Los Roques archipelago is a federal dependency of Venezuela consisting of approximately 350 islands, cays, and islets in a total area of 40.61 square kilometers. The archipelago is located 128 kilometers (80 mi) directly north of the port of La Guaira.
The islands' pristine coral reef attracts many wealthy visitors, especially from Europe, some of whom come in their own yachts and anchor in the inner, protected shallow waters. Development and tourism are controlled.
Because of the wide variety of seabirds and rich aquatic life, the Venezuelan government declared Los Roques a National Park in 1972.

Colonia Tovar Tours Video
Colonia Tovar Tours Video - When you leave Caracas to the west, after 60 kilometers, and going through the Macarao National Park, you will find one of the most charming and unexpected places in Venezuela. It is a small part of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) of Germany´s south west, but in the costean chains of Aragua, a Venezuelan state. In fact, the first habitants came to Venezuela, after an agreement between the governments of Germany and Venezuela, and established in these beautiful mountains in 1843. They came from little towns like Wyhl, Edingen and Oberbergen of Kaiserstuhl.
For many years they remained isolated from the rest of the country, and for that reason, they were able to keep many of their ancestral traditions for many generations. As an example, they kept their language, the badischen (a dialect from Baden), their food, their dressing and also their tipical dances. Now all of these descendants from those pioneers speak Spanish and are completely incorporated to the country.

Short roundtrip pedaling about Colonia Tovar Venezuela (most northern tip of the Andes)
Absolutely crazy smurf town action going on there - 1855m above sea level! - with locally grown strawberries and peaches, avocados were as big as rugby balls and vegetables likewise just as coming from Garden of Eden
Sorry, looks quite awkward, did not realize cam was focusing in downward direction...
Still lots of curious stuff happening in that wondersome town with german black forest style houses (former german colony settled there 100+years ago), turqoise coloured vintage cars and latino women lingering.
First contact was with a local, Alexandro, a german guy who settled down there a long time ago....after having lived in USA, he is now a paraglider in Colonia..ask for him, if you are around...he is a nice guy and will readily go out with you for a beer or two...
