Venezuela is a
country of striking natural beauty and dramatic
contrasts: the snowcapped peaks of the Andes in
the west; steamy Amazonian jungles in the south;
the hauntingly beautiful Gran Sabana plateau,
with its strange flat-topped mountains, in the
east; and 3000km (1860mi) of white-sand beaches
fringed with coconut palms lining the Caribbean
coast. South America's largest lake, Lake
Maracaibo, and third-longest river, the Orinoco,
are also here, and the country boasts the world's
highest waterfall, Angel Falls. It is also home
to a wide variety of exotic plants and
animals…more details to come……..
