Los Roques is an archipelago located in the Venezuelan Caribbean, 160 km from Capital Caracas. There are no land connections with the mainland. The only ways to get to Los Roques are by boat and plane (small size only). Air transport is the means used by almost all tourists who arrive there. A minimum of two flights to Los Roques will be required. The first to Caracas and the other from Caracas to Los Roques, with an approximate duration of 1h.

Protected by coral reefs, Los Roques has a very rare atoll formation, rarely found among the most beautiful destinations in the Caribbean. It is a place of intense beauty, full of life and scenery that seems to come out of paradise.

Ask a resident of Los Roques which is the most beautiful beach in the archipelago. Chances are, you'll hear a resounding "all of them" in response. And they're not wrong, let alone exaggerating. The archipelago of Los Roques, with more than 350 formations between islands, islets and sandbars, is capable of causing commotion among tourists. It is impossible not to be dazzled when seeing scenarios such as those of Cayo de Agua, Carenero and Sevastopol, when faced with a sandbar in the middle of the colorful sea.

If you already think the scenarios involving deserted beaches, sand, blue sky, birds and swimming sea are incredible, try a swim near the coral reefs. When looking at Los Roques under the water, we are faced with a universe rich in colors and life, with unimaginable beauties for those who only stand under the umbrella on the sand. And you don't even have to try too hard. All you need is a mask, a snorkel and a pair of flippers to be happy. Los Roques, as a destination of rare beauty and full of life, was transformed into the Arquipélago de Los Roques National Park in 1972.

Unlike other famous Caribbean destinations, Los Roques presents tourists with a slow, leisurely pace. It is an experience for those who want to slow down and enjoy a Caribbean that is still little explored and without exaggeration. A good opportunity to socialize with the locals, try local dishes (always deliciously prepared with fresh fish and seafood) and, on top of that, spend the day on an absolutely deserted beach.

Easily comparable to a little piece of paradise, Los Roques enchants for its simplicity combined with the extreme exuberance of the sea. The archipelago is a destination for those looking for natural beauties capable of thrilling, but not only that! Los Roques also conquers visitors with its excellent cuisine, the constant wind that allows for beautiful maneuvers in kitesurfing; the rich marine life that attracts diving enthusiasts and fishing enthusiasts; and a sunset worthy of the best destinations in the world. Not to mention, of course, the dazzling colorful sea that accompanies tourists during every day of the trip and offers activities that go beyond imagination! So take advantage of every second to enjoy Los Roques intensely. We can guarantee that the longing on the way back will be great.

The variety of islands is great and to reach each one you will have to choose between a tour with the Tourist Transport Cooperative de Los Roques, a private boat or even the boat from the inn.

In Los Roques, the wind is strong and constant. Combined with the spectacular sea, the archipelago becomes an excellent destination for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Maneuvers take over the landscape on several islands and sandbars in the archipelago. Watching the acrobatics show over the water would be enough to be happy. But you can go further and try some classes there! Don't miss the chance to fly in the sea of Los Roques.

With such rich waters, Los Roques could not have any other culinary specialty than fish, crustaceans and other seafood. And the archipelago's cuisine is able to please the most demanding tourists. Despite the simplicity of the inns and restaurants, mealtime is always an event in Los Roques. The dinners follow several steps – with starter, main course and dessert – and seem straight out of European tradition (there are many Italian immigrants in the archipelago). Always fresh and well seasoned.

If you are going to invest in meals outside the inns, choose the seaside environments on beaches such as Francisquí, Cayo Pirata and Crasquí, where the fish will always be fresh and tasty. And if it's lobster fishing season (November and April), be sure to try it.

Los Roques is a very peculiar Caribbean destination. It does not offer luxury resorts, large international hotel chains or even diamond standard accommodation. Instead, the archipelago of Los Roques is filled with beautiful, intimate inns with personalized service. There is even the risk of guests leaving there considering the owner of the inn as their best friend. It's the kind of destination where you'll quickly feel at home, because that's how many inns will welcome you, as if you were at home! Welcome to Los Roques and enjoy the warmth of this incredible Caribbean destination.

Lodging options in Los Roques are concentrated on the island of Gran Roque, the main town in the region and where most of the residents are. The island lives practically on tourism. You will be able to choose from dozens of inn options that range from residents' houses to slightly more refined spaces facing the sea. Prices are able to please all budgets. The inns have daily rates ranging from USD 30 to USD 250 per person. Don't tie high prices to luxury and low prices to unpleasant places. No inn in Los Roques offers luxurious facilities and the simplest ones are excellent value for money.

Los Roques has a postcard-worthy sunset! The best thing is to know that every day the show is beautiful and always different. We can guarantee that the best “tourist spots” in the town of Gran Roque are the places where you can see the sunset. The most beautiful is facing the sea, between the chapel and the abandoned wooden pier. It will be difficult not to get lost among so many camera clicks. 

Have fun!
