Isla Margarita
From $330 for person
Trip Highlights:
  •  Isla Margarita comes from the Greek word "pearl" and indeed it is a pearl!
  • With its great nightlife, variety of restaurants, bars, discos, nightclubs and casinos, as well as miles of coast to do a variety of activities, Margarita offers many options to enjoy a superb vacation.
  • Its freeport status has made Margarita the least expensive resort destination in the Caribbean for tourists from both Europe and North America.


Day 1: Caracas Airport - Margarita Island

Meet our travel assistant at the Caracas airport. He/she will welcome you to Venezuela, answer all your questions, and transfer you to your connecting flight to Margarita. Transfer to your hotel. Overnight at an all inclusive resort.

Day 2: Margarita Island

Enjoy the facilities/activities the resort has to offer.

Day 3: Margarita Island

Another day to enjoy the activities offered at your all-inclusive hotel. However, if today you feel like doing something outside of the resort, spend some time shopping or site seeing in the center of town. In Avenida Santiago Mariño and Avenida 4 de Mayo there are plenty of places to go shopping. This is the place to find French perfumes and local wares, as well as many restaurants, bars, discos, and hotels. Other activities to do in the center of town include: a visit to the Francisco Narvaes Contemporary Art Museum, the Saint Nicolas de Bari Church in front of the Plaza Bolivar, and/or the Laguna Las Marites Natural Monument which offers a peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of the streets and shops.

Day 4: Margarita Island

Today you might want to visit the beaches in the eastern side of the island (i.e. Guacuco and Cardon beach, followed by Parguito beach which is ideal for surfing). Further along is Playa El Agua with its row of coconut trees and beach restaurants. Across from Playa El Agua is Los Frailes Islands, whose surrounding coral reefs and abundant marine life are an attraction for diving and snorkeling. Further north, you will find Zaragoza, Caribe and Juangriego, and La Galera- two famous bays with extraordinary views. Juangriego is the main commercial center of the northern part of the island. The sunsets here are spectacular, and the local seafood dishes are delicious!

Otherwise, peninsula de Macanao offers the untouched natural landscapes, deserted beaches, diverse bird species and ancestral traditions. For nature enthusiasts, Margarita houses two national parks and three natural reserves with local colonies of scarlet ibis, flamingos and an endemic parrot species named "cotorra margariteña". Specifically, El Parque Nacional Cerro Copey offers an opportunity to observe native species of trees, and a variety of birds.

The villages of San Francisco, Boca de Rio, Boca del Pozo, Robledal, and El Tunal are as austere as the landscape. As you travel through the area you will see many birds that are typical of semi-arid regions, like the yellow shouldered parrot. Other common species include the cardinal and the Tourpial (oriole). A paved road takes you from Boca del Rio to Punta Arenas, a peaceful beach of crystalline waters. If you follow the coastline you will reach Boca del Pozo and Robledal, both typical fishing villages with their unique shore carpentry, and finally la Pared beach to the north. Other secluded beaches like El Farol, La Mula, and La Auyama can be reached with 4-wheel drive vehicles.

If Margarita is not enough, neighboring Coche Island, a 55 kilometer island home to 35,000 inhabitants, is dedicated to fishing, shrimp farming and tourism. Its dry landscapes of yellow and orange rock by the deep blue sea are memorable.

NOTE: These are just ideas of things you can do in Margarita. The excursions are not included in your package.

Day 5: Margarita Island

Enjoy the activities offered at your all-inclusive hotel.
