The islands that conform this chain are located 11�48'-11�58' north latitude and 66�32'-66�52' west longitude, in the middle of the formation there is an oval-shaped lagoon, surrounded by all the islands, with a depth of 1 to 5mts.

Venezuela's official language is Spanish. However, English, German and French are widely spoken, specially among tourism-specialized personnel.

Airlines:
Air Transportation is the most convenient way to travel between Caracas and Margarita to Los Roques. We suggest for your convenience LTA Airlines (L�nea Tur�stica Aereotuy) - Flight Duration: a) From Aeropuerto Internacional Sim�n Bol�var, Caracas: 30 minutes. B) From Aeropuerto Internacional Santiago Mari�o, Margarita Island: 50 minutes. - Type of Planes: a) Caravane - 12 seats. b) Dornier - 18 seats. c) Dash - 40 seats. Population: Including fishermen, workers and inhabitants of the region, in Los Roques there is an average of 1,000 people altogether.

Transportation:
LTA provides transportation between the Great Roque and the other principal cayos, scheduled every day with several departure and arrival times. To hop among islands you can rent a "pe�ero" (typical fishing motor boat). Pe�eros are sailed by local fishermen, who charge a small fee. You can do some planning in advance and set a drop-off and pick-up time, agreeing with the pilot of your pe�ero, if you want to visit a specific cayo, for example. Once inside the cayos, you don�t really need any other mean of transportation.

Documents Needed:
To enter Venezuela you must have a valid passport and plane ticket. In Los Roques you must also carry your ID, since you will need it to make payments (with credit cards, mostly).
