, whether it's on a boat ride with friends, on a family beach day or simply to disconnect from the world.
Located on the coast of the Falcón stateThis national park is famous for its paradisiacal keys and for having the best venezuelan beachesas Sombrero Key, Cayo Peraza and Cayo Muerto. Each one has its own charm, but they all share the same thing: crystal clear waters, coral reefs full of life and that peace that can only be found in a corner of the world. Venezuelan Caribbean.
For many, Morrocoy is more than a tourist destination. It is the reof a childhood full of laughter, of the taste of fried fish and tostones on the beach., of coconut scent and sunscreen. It is that place where time stood still and everything seemed perfect.
And even though life has taken us far away, Morrocoy is still there, waiting for us. Because no matter how many miles separate us, the best memories always find their way back.
Angel Falls, the heart of our land
If there is one place that represents the greatness of Venezuelathat is the Angel Falls. It is not only the highest waterfall in the worldwith its 979 meters of fallbut it is a symbol of the wild beauty of our land.
Located in the Canaima National Parkthe Angel Falls is more than a natural spectacle: it is an experience.
Reaching it is an adventure, but when you see it up close, all the effort is worth it. The mist that forms when it touches the ground, the roar of the water as it falls, the infinite jungle that surrounds it... it's a landscape that leaves you speechless and fills your soul.
For many Venezuelans living abroad, the Angel Falls is a pending dream, a destination that we once saw in a 100 bolívares banknote and that we have always wanted to visit.
Los Roques, the paradise we all dream of stepping foot in again
If you've ever seen a postcard of a dreamy beach with white sand and crystal clear waters, it must have been Los Roques.
This archipelago in the Venezuelan Caribbean is simply magical: pristine cays, coral reefs teeming with life and a tranquility that can only be found in the most special corners of the world.
Los Roques is that destination that many Venezuelans have dreamed of visiting (or revisiting). It is the place where time stands still, the sea shines in all shades of blue and every sunset seems to be hand-painted.
Roraima, the sacred mountain of dreams
There are places that seem to be taken out of another planet, and the Tepuy Roraima is one of them. With its flat top and mist-covered vertical walls, this stone giant on the Gran Sabana is not only an impressive destination, but a place full of mystery and legends.
Roraima is one of the tepuis oldest in the world and has been inspiration of stories and expeditions for centuries. It is said that on its summit there are unique landscapes, plants that do not exist anywhere else and a silence so deep that only the wind and the water that runs down its rocks break it.
But beyond its majesty, Roraima represents the adventurous spirit of the Venezuelan. Climbing it is not easy, but those who have achieved it say that it is one of the most important most incredible experiences of his life.
For many of us who live abroad, Roraima is a reminder of how strong our land and our people are. It is a symbol that, no matter the obstacles, we can always reach the top.
Merida and its cable car, a trip down memory lane
Merida is the heart of the Venezuelan Andesa city surrounded by towering mountains, mist-shrouded valleys and crystal-clear rivers that come down from the Sierra Nevada. But if there is one thing that all Venezuelans remember from Merida, is its cable carthe and longest in the world.
The Mukumbarí Cable Car is much more than a means of transportation, it is an experience in itself. From the moment you get on at the first station, you feel the thrill of slowly ascending up the Andean landscapewatching how the houses and trees are left behind while the mountains rise majestically.
As you climb, the air gets cooler and the view more breathtaking, until you reach the 4,765 meters above sea level at Pico Espejowhere, if you are lucky, you can see the snow covering the rocks.
But Merida is not only its cable car. It is a destination full of life, with its famous market of typical sweets, its streets full of history and the warmth of its people.
Stroll through the center and try a frescolita in the Bolivar Squarevisit the Coromoto Ice Cream Parlor with its exotic flavors, or getting lost in the moors enjoying a good hot chocolate are memories that many Venezuelans treasure.
Merida is a piece of Venezuela that fills us with nostalgia, a place where nature and culture blend together to create one of the most beautiful most unforgettable experiences in the country.
Canaima and its tepuis, the ancestral soul of Venezuela
Talking about Canaima is to speak of a landscape that looks like something out of a dream. Endless jungles, rivers of golden water and ancestral mountains. create a unique scenario in the world.
This national park, located in the state of Bolivar, is home to the tepuis, those gigantic flat-topped plateaus that have stood the test of time for millions of years.
The Canaima Lagoonwith its reddish waters and its spectacular waterfalls such as the Toad and the Axe, is a destination that impacts anyone. Walking behind the waterfall at the Salto el Sapo waterfall is a unique experience: the roar of the water, the breeze on your skin and the view of the lagoon on the other side make you feel in another world.
The Pemón Indians have inhabited this land for centuries and consider the tepuis as sacred. For them, these mountains are not only stone giants, but also the home of spirits and ancestral gods.
Listen to their stories while navigating the rivers in a wooden curiara is a connection with the purest and most authentic Venezuela.
The Gran Sabana, the landscape that fills us with pride
When talking about the Gran Sabanathe first thing that comes to mind is an infinite landscape of golden hills, crystalline rivers and tepuyes that stand as guardians of an ancestral land.
Located within the Canaima National ParkThis region is one of the most impressive places in the world. Venezuela and, undoubtedly, one of the most special for those who have visited it.
Sites such as Jaspe Creek, with its shiny reddish stone background, or the Kama Jumping, which plummets in a perfect drop of more than 50 metersare just some of the treasures hidden in this land.
But what really makes it special is the Gran Sabana is the sensation of immensity that it transmits. Here, the sky seems bigger, the air purer and time moves at a different pace.
It is a place where the nature remains intact, where the sounds of wind and water are the only ones that accompany the trip.
In short, Venezuela is not just a country, it is a feeling that accompanies us no matter where we are. Each one of these places, from the imposing Angel Falls to the infinite calm of Los Roquesis a piece of our history, of our roots, of the memories that unite us regardless of the distance.
