Yaracuy is home to several natural attractions, including the Yurubi National Park, known for its cloud and low-mountain forests and high levels of biodiversity. At Morrocoy, coral reefs and tropical fish are abundant in the waters around the cayos. Dolphins, marine turtles and even some coastal caimans live in the remoter mangroves. Birds include pelicans, flamingoes, egrets and the odd scarlet ibis.

Buy

The Paraguaná Peninsula in Falcon state is a free port, i.e. no sales tax or VAT is charged. This makes it a popular destination for Venezuelans to stock up on whisky or buy consumer goods such as televisions.
