Venezuela

Year: 2004 Format: 13x19 Pages: 416 Photos: b/w col From the majestic snow-capped Andean peaks to the 2800 km of Caribbean coast, from the wild Amazon forest to the undulating savannahs dotted with tepuis, from the Roraima mesa to the Orinico Delta, from the hypnotic grassy plains of Los Llanos to the sand dunes of Médanos de Coro, from the lifestyle of the Yanomami indigenous people to the ultra-modern highways of Caracas, Venezuela will certainly have something to enchant those who are not satisfied with the 979 meters of Salto Angel, the most highest in the world. Useful suggestions for trekkers, cyclists, climbers, and for ecologists looking for caimans, capybaras and anacondas, or for birdwatchers. Where to practice water sports: windsurfing and kitesurfing, rafting, snorkelling, diving off white sand beaches. Organize your trip with the itineraries, accommodation, restaurants and clubs proposed here with the 80 detailed maps. A language guide and a practical glossary.
