Underwater world:
After an almost 2 hour drive heading west, along the Gulf of Cariaco, you are going to reach the peaceful fishing village „Mochima“, in the same named national park. With a fisherboat you can cross in about 20 minutes the bay of Mochima (about $ 10 per boat) to reach the beautiful beach „Playa Blanca“, an ideal place for snorkeling and to get to know the colorful underwater world of the Caribbean Sea. Crystal-clear, warm water makes bathing and diving to an unforgettable event.
An ideal living space for corals, iguanas, dolphins, pelicans, yellow fish, blue fish, striped fish, polka-dotted fish, and big fish are the waters of the National Park Mochima.
And because of that, they are a paradise for relaxing at the beach, snorkeling and exploring the underwater world.
