Los Roques Archipelago, Venezuela

What makes Los Roques such a wonderful place is the huge extension of peaceful waters, the presence of lagoons, small islands and beaches with white sand (from the coral origin), and crystalline waters with incredible colors. Pristine coral reef, white sands, and turquoise blue waters make this little collection of 350 islands one of the most surreal places in South America. Los Roques is an ideal place for snorkeling, fishing, windsurfing, or kite surfing. Because of the wide variety of seabirds and rich aquatic life, the Venezuelan government declared Los Roques a National Park in 1972.
