We continue our trip through Venezuela, exploring the richness of the Falcón state, a treasure in the Northwest of the country that offers a diversity of landscapes and experiences, from the historic city of Coro to Medanos de Coro.
Located on Venezuela’s northwestern coast, Falcon state welcomes travelers with its sun-kissed shores and diverse landscapes. In one day you can explore the history of the State’s capital city: Coro, drive by the dunes and end up in crystal clear waters. Here’s our little guide to explore part of Falcon state, from historic city of Coro to Medanos de Coro.
Our tour took us to the city of Coro (main photo), a UNESCO World Heritage site. This colonial city captivated us with its unique architecture and cobblestone streets, transporting us through time as we admired its charming colonial houses and explored its historic squares.
What to visit while in Coro?
Wander through the historic district, Plaza Bolívar where the Cathedral of Santa Ana stands with grandeur. Stroll around the Paseo Talavera which it’s beautiful. Near by you’ll find Museo de Arte de Coro, Casa del Artesano Coro, Casa de Las Ventanas de Hierro and Museo Guadalupano. Just strolling around the area is a walk to the past, beautiful colonial area you cannot miss.
From the historic city of Coro to Medanos de Coro
Beyond the city, we venture into the impressive Medanos de Coro (the dunes), a landscape of golden dunes that extend infinitely. We experienced the thrill of sliding down these undulating dunes, enjoying the natural grandeur that constantly changes with the sunlight and wind, so pay attention if you are driving because many times, the roads are block by the sand.
Historic city of Coro to Medanos de Coro and beautiful beaches!
If you continue the road after the dunes, you’ll get to Adicora, a paradise for wind and kitesurf lovers. It welcomed us with its constant breezes and impressive scenery. Its long beaches and serene atmosphere are perfect for those seeking thrills in water sports or for those who simply want to relax in peaceful surroundings. Beautiful little town to see.
In this peninsula you can drive from Adicora to the city of Punto Fijo and other beaches as Playa Manaure.
In this state there is also the Morrocoy National Park, which it’s the paradise, breathtaking, don’t forget to read more about it here.
