The dunes of Coro
The Coro dunes are located near this city. There is a separate entrance to the park, but you can go down the road that leads to Paraguaná.
Part of a national park established to protect them. It is a must for all tourists, having fun climbing and rolling down its slopes.
There, every day is carried out a ruthless campaign, when the sands are covering what few trees there, to drown them and turn them into snags. In fact, the dunes are not static: the effect of wind are moving every day.
In these pages we want to reflect a unique event, according to the memory of rangers consulted had never happened before. It is the formation of four gaps, following the rains in Venezuela in December 1999, causing the tragedy of Vargas State. We clarified that this was something that happened once and most likely not be repeated in years. The water will slowly evaporate, and soon these gaps disappear.
