Margarita Island | Half-day Around the Island

Pick-up at hotel and guided tour around the island. Our first stop is Margarita's capital, La Asunción. Its cathedral is one of the oldest churches in South America, and its castle, Santa Rosa, offers a great panoramic view. We continue to the town of El Valle, nestled in the mountains. This is the birthplace of Santiago Mariño, a heroe of the Venezuelan independence. We will visit his beautifully restored colonial home, and the nearby pink and white neo-Gothic chapel, home to the shrine of the Virgin of the Fishermen. We continue to the picturesque bay of Juan Griego, where we can enjoy a beautiful view from its fort, Fortín de la Galera.
