Chaguarama de Sotillo
Chaguarama de Sotillo sits on the wild Paria Peninsula—Venezuela's easternmost surf frontier. The reef and sand mix bottom produces quality waves on the constant E-NE trade swell, and the remoteness means you'll often surf alone. The surrounding cacao farms, hot springs, and thick jungle make this one of the most adventurous surf destinations in the Caribbean.
