Isla La Tortuga island

Isla La Tortuga is an island in the Caribbean Sea of Venezuela. This is the only available option, that has nothing common with Los Roques archipelago or with Margarita Island. As for beaches or attractions, it is not so good like islands noted above. Most of Tortuga island is rocky desert. However, there are still good white sand beaches, - especially near Chelonia Resort. There are also mangroves in the southeast, as well as neighboring islets with good snorkeling. There are always just a few tourists in Tortuga Island. So this is a great destination for wealthy tourists looking for something special. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Coordinates: 10.937321, -65.312371

Hotels [edit]

Chelonia Eco Village is a hotel with rooms' rates starting from US$500 per night. Their service is rather mediocre. However, exclusive location worth it all!

In addition, in case of boat tours, overnight accommodation is sometimes possible on a yacht or catamaran. You may try to search for this option: Alojamiento Cama Carpa y Yate Isla La Tortuga Venezuela.
