The waterfront location of our Coral Lagoon lodge offers you snorkelling, diving and kayaking right off our doorstep. Accessible only by sea, the lodge is a great place to get away from it all and relax swinging in a hammock on the waters edge under the shade of the mangrove trees.
You’ll find the Coral Lagoon of La Cienaga nestled between the mountainous forests of the Henri Pittier’s National Park’ Caribbean coastline, only 3 hrs drive from Caracas airport!
The coral lagoon’s reefs and its bordering mangroves teem with colourful parrot fish, angel fish, trumpet fish, lobsters, squid and octopus amongst many others, not to mention many types of flourishing hard and particularly soft corals. Taking a kayak and snorkelling gear you can set out to explore this unique coastal habitat and even catch a glimpse of sea turtles grazing on sea grass in the mornings! For nature lovers there are trails you can explore on foot that venture into totally virgin tropical forest and mangrove swamps where its possible to see puma and jaguar tracks, deer, snakes, scarlet ibis, ospreys, wild pigs, capuchin and howler monkeys just to mention a few!
Coral Lagoon Lodge offers accommodation in two cabins, with a total of 7 rooms for 2 to 4 people, with fans and en-suite facilities. Our multilingual host will ensure to make you feel at home and delight you with his cooking aswell as looking after your every wish. Meals are served under the shade of the mangrove trees allow you to contemplate the amazing views of the surrounding mountains and the turquoise waters of the lagoon. Hammocks, deckchairs, kayaks and snorkelling equipment are available for your enjoyment. We operate a free open bar offering local drinks were guests just help themselves.
Just a small distance from the lodge there are many unique diving sites where the accented coastline hides underwater grottos and canyons to explore. A ten minute boat ride away you can dive two locally renowned wrecks, the 'Carmen Fabiana', an impressive 10,000 ton freighter laying at 30 meters and the 'Gran Roque' a typical tug boat lying at 18 meters.
