We only have left to mention you some souvenir stores we invite you to visit when traveling to Los Roques, so there are no excuses for you to share with your friends and family a piece of your amazing adventure to the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.
Some souvenir stores you can visit in the archipelago:
Marta's little shop
In a small street that connects the Plaza Bolivar to the beach, in front of Posada Sol y Luna and sideway of Posada Natura Viva, next to this store there is also a bodeguita (small drugstore). Its facade is very colorful and is run by Marta and her young partner, both very friendly and offering an unsurpassed attention! This little store is very pretty, filled with details and its decoration reflects the great care and love that both ladies bestow to this special shop. Here you'll find clothes and all sorts of colorful souvenirs.
El Canto de la Ballena (Song of the Whale)
In front of Gran Roque beach, on the west side of the island. About 5-10 minutes walk by the beachside from the airstrip or the pier, near National Guard house. In this shop you will find mainly clothes and jewelry. There's also a posada (lodge) and a cafe-bar with the same name... all of them full hippie style and good vibes!
Aquarena Café-Bar-Shop
Walking down the street that runs from the airstrip and along the lagoon, take the bridge on the left and a few steps before reaching the Plaza Bolivar is Aquarena. You can also walk by the seashore. Here you'll find souvenirs and small details. In Aquarena also operates one of the most popular nightlife places of Gran Roque so before you take a few cocktails visit the lobby and select the item that you like ;)
Luna Blu
This little shop is just in front of Plaza Bolívar, next to Posada Doña Carmen. They sell souvenirs and very cute ornaments though the man in charge wouldn't let us take pictures :(
It is unusual for Venezuelans travel within our own country and bring souvenirs to friends and loved ones. However, when we travel to a natural paradise so desired by all venezuelans such as Los Roques is when even the smallest detail of our itinerary is revealed to everybody around us.. who wouldn't? undertake the adventure of reaching the third most unspoiled spot in the world is a journey worthy of showing off to everyone! So, don't miss a visit to the little stores we suggested you ;)
