The coasts of my country Venezuela are the best in the world, and how not to be if thanks to them the beach is my favorite place in the world, and as a good Venezuelan I carry in my blood the foam of the sea, and I adore the warmth of our lands, the temperate sea, the sunny days of the beach, the sensation of peace left by the sound of the sea hitting the sand, a cocktail of sensations that I know only my country can give me, today I am pleased to tell you about the beautiful Coasts of my country located in the Falcon state, I am pleased to tell you about the Morrocoy National Park.
The Morrocoy National Park, one of the favorite options of all Venezuelan to spend a lovely vacation or a family Sunday, consists of several cays or islets including Sal, Muerto, Paiclás, Varadero, Pescadores, Playuela , Playuelita, Playa Azul, Borracho and my favorite, Sombrero, each one with its peculiar charms that allow you to enjoy a pleasant day, likewise it is provided with some other islet without banks such as Bajo Caiman and the Juanes, well known for being encounter of yachts and sports boats as well as big parties even until nightfall. To reach any of them it is necessary to take a boat, this can be done from the city of Tucacas and the prices are adjusted according to the proximity of the key. In addition to this you have the option of staying inside the park where you can enjoy the coasts without having to take a boat and still enjoy a nice day at the beach.
In particular, I always recommend making the complete boat trip through the park, it is more exciting for those who want to know a little more and hear a little of the interesting history that hide our seashores.
The trip consists of a tour of the most visited islets to finish in the one of your preference, going through interesting places such as the "Isla de Pájaros”(Island of Birds) where there are large numbers of birds and the majestic mangroves that adorn the tile landscape with its green leafy over the sea, in addition to going through a huge altar to the Virgin where devotees place photos and make their offerings, on the way you can see fish from starfish and many species of birds flying over you or posing over the mangroves, It is lovely to see each species in its natural habitat.
Mangroves are very common in tropical areas where the salt sea makes contact with the mouth of fresh water, being formed by small trees in islets that give rise to the home of many species, both sea and air. In the Morrocoy National Park it is very common to find them along the route through its waters.
Within its crystalline waters, snorkeling is one of the most popular activities for its visitors, the park has beautiful coral reefs and countless marine species, during the complete tour they also make a stop in an area where the sea stars are very visible and you can even touch them or grab them, it’s important to remember that they can’t be removed from the sea for a long time because they die, if your guide does not tell you, please remember it.
You can go from complete boat tours throughout the park, to snorkeling activities, pedal boat rides or even camping with the respective Imparques permit, and some of the cays, especially the larger ones such as sombrero and paiclás, have restaurant services to enjoy a good seafood lunch on the seashore, you can’t leave without taste a delicious ceviche or a spectacular cocada.
It’s also very common to find vendors wandering seafood, ice cream, crafts and more, on the sand as on the sea, some arrive in their small boats to the busiest places so if you are a lover of seafood, I assure you that temptation may with you.

Recommendations:
1. If you do not know the park makes the complete tour, you will not regret it.
2. Take enough sunscreen, caps, sunglasses and whatever helps you to get out of the sun.
3. The beach will always make you hungry, I recommend bringing a couple of snacks, sandwiches or as my family usually does, a good rice with chicken that lasts for the whole day.
4. Thirst, you will be surrounded by a lot of water, but salty and impossible to drink, I recommend bringing water, juice or some soft alcoholic drink with a lot of ice.
5. I assure you that you will want to take your camera, phone or device to take pictures, it’s always good to photograph the moments.
