Los Roques Caribbean islandsLos Roques are amongst the very best of the Caribbean islands, situated 160km off the coast of Venezuela. Made up of a chain of 40 coral islands, along with hundreds of smaller islets, sandbanks and flat sandy cays. The entire archipelago is a national park, stretching 35km from east to west and 25km north to south, offering a paradise for snorkelling, scuba diving, game fishing or just relaxing on one of the many white sandy beaches. Excursions are made on yachts which take you out to these remote cays to laze away the days. The largest island is the only inhabited one, boasting tranquil posadas with comfortable roof tops, ideal for sipping your sundowners whilst watching the sun set as the ocean laps against the shore.
