Puerto La Cruz | AllCheapFares

 

This is one of the biggest resorts of the whole country. Here you'll find everything: from luxury hotels, posh districts and enormous shopping centres to popular streets. Puerto la Cruz is undoubtely a very fun place! A walk throug the Paseo Colón in the sunshine is an unique experience, sitting in any restaurant and eat their famous empanadas will take you to glory. When getting around, you MUST go to Mochima, a National Park which has plenty of small islands with white-sandy beaches. You can go as well to Santa Fé, a little town up in the near mountain where you'll have superb views and the feeling of not being on the beach.
