I have been away for the past few weeks – I journeyed south to Venezuela and Rio, Brazil. In Venezuela, I visited the national park comprised of beautiful islands of Los Roques. It was an amazing few days on the island where I tired myself out by visiting a new island daily – sometimes 3 times a day, basking in the sun, yatching, fishing my lobster dinner, carousing with old and new friends, and of course indulging in one too many mojitos. Reason for my Venezuela trip: I had the honor of attending the romantic chic beach wedding of two very special people.
To get on the island, a charter is required from Caracas and 30 mins later you’ve landed on minutes strip of beach. There you hop on charter boats or yatchs and off you are to a sand dune in the middle of the ocean to just chill-axe for the whole day. The day is spent just dipping in and out waters that are aqua blue and turquoise for miles around. Los Roques would have been enough of an adventure. But topped off with my friend wedding made it that much more magical. The wedding ceremony and celebration were directly on the beach amongst the waves and moored fishing boats. Decors were simple yet chic, foods were creative and delicious, the drinks were fruity and yummy. It was well – perfect.
The islands of Los Roques are very quaint and not touristy in the slightest. We stayed in a little inn called Pousada Acuarela. Super cute little “hotel” if you will, that has lots of foliage, totally open air and small courtyard. The whole place is outfitted in wooded and white seating areas. Probably one of the cutest places to stay on the island. The food is also very good there as well.
All in all it was an amazing trip and I really can’t wait to go back.
