Medanos de Coro National Park

in #national7 years ago

Today I'd like to tell you about another National Park from my country. Médanos de Coro National Park (Parque Nacional Los Médanos de Coro) is a Venezuelan national park located in the state of Falcón, near the city of Coro on the road that leads to Paraguaná. The National Park was created in 1974. The park is easily reached by bus or taxi from Coro.
It lies on the Médanos Isthmus and covers 91 km2 (35 sq mi) of desert and coastal habitat, including salt marshes. It is made up of three zones: an alluvial plain, formed by the delta of the Mitare River and some smaller streams; an aeolian plain, composed of three types of dunes; and a littoral plain with a belt of mangrove swamps. The massive sand dunes, known as Médanos, spread over an area of approximately 5 by 30 km (3.1 by 18.6 mi). They can reach 40 m (130 ft) in height and are constantly transformed by the unrelenting wind. It's wonderful place to visit with kids. they'll love rolling around the dunes and there are some desert buggies in which you can ride with expert riders. 800px-MedanosdeCoro.jpg Falcon_medanos.jpgMedanos.jpgEntrada_al_parque_desde_el_paseo_Monseñor_Iturriza.jpgfoto_buggies_01.jpgOceano-Dunes-with-kids-copy.jpgsinging-sand-dunes.jpgKids Sand Dune.jpg
