Hiking inland, except for the proverbial "Mad dogs and Engishmen", will be an activity, usually best restricted to the early morning and late afternoon hours. Most of our destinations will be dry and desert like - with vegetation limited to cacti and tough thorny trees.  In the cooler parts of the day, with the sun just above the horizon, hiking up to the hilltops with a good tough pair of hiking boots for protection from the cacti can provide some spectacular views.  This type of dry desert landscape, is also displayed in it's most  spectacular scenic splendor with the sun low on the horizon.

The exceptions, regarding hiking with the sun high in the sky, are the coastal rain forest of the Paria Peninsula, and the southern end of Mochima -  where plenty of shade and cool mountain streams permit comfortable hiking at any time of the day. Naturally, regardless of location, hiking along the coast whether on the beach or over the tidal rocks, with the nearby sea to cool off in, may also be pursued comfortably at any time of the day.

Exploring, Fishing, Kayaking, Sailing, Windsurfing, Snorkelling / Free Diving, Surfing,
"Hammock testing", Camping and Cruising

are among a wide variety of  other activities also available on-

Grand Illusion
Caribbean Camping Cruising Adventures
<Magic Carpet Catamarans

Our home base is on the island of Margarita - just a few miles off the coast of Venezuela and  south of the hurricane belt. Our cruising area stretches along the legendary Spanish Main between Trinided to the east and los Roques to the west.

This area, often referred to as "The Other Caribbean", encompasses many,
seldom visited, pristine tropical paradises; including:
La Blanquilla, Isla Tortuga, Los Testigos, Mochima, Golfo de Cariaco and
the coastal rain forest of the Paria Penisular.  

Grand Illusion, a fast, comfortable, 23 meter Magic Carpet Catamaran, will transport you, in  "Magic Carpet Fashion", to those rare moments in space and time, where fantasy and reality fuse and crystalize - into precious, sparkling gems.
