HOW TO GET TO PUERTO LA CRUZ?

349 kilometers from Caracas, on the east coast of Venezuela, Puerto La Cruz is located in the state of Anzoategui, which represents a unique and unparalleled experience when referring to it as a tourist destination. Arriving in the state of Anzoategui is very easy; through the José Antonio Anzoátegui International Airport, you can enter a flight both nationally and internationally. It can also be accessed by land taking a bus from any land terminal in the country.

This is one of the most important cities of Anzoátegui state due to its growing boom and great tourist attractions.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER THIS CITY?

Here I leave some options.

El Faro Island

It offers transparent and calm waters for the total enjoyment of lovers of adventures and natural well-being. It has toilets services, sale of food and drinks, awnings among others. It is part of the Mochima National Park, which borders the Miranda states and the Sucre state.

This is the place where you must escape when you need to release the stress of the city, here they meet as much as visitors as they enjoy carnivals and Easter, making this island a real floating party.

It is a place where people of all ages are concentrated, it is also a place where all the urban movement of our city is exposed since here the works of artisans, artists, singers, extreme sportsmen among others are exhibited.
