Best Things to Do in Venezuela

Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Venezuela

Just a hop and a skip from the island of Trinidad in the southern Caribbean, Venezuela forms the northern crown of South America. The country’s top attractions are its rainforests and magnificent Angel Falls, the world’s highest single drop waterfall. Venezuela’s Orinoco River is the continent’s second longest after the Amazon, and cruise ships sometimes call at the country’s offshore islands in the Caribbean. Caracas, the capital, combines modern sophistication with colonial architecture.

Things to do in Venezuela - Expert’s guide

Angel Falls

The highest waterfall in the world, Angel Falls is located in Canaima National Park. This location is a little difficult to access as it is a remote destination, but many fights are arranged to go over the falls for the perfect viewing experience.

Morrocoy National Park

Known for its white beaches and coral reefs, Morrocoy National Park is known for its diving experiences. Travelers will get to go in the water to see all the beauty beneath the surface and then come back up to lounge on the stunning beaches.

Mochima National Park

This is a perfect destination for travelers to enjoy a day out in the sun. Visitors can go for a swim, relax on the beach and explore jungle areas. There are also many boat tour for travelers to immerse themselves in this beautiful destination.

Mount Roraima

Mount Roraima is a great destination for nature lovers and active travelers. Hiking is a common activity here as well as immersing yourself in the surrounding nature. It’s best to note that while hiking is a common appeal to travelers, this is no easy hike. It is very demanding but well worth the views.

The National Pantheon

The most sacred shrine in Venezuela, the National Pantheon is the final resting place of many national heroes. It was built on the remains of a ruined church and showcases stunning colonialism architecture.

Coromoto Ice Cream Shop

This ice cream shop is no ordinary ice cream shop. This destination holds the Guinness World Record for offering 860 flavors for customers. These flavors are not always in the shop however. Visitors can choose from 60 different flavors that often depend on the season. This is a must-stop for any food lovers.

Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas

Considered one of the most important museums on modern art in all of Latin America, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas was founded by a journalist and art promoter. There are over 5,00 pieces in the exhibition with eleven rooms for visitors to explore.

Everything organised by Karen at Chimu
Went as planned which we were very grateful for. The only drama was the tight scheduling of some of our flights and having to run to get to next gate on time. Latam airline did very well and all our luggage arrived on time . The cruise on OceanEndeavour was truly amazing; the ice, the wildlife and the professional enthusiastic crew made our experience very memorable. Thanks Chimu

Book your trip with Chimu
After having a terrible experience with a travel agent recently (who let us down with his organisation of our South American trip) and who has been organising our family trips for over 20 years, I called Chimu Adventures and spoke to Karen Scholes - she was fantastic. Within 1 hour we had our South American trip organised. Karen was reliant, gave great advice and suggestions. She always returned calls and replied to our emails very quickly.
I highly recommend Chimu if you are booking a trip to South America and can't thank Karen enough for everything she did for us. THANK YOU
