Covering a total area of 40.61 km2, the Los Roques archipelago comprises more than 350 uninhabited cays, islands, and islets and is situated about 128 km to the north of the La Guaira in Venezuela. Los Roques is scarcely populated, having about 2,000 permanent inhabitants mostly in its main Island, El Gran Roque. It is very safe, clean and popular among foreign tourists and Venezuelans alike. Colorful lodges and private houses are the main constructions. No cars and streets of sand, is part of its charm.
All are welcome to visit but US citizens are subject to extra fees and scrutiny. If you are active or retired military best to avoid the place.

Marina Chiapas update
There was a tsunami related to the September 7 8.1 magnitude earthquake. It lifted the floating docks free of the piling system and caused significant damage to the marina, however it is operating on a best efforts basis. None of the boats in the marina seem to have suffered any damage, and none of the cruisers or staff there were injured.
