Let us move towards the central part of Venezuela. In the State of Carabobo choose a place that surely will please most visitors, talking about Long Island, facing the beach Quizandal, which are easily accessible for public launch and the tour takes less than half an hour. When it comes to Long Island is necessary to provide good (do not forget insect repellent against mosquitoes), report that the island has no infrastructure for tourists (overnight option is doing in the tent permit must be requested prior to the authorities). On the island can only get food and drink in a few kiosks.
