F8X5+5F4, Cuyagua Bahía, Cuyagua, Ocumare de la Costa, Venezuela
Highlights
Experience the raw beauty of a pristine shoreline framed by the lush peaks of Henri Pittier National Park. This iconic beach is the surf capital of the region, boasting consistent waves that draw enthusiasts from across the globe. Between sets, the atmosphere transforms as local drum troupes fill the salty air with hypnotic afro-venezuelan rhythms. The golden sands offer plenty of space for setting up camp under a canopy of stars near the river mouth.
The journey to the coast is an adventure in itself, winding through ancient cloud forests before revealing the turquoise horizon. Once there, the absence of massive hotels ensures an authentic and unpretentious connection with nature. It is a place where time slows down, dictated only by the tides and the sunset over the Caribbean Sea.
Gastronomy is a sensory delight here, with freshly caught red snapper served directly on the sand by local vendors. The juxtaposition of the cold freshwater river meeting the warm ocean creates a unique swimming experience for those seeking a refreshing rinse.
Photography enthusiasts will find endless inspiration in the dramatic contrasts of the deep blue water against the vibrant green mountainside. Whether you are catching your first wave or relaxing in a hammock, the scenic vistas provide a world-class backdrop.
