Here is a list of my favorite landscapes that you can find in Venezuela.
1. La Gran Sabana
Located at the "National Park Canaima," the place leaves every visitor completely astonished due to its beauty and how big it is. It is famous for its table-top mountains called "tepuy". This place was the inspiration behind the landscapes seen in the Disney-Pixar movie "Up."
2. Los Médanos de Coro
The biggest dessert from the Caribbean coast. It is a dessert surrounded by jungle.
3. Los Roques
A group of islands located at the North of the country. It is known by its coral reef and clear water beaches.
4. Pico Bolívar
The highest mountain in Venezuela. It was named after Simón Bolívar, the independence hero for Venezuelans. It is the only place in the country where it snows and the peak is always covered in it. In the same State (Mérida) you can find the highest and second longest cable way in the world.
5. Colonia Tovar
Also known as the "Germany of the Caribbean", this city's architecture is based on German and Dutch styles. Its climate allows the grow of strawberries, peaches, carrots, and other vegetables and fruits. Its traditional foods are German (like the apple strudel) and also Venezuelan (like the churros).
6. Choroní
What makes this place special is the beauty of the town and its beaches, which are well known by surfers around the world. The other important factor is the cocoa produced in the zone, of the best in the world.
7. El Salto Ángel
This is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. It is located in the "National Park Canaima," just like "La Gran Sabana." This also appeared in the Disney-Pixar movie "Up."
8. Ávila
This mountain is the pride of every Caraquenian. It can be seen from any point of Caracas. People can go up walking, by car or by cable way. At the top of it restaurants can be found. There is also a hotel there called "Humboldt". Strawberries with whipped cream and hot chocolate are big attractions of the place.
9. Rayo del Catatumbo
This meteorological phenomenon takes place at the Maracaibo Lake in the city of Maracaibo. Lightning strikes at almost the same place repeatedly. It occurs during 140 to 160 nights a year, 10 hours per day and up to 280 times per hour.
10. Ríos Orinoco y Caroní
This two rivers located in the South of Venezuela connect but never merge. You can find river dolphins, commonly known as "Toninas" in the area.
