Choroní and Morrocoy
West of Caracas, the bustling fishing village of Choroní is close to some pretty beaches framed by the stunning backdrop of coastal mountains. The village is on the edge of the Henri Pittier National Park, more than 100,000 hectares of cloud forest and home to 6.5% of the world’s bird species.
To the west of Choroní, you can see the giant sand dunes at Coro, or explore the wonders of the Morrocoy National Park - a beautiful collection of islands and mangrove swamps often full of flamingos, scarlet ibis and frigatebirds.
