Publisher: UNKNO, 2003

From the publisher of the legendary South American Handbook comes this comprehensive guide to the country with the longest coastline in the Caribbean -- a vast 1,550-mile stretch! But there's more to Venezuela than just sand, as readers of this thoroughly revised third edition will find out. In fact, with attractions ranging from the aforementioned beaches to jagged Andean peaks to the awesome Angel Falls to the colorful hustle and bustle of Caracas, this South American destination has something for every taste. A new-and-improved table of contents and a new front map highlighting the best sights help visitors plan their trip, and full-color maps cross-referenced with the text aid readers in deciding where to stay, eat, and take in the local culture. Sixteen pages of full-color photographs inspire travelers to delve into adventure sports and special-interest activities, from paragliding in the high mountains of Merida in the Andes to island scuba diving on the west coast.
