Lake Maracaibo is a faulty tectonic lake in the northern section of the Andes, with a narrow mouth and a wide mouth, 190 km long from north to south, 115 km wide from east to west, a shoreline of about 1,000 km long, an area of 13,400 square kilometers, shallow north and deep in the south, with a maximum depth of 34 meters and a volume of 280 million cubic meters.
Lake Maracaibo is famous for its natural beauty and abundant oil resources. Lake Maracaibo is the world's most productive and oldest oil lake, with more than 90 years of history. Lake Maracaibo is known as the richest lake in the world, and as far as the eye can see, there are many derricks on the lake, and there are more than 7,000 oil wells in the entire lake area, with an annual output of more than 70 million tons of crude oil. Lake Maracaibo is also rich in fishery resources, rich in fish and shrimp, and aquaculture is also carried out in many parts of the lake.
Lake Valencia
Lake Valencia is an inland lake located between the states of Caravovo and Aragua in northern Venezuela. The lake is 410 meters above sea level, with an average depth of 18 meters and a maximum depth of 39 meters; it is 30 kilometers long and covers an area of 350 square kilometers, making it the second natural lake in Venezuela after Lake Maracaibo.
Lake Valencia was formed as a result of geological faults and later the damming of the Valencian River, about two to three million years ago. Historically, the lake was depleted for a time, but later the level of the lake was raised due to the influx of some nearby large rivers. At present, the lake is not only an important water supply station for cotton, sugarcane, tobacco, maize, coffee, fruits and other crops along the nearby coast, but also a famous tourist scenic spot, an excellent place for water sports, entertainment and a natural recreation resort.
Tropical snow-capped mountains of Merida
Located on the southern shore of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela, the Tropical Snowy Mountains of Merida resemble a pearl in a sea of green trees, embedded in alpine valleys. There are white-flowing streams, sugar cane plantations and coffee plantations along the banks of the streams, and endless rainforests. In Merida, there are five peaks, covered in snow all year round, and the white snow crown is like a white eagle that falls on the tip of the mountain, and people call these five peaks 5 eagles. Among the five peaks, Yuzhu Peak is 5,000 meters high, which is the highest point in the country. In honor of Bolivar, The Jade Pillar Peak was named Bolivar Peak.
There is the world's highest and longest cable car at sea level, which is a good choice when taking a cable car tour. At the same time, you can see the vegetation of the four regions of tropical, subtropical, temperate and cold zones, including dotted white plants, 86 species of plants unique in the world, purple and yellow unknown flowers, and coniferous forests in the cold zone. At the top of the mountain, the mountain has completely lost its green life, and there is no grass, it seems that under such climatic conditions, even plants can hardly survive, and only the white snow can withstand the loneliness here.
Tufted Sparrow Nan Waterfall
Located in the mountains of Venezuela, Tuquenan Falls is the second largest and longest waterfall in the country. This is a three-level waterfall, one of which is 670 meters long, known as the second and highest three-level waterfall in the world, and some people call this magnificent scene the 11th highest "long river" in the world.
The terrain at both ends of the tuque nan waterfall is dangerous, the walls are upright, and it is very spectacular, and a large number of tourists come here every year. However, due to the limitations and differences of topographic conditions, surveying and mapping techniques and measurement standards, the height of the waterfall and its ranking in the world have been controversial, resulting in a huge difference in the ranking of the longest waterfall in the world from the second to the twentieth place, and it has been ranked differently in different publications and websites.
Bird Hole National Park
Bird Hole National Park is located about 12 kilometers from the city of Calibe in monagas state of Venezuela, and there is a limestone cave more than 10 meters long in the center of the park, which is home to thousands of oily owls. The oil plover is a bird of the nighthawk family, the only species in the monotype family Lycopidae. It is endemic to South America and is found mainly in the tropical forests of the Foothills of the Andes from Bolivia to Venezuela, but also in Panama and Trinidad.
It is 41–48 cm long, with wings spread up to 0.91 m wide, a strong beak, hooks at the ends, small claws, most of the body reddish brown, and white spots on the nape of the neck and wings. This species of bird inhabits caves and has an echo localization function. Today, the limestone caves of Bird Hole National Park and the surrounding forests have been classified as protected areas to facilitate the breeding of oily owls.

Steep cliffs and waterfalls up to 1,000 meters high make up the unique landscape of Kanema National Park. Kanema National Park is home to vast savannas. On locally damp swampy lands, the soil is relatively fertile and trees grow. Forests are found only in wet depressions and canyons under Table Mountain.

Kanema Park doesn't have many animals, but the diversity is outstanding. According to statistics, there are about 118 species of mammals, 550 species of birds, 72 species of reptiles and 55 species of amphibians. It is a refuge for precious animals such as mountain lions and jaguars. The geological rock formations of Naima National Park are constantly eroded by sunlight and rain over time, forming the famous Table Mountain.
From a distance, it stands in the middle of a dense, flat, endless rainforest, which is very spectacular. Between table mountains are wide valleys that are very flat and grow dense rainforest. The river flows down Table Mountain, forming numerous waterfalls. Frog Falls, Little Frog Falls, Wide Falls, etc. are all famous attractions.

The waterfall is divided into two levels, first cascading down 807 meters, landing on a rock shelf, and then falling 172 meters, landing in a large pool at the foot of the mountain 152 meters wide. Up close, look at the waterfall like a flying rainbow of lightning, and look at its softness and moon cage light yarn in the distance. Whenever the morning and dusk, the clouds fill the top of the cliff, only to see the waterfall flying down from the cliff, like a heroic silver dragon descending from the sky, emitting a rumbling thunder. Angel Waterfall cascades down, splashing all over the valley, if in the sunlight, there is a beautiful rainbow hanging on the soft water mist, as if someone sprinkled a colorful exercise, teasing this strange roaring dragon, coupled with the waterfall on both sides of the vines entangled with towering ancient trees and rugged mountain stones, making it even more magnificent...
