Coro

Close to the north coast of Venezuela is the charming little city Coro. It is a student centre and demonstrates a rich portfolio of colonial character. The colonial remains in Venezuela are however in general less significant than in the neighbouring Colombia but the place is still worth a visit.

The area around Coro is very dry and outside the city is a desert landscape located, containing sand dunes of some 'mini-Saharan' style, of up to 30 metres high.
