The place is a natural paradise. Snorkelling is spectacular. Crystal clear waters. A super quiet, only during weekdays
About a 30 minute ride on boat from the Gran Roque, Crasqui has everything that a tropical island can offer: white sands, clear water and a relaxing environment. It is also a good location for kitesurfing and there is a beach front restaurant (foritas place) that serves delicious fresh fried fish.
Everybody told us about cayo de agua, but the best visit in Los Roques was Crasqui.On the right side of the island there are amazing coral reefs for snorkeling - one of the best places for snorkeling in los roques.There are also some choices of restaurants to eat, where you can eat fresh lobster for instance. Finally, we were luck enough to see leatherback turtles being born right next to where we were seating. We helped the babies reach out to the sea. Unfortunately, most of them died, but it was a very good experience to see them coming to the sea and swin together with them.
Los Roques is a piece of paradise that set place in the Caribbean. Isolated from some of the more touristic lower antilles islands, it belongs to Venezuela by default, after being abandoned by the Dutch, who settled in nearby Bonaire and Curacao. Los Roques are wild nature, no big hotels, only small lodges (posadas) in the main island of the Gran Roque, some of them of very high quality and standards.The turquoise waters, the pelicans and seagulls, the white coral sands and the caribbean sun all come together to make this a very special place in the caribbean. There are so many islands to visit once you land that in low season you may be the only one visiting some of them. We go there whenever we set foot in the Caribbean, and love it every time a little bit more. Flights arrive there only from Venezuela to the small airport. Best is to contact a tour operator to help you from Maiquetia Airport (Caracas International) to the domestic terminal where you'd fly to this wonderful place on earth.
Lugar de ensueño. Llegas en avioneta. Es un pueblito en una isla y de ahí en lancha vas a recorrer las demas.
the closest place from the main island where you can stop. the advantage is you can eat there-same magnificent beaches and water
almost all of los roques is good for diving. drop the non divers at this lovely beach with a lot of sun tan lotion and head on out to a reef nearby for some of the most spectacular diving around
Beutifull, unspoiled and inhabitated as it is part of the National Park.Only to be reached by boat to be rented at the main island Gran Roques, where you can find Posadas and small restaurants. At Craski you can stay only during the day and there is no shade.
nice place for relax and very good for scuba dive around. I wish I could stay for longer here. warm water and friendly service. make this place unique
Los Roques National Park, Venezuela, leaves something to be desired for the naturist/nudist. Most of my two days in Los Roques were spent, sadly, in shorts and not naked. The archipelago is populated by a fair number of Italian expats so it surprised me that women did not feel comfortable enough to go top-free. Men, of course, did go top-free. I have been told that you can make your way to desolate, uninhabited beaches but my wife, J, and I ended up on somewhat populated islands. We did manage to get far enough away from one set of beach-goers that I was able to skinny dip and free-hike and J was able to go top-free for about an hour. All-in-all, I am sad to report that if unless you enjoy wearing a saggy, wet bathing suit, then Los Roques is not worth visiting.
