Venezuela is known for having more than 40 national parks. A good place to start exploring the parks is Parque Nacional El Avila, and then the travelers can visit Guatopo, Terepaima and San Esteban. If you are looking for adventurous mountaineering the Sierra Nevada de Mérida is the best place to do it. Venezuela became a favorite holiday destination for tourists thanks to its white-sand beaches of the Caribbean coast. Take into account that Tucacas is the best diving center. High Paramo grasslands are used for the horseback riding, practiced both by locals and tourists. Skiing in the tropics is not less involving. Between November and June the Sierra Nevada National Park draws the fans of skiing, suggesting proper facilities for this kind of sport and relaxation.
