Los Roques, Venezuela The Los Roques Archipelago National Park, situated in the Caribbean Sea 176 km north of Caracas, is one of the largest Marine Parks in the Caribbean with exceptional views of white sand with multicolored, warm & crystal clear water with an immense wealth of natural resources.
The Los Roques Archipelago has a surface area of 221,120 hectares (546,000 acres) & consists of 300 small islands, cays & sand banks together with countless coral reefs that make up a ring around a central shallow water lagoon containing mangroves & coral formations. The archipelago was formed by coral growth on a rocky undersea plateau that started after the last ice age. The Island of Gran Roque has the only plant growth & here the permanent population of the archipelago grew starting in the year 1910. The inhabitants of Los Roques, around 1500, support themselves by fishing for lobsters, shell fish & fish natural to these tropical waters. In addition they have started to work in public service activities &, more and more, in the growing tourism industry.
The archipelago was declared a National Park on August 9, 1972 for it's extraordinary natural resources & scenic views. Thanks to this declaration the conservation of this ecosystem of the Park is guaranteed. The tourist activity is regulated & the number of visitors is limited. Only a small number of posadas were allowed to be built & they must maintain the architecture typical of the islands & costal areas of the eastern part of Venezuela. DAY TOUR
