Side Trips in Isla de Margarita

Perhaps the most popular excursions from Margarita are to either Los Roques or Canaima and Angel Falls. By far the most established company making trips to both destinations is Aerotuy (tel. 0212/212-3110; www.tuy.com), although there's often a cattle-car feel to their operation, and the price is hefty. The cost for the Los Roques day trip is BsF860 per person; to Canaima and Angel Falls, the cost is BsF1,716 per person. The fares for children are roughly half price, and rates are slightly lower during the low season and midweek.
