Thanks to the wide diversity of our nature that comprises beaches, mountains, desert lands, forests, lakes, rivers, and exotic flora and fauna, our country is an ideal place for the ecological tourism. The ecotourism provides not only adventure but a means of preserving the delicate ecological balance of the world's remaining wild places. If you consider yourself an ecotourist with the need to get rid of stress and escape from the overpopulation and lack of space so typical of big cities, then you should not fail to visit some of Venezuela’s ecotourism areas where you will be in direct contact with the riches of our nature.
 
Venezuela is one of the most advanced countries as regards conservation of natural resources, more than 40% of the Venezuelan territory it is in condition of protected areas, refuges and reservations of water, natural monuments and forest reservations. Our country have forty-two national parks, twenty-one natural monument, several forest reserves, and six major biomes: the plains, the jungle, the Great Savannah, the Andes, the coast and xerophytic zone. More than twenty-five ecosystems are concentrated in 910,050 square kilometers.

The most important ecological tourism destinations in our country include Los Roques Archipelago, La Tortuga Island, the Paria Project, the Arekuna Camp, and San Pedro del Río.

The Arekuna Camp is located in the Gran Sabana to the north of Canaima, which is one of the national parks most visited by ecotourists. At present, this camp’s operations, from water processing to ice making, depend on solar energy. The development of this camp was guided by a truly ecological vision. Proof of this vision is that even the cleansing agents and soaps used in this camp are biodegradable, i.e., easily absorbed by the environment’s living organisms, and all supplies are repacked before their disposal to keep garbage to a minimum and thus minimize its impact upon the ecosystem.

In addition, it should be kept in mind that Venezuela is an Amazonian country, and its majestic rainforest stages a perfect scenery for the ecological tourism. In Amazonas state there are many inns and camps located near the most impressive tropical landscapes, petroglyphs and native Indian communities. Also, the Canaima National Park is located in the Bolívar state, and it's one of the most popular places for ecotourism, as mentioned above.

If you are one of those travelers in love with dream beaches, the sun and the sea, our country offers you the Los Roques Archipelago National Park, which comprises a group of the most beloved islands as they are the ultimate example of an ecotourism destination. The islands on this archipelago have beaches where you can marvel at the array of blue shades in their waters, as well as take delight in plenty of open-air fun, such as diving, snorkeling, and sport fishing. Presently, there are direct flights served by eight airlines and comfortable lodging in seventy inns you can choose from according to your needs.
