Los Roques is a collection of islands about 50 miles
north of Venezuela. With lots of white sandy beaches
it's a popular day trip or weekend trip for
Venezuelans. They are protected on the east side by a
large reef, and small islands dot the eastern, northern
and western side of a very large group of central
islands which are entirely restricted as a wildlife
sanctuary. The printed and electronic charts were not
very accurate, but the Doyle guide's sketch charts were
excellent.
