For wildlife lovers, La Restinga National Park is like a dream come true. Its lush mangrove
forests supports an assortment of flora and fauna and highlights for visitors include sightings
of birds such as pygmy owls or parakeets and perhaps land animals like the white tailed deer
and cotton-tailed rabbits. Located on the east side of the island, La Restinga National Park is

Centro Comercial La Vela, Porlamar
Visitors to the island who are hoping for a break from the endless sun and sea that characterizes
the typical Caribbean vacation can visit Centro Comercial La Vela, Porlamar for a day of shopping.
This mall, one of the largest on the island, has a impressively wide variety of stores and a food court
which also provides a wide variety of food choices. A good place for a pleasant respite.
