Discover Venezuela
Venezuela is a land of stunning natural wonders! Home to Angel Falls - the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall - Venezuela boasts incredible biodiversity across Caribbean beaches, Andean mountains, Amazon rainforest, and vast grasslands called Los Llanos. The waterfall plunges 979 meters (3,212 feet) from the top of Auyán-tepui mountain in Canaima National Park, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Venezuela has a rich cultural mix of Indigenous, African, and European heritage. Music and dance are central to Venezuelan life - the joropo (national dance), salsa, and gaita rhythms fill festivals and celebrations. Baseball is the national passion, and Venezuelan players star in Major League Baseball. From the snow-capped Andes peaks to the unique table-top tepui mountains, tropical islands like Los Roques, and the wildlife-rich Orinoco Delta, Venezuela offers extraordinary natural diversity. Arepas (corn cakes) are the beloved national food, enjoyed at every meal.
