Margarita Island
Isla Margarita, known as the "Pearl of the Caribbean" is the most developed of three islands which form the state of Nueva Esparta, just off the North East coast of Venezuela. Although situated within the Caribbean, Margarita is not in the hurricane belt. Its natural beauty and tropical climate make Isla Margarita an increasingly popular tourist destination.
Isla Margarita measures 55km east to west by 22km North to South. The dramatic mountainous terrain, populated with lush vegetation, flora and fauna ascends to over 1000 metres above sea level and is framed by many stunning white sandy beaches.
