Traveling to Venezuela is an unforgettable trip!
One British author, in his science fiction novel, described the adventures of the heroes that happened to them in South America. The plot of this book was inspired by the author of the National Park, which is located in a country with a beautiful name – Venezuela…
The landscape of Venezuelan territory is represented by mountains, lowlands and plains. Venezuela is famous for the presence of a huge waterfall – Angel, which is located in the National Park. There are approximately a thousand rivers in this state, but to a large extent they are not huge. The Orinoco River is one of the ten longest rivers. It is considered the eighth longest in the world and the second longest after the Amazon River on the mainland of South America.
The alpine climate here gives way to a tropical one, so the air temperature here changes slightly. August and July are considered hot months; coolness occurs only from November to February.
Venezuela is a unique country with a fascinating culture
As a result of the influence of indigenous settlers and Indians from other countries, a unification of the cultures of these peoples took place in Venezuela. For example, at the time when the Spaniards settled the land, guitars and violins began to be used in the country as musical instruments. An important religious holiday is Christmas, which is celebrated from mid-December to January 6. Venezuela hosts an amazing Carnival, no worse than Brazil.
The cuisine of Venezuela has been mixed thanks to the classic dishes of the local Indians, French, Spanish and even later. Depending on the area of residence, the Venezuelan menu varies from fish products to meat dishes.
Sights of Venezuela
Of course, the main pride of this country is Angel Falls. But in order to contemplate this beauty, you need to overcome a difficult path that runs through the jungle with animals and unique flora. But this is not the only visible “pearl” in this country; Venezuela is also rich in nature reserves and National Parks, where there are sand dunes, and countless resorts with gorgeous beaches.
