Isla Margarita, located in the Caribbean Sea, is the largest of the three islands that make up the Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta.

We flew in from Buenos Aires (EZE) to Simon Bolivar (CCS) near Caracas, Venezuela. Then it took just a short 35 minutes on an Aeropostal flight from the CCS national terminal to arrive in Porlamar (PMV), the most populated city on Isla Margarita.

During our month on Isla Margarita, we visited just about all of the dozen or so beaches and explored most of the island. We also went on a few commercial tours, checked out the major tourist attractions, and enjoyed the laid back local culture.
