Margarita Island is a unique destination for those in search of a tropical adventure. Just off the coast of Venezuela, Margarita Island has long been a fashionable destination for European and South American tourists. Although English is not as widely spoken here as in other parts of the Caribbean, hospitable people make up for any language barrier. The popular city of Porlamar offers visitors first-class duty-free shopping, excellent dining and an active nightlife with several casinos and open-air beachside clubs. Consider venturing beyond the island to explore the primitive Amazon Rainforest, visit the world famous Angel Falls, or take a hiking trip to Kavoc where mountains, mysterious caves and ancient Indian camps await your arrival.
