Visit Nueva Esparta


Nueva Esparta is a state situated along the Caribbean Sea in Venezuela. It is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and tourist destinations in the country. Isla Margarita, the main island of this state, offers a variety of attractions including Pampatar Beach, with its pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters; El Valle de la Pascua, where visitors can explore lush jungles and exotic wildlife; and La Restinga National Park which is known for its mangrove forests.

In terms of culture and history, Nueva Esparta has much to offer. Founded by Spanish explorer Alonso de Ojeda in 1499, it was one of the first states established in what would become Venezuela. It was also an important site during Simon Bolivar's independence movement from Spain. Today visitors can still visit monuments that commemorate this period such as El Castillo de Santa Rosa de Lima in Margarita Island which served as a fortress for Venezuelan forces during wars for independence.
