EL YAQUE, MARGARITA, VENEZUELA
Basking in the Caribbean Ocean, facing the coast of Venezuela, Margarita Island is a treasure waiting to be discovered. Santiago's international airport is only 10 minutes away from your holiday destination and those well-deserved hours of pleasure.

El Yaque is a very popular destination thanks to hour upon hour of consistent winds for all levels of windsurfers. El Yaque's beach is located on the edge of a desert and benefits from the thermal effect that provokes exceptional winds all year round, the strongest of which occur from November to May.

The quaint village, within walking distance, is filled with restaurants, bars, boutiques and other services. The temperature averages 30 C, but the presence of almost constant winds mixed with the heat make the overall temperature very desirable.

The hosts at the Centre organise a meal for clients once a week. A gathering appreciated by guests.

THE ISLAND
Visit the island by Jeep or by car. In the middle of the island you will discover majestic mountains offering panoramic views, surrounded by a diversity of beaches and many forms of vegetation. Guides (English, French, German and Spanish) are easily available to visit with you.

Many other excursions on the continent and in the archival of Los Roques are offered.

Our goal is to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible, problem-free so that you can enjoy the sun, the wind and the ocean in a relaxing environment.

HEALTH
Vaccinations are not mandatory for Margarita. However, before your departure date, it is preferable to check with your local clinic to make sure that recommendations have not changed. If you plan to visit the continent and venture into tropical forests, get informed on what precautions should be taken prior to your trip.

The island's private clinics offer excellent services. Medical travel insurance is always recommended.

You must drink bottled water at all times. It is easy and inexpensive to stock up.
