Galapagos Islands Luxury Tours Venezuela: Overview Venezuela is a middle-income country with a well-developed transportation infrastructure. Scheduled air service and good all-weather roads, although sometimes poorly marked and congested around urban centers, connect major cities and all regions of the country. Venezuela's tourism infrastructure varies in quality according to location and price. The beautiful Isla De Margarita is not yet known to the international community, which has spared it from the massive traffic of other island destinations. It has some of the most outstanding beaches in the world! This may change soon as the Island succumbs to mass tourism. In the last few years or so, Margarita Island has experienced amazing rate of growth. Margarita Island lies against the northern South American Continent avoiding hurricanes and serious variations in weather and enjoying pleasant warm temperatures. Its varied marine life thrives on the surrounding ocean plateau which makes for great scuba diving. There is a fabulous variety of food: fresh fruits, tasty vegetables, and a variety of meats brought in daily by ferry from mainland Venezuela. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: A valid passport and a visa or tourist card are required. Tourist cards are issued on flights from the U.S. to Venezuela for persons staying less than ninety days.
