Southern Caribbean Travel Guide
 Southern Caribbean travel guides are a must-have if
you plan to visit. Southern Caribbean is that region of South American
consisting of the nations that border the Caribbean Sea – Colombia and
Venezuela. Due to the region’s closeness to the equator, its climate is
very tropical, which of course makes it a popular destination for those who
want beaches and sand in their vacation itinerary.
From the Caribbean
coast, the bulk of Venezuela rises instantly and green like the bulging muscles
bursting through a comic hero’s shirt. To the Spaniards, everything would
have seemed wild and yet to be controlled. From world’s highest
uninterrupted cataract, the Rio Churun, to the arching bridge spanning Lake
Maracaibo, much of the interior of Venezuela is still to be settled, even
today.
In 1533, the Spanish founded a city that would become known as
the Queen of the Indies. Yet, even without the added attraction of its colonial
heritage, Colombia’s Cartagena is in the perfect position in the Caribbean
Sea as to make it an attractive tourist destination.
Below are some
