Hello steemers, today I comment on a place where I could spend my holidays, where I could taste this delicious seafood, and bathe in its crystal clear waters, this is the Morrocoy National Park,

The Morrocoy National Park is a national park located on the easternmost coast of the Falcón state and in the northwest of the Golfo Triste;
in the central western Venezuelan coast, near the towns of Boca de Aroa, Tucacas, Sanare, Chichiriviche, Flamenco and Tocuyo de la Costa.
It was declared a national park on May 26, 1974 and consists of 32,090 ha.

The park extends both terrestrial and aquatic areas of Golfo Triste, contains a mangrove area and a large number of islets or cays, among which are Borracho, Muerto, Sombrero, Sal, Las Animas and Peraza, among others, with spectacular beaches of white sands such as Mero beach, Paiclás, Punta Brava, Mayorquina, Playuela, Playuelita, Sur (popularly known as blue for the blue of its waters), North, Boca Seca, Playa Muerto and many more; as well as low (without shore) as Bajo Cayman, Tucupido and Los Juanes.

In the relief they emphasize the hill Morrocoy, with elevations of 250 msnm; the set of inlets and internal mangroves and the cays and islands.

There are also numerous marine reptiles, among which marine turtles such as the green turtle, the hawksbill turtle, the cardon turtle, the loggerhead turtle and the alligator of the coast, all considered in danger of extinction. Mammals include both marine mammals (dolphins, whales) that use the park as a refuge as well as the different terrestrial mammal species, which are mostly located in Cerro Chichiriviche.

The fish that reproduce in the park are the grouper, mixines, snapper, curbina, tarpon, sea bass, toadfish, dogfish, sardines, horse mackerel, corocoro, picúa, black cachama, as well as fish that live in the coral reefs. Among the mollusks and crustaceans: the mangrove oyster, sea hare, quigua,there are 2 types of lobster Panulirus argus -Panulirus grettatus, blue and red crabs, crabs, among other species. There is a diverse variety of insects, although there is not yet an information survey for the area.

Cayo Sal is a Venezuelan island in the southeast of the Caribbean Sea south of Cayo Borracho and north of Cayo Muerto and Cayo Peraza. Administratively it is part of the Falcon state in western Venezuela, being part of the Morrocoy National Park. It is a tourist destination known among the inhabitants of Venezuela. Its vegetation is basically made up of palm trees, it has a small chapel and it is named after a salt lake near the island.

On this vacation the island that I liked the most was "Cayo Sal". This island is very relaxing, and you can also enjoy its tasty dishes that are served at the restautant, such as "Garlic lobster with salad and tostones".
This lobster with garlic butter are all a delirium, with that fragrant touch no one can resist eating them. Its flesh is so soft and silky that eating it will be a delicacy.

Cayo Sal is always an excellent destination when choosing a beach in the Chichiriviche area. Just a few minutes from the piers,it has restaurant services (basic), awning services, etc. It is a very busy place because it has a long beach and its basic services.

If you prefer a more private site (although it does not have services) I recommend Cayo Peraza, a natural paradise, which is only a few minutes away. Excellent space for snorkeling and enjoy a great day at the beach. No doubt a place I'm dying to visit again.
