Venezuela is a Latin country with a Caribbean beat and a strong indigenous presence. Jagged, snow-capped Andean mountains shelter quaint Spanish colonial towns, while the indian communities of the Orinoco basin maintain their simple lifestyle. Special attractions include the 'Lost World' of flat-topped tablelands where waterfalls plunge over towering vertical cliffs, the extensive savannah grassland of the llanos, with its teeming wildlife, and some lovely Caribbean beaches. Venezuela is a growing adventure activity destination with horse-riding, mountain-biking and canoeing opportunities. There's a comprehensive road network, or you can travel using the frequent short domestic flights.60
