Cayo Peraza, Protected island in Morrocoy National Park, Venezuela
White sand stretches along the shoreline of Cayo Peraza, where clear waters reveal an underwater world filled with coral reefs and tropical fish.
Juan Manuel de Peraza, a Spanish conquistador who explored the Venezuelan coast during colonial times, gave his name to this small Caribbean island.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices around Cayo Peraza, supplying fresh seafood to nearby coastal communities and maintaining maritime traditions.
Access to Cayo Peraza requires hiring a boat from Tucacas, and visitors should bring their own supplies as no permanent facilities exist on the island.
The coral reef system surrounding Cayo Peraza creates multiple natural pools where various species of fish gather during high tide.
