With beautiful mountains of sand, spectacular scenery and fun outdoor activities could describe Medanos de Coro. This desert corner is a must for those wishing to visit Venezuela and be dazzled by the beauty of the place.
Medanos de Coro is located in the state of Falcon in Venezuela, it is part of a national park that bears his name and is a site that will take your breath away. It has an area of thirty kilometers long and five kilometers wide and sandy mountains often reach a height of twenty meters above sea level. To reach this you must travel to Coro the capital of the state of Falcon, and then take one of the means of transport that will take you to the park entrance.
Once there you can perform many activities. The sand that makes up the entire isthmus is so thin that makes it ideal for people to roll for it, so it is common to see tourists climbing to the top of one of the many dunes and then just jump and roll down through sand until reaching the edge. If you are traveling with family, especially with young children, this activity is ideal, as you will have lots of fun and best of all it’s free!
If you jump on the dunes is not enough for you, do not worry, you can also try practicing sandboarding or sandboard. This is similar to snowboard, with the difference that the table used is specially designed so that it can slide in sand. You can also tour the drive through the desert on quad bikes, ideal if you are in the company of friends.
For a trip with friends, this destination is the best! Do not hesitate to make a romantic horse ride on the sunset; with your partner observing how the sun begins to set behind the dunes, becoming a beautiful romantic landscape, perfect to close this holiday with a bang.
The sands of this park are in constant motion, so often called nomad sands. If you decide to visit, it is best to take your camera and immortalize the landscapes that you are looking. You should be aware that the Dunes are located in a protected territory, so there are certain rules and prohibitions that you must meet to maintain the park in good condition; one of the main is that it is forbidden to remove any sand or vegetation of the park.
