Vargas

One of the 23 states that make the country of Venezuela, Vargas is a city that sits right beside the Andes Mountains and a number of vibrant beaches. Those looking to hike the Andes can hit the city and stock up on supplies before entering the vast mountain range. If you’re looking for days by the beach, you have a vast selection, including the Bikini, Circulo, Larga, Caribito, Verde, and Punta Care beaches. For more focused outdoor activities, visit El Avila National Park. The mountainous natural reserve is home to steep hikes, breathtaking viewpoints, and a serene natural environment. Nearby El Avila National Park is Pico Naiguata, one of the highest points in the region. Its summit should be the icing on the cake of your adventures.
