Paraguaná and Médanos de Coro: Where Desert Meets the Caribbean
The Paraguaná Peninsula, nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Venezuela, is rich in natural beauty, history, and economic significance. Connected to the mainland by the sandy Médanos Isthmus, the peninsula is home to Médanos de Coro National Park, a unique desert landscape of wind-sculpted dunes and coastal plains. This juxtaposition of desert and sea, combined with the area's historical role as a hub for pirates and smugglers, creates a compelling destination for ecological study and exploration.
