La Palafita, Los Roques, Venezuela

The Los Roques islands are a federal dependency of Venezuela, consisting of about 350 islands, cays or islets. The archipelago is an atoll located 80 miles (128 km) directly north of the port of La Guaira, and is a 40-minute flight from Caracas. Being almost an untouched coral reef, it attracts many visitors, especially from Europe, some of which come in their own yachts and anchor in the inner, protected shallow waters. However, development and tourism are controlled.

Because of the wide variety of seabirds and rich aquatic life, the Venezuelan government declared Los Roques a National Park in 1972.

It is scarcely populated, having about 1,500 permanent inhabitants; however it receives approximately 70,000 visitors a year, many of them day-visitors who come from Caracas and the mainland. The most important island is El Gran Roque ("the big rock"). It is the only populated island in the group and has an airport suitable for small or STOL aircraft, Los Roques Airport, with freshly repaved RWY 07/25 (1000 x 26 meters). The airport is controlled from the Maiquetía airport on the mainland. Other important islands are Francisqui, Nordisqui, Madrisqui and Crasqui.

Activities include fishing (bonefish, barracuda, tarpon, jack (Carangidae) and Spanish mackerel), birding, snorkling, diving, kite-surfing and there is a sea turtle research center located on El Gran Roque. Accommodations include Pez Raton Lodge, a property primarily used to host fishing guests, and Posada Mediterraneo, a 5-room inn which accommodates non-fishing guests.

The Madagascar Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vociferoides) is classified as "Critically Endangered". The world population is estimated at around 120 breeding pairs (R. Watson in litt. 2010). The annual breeding success seems to be very low, but the individual life expectancy seems to be high.

The Ankarafantsika National Park is a good place to see Madagascar Fish Eagles in the wild. There are several watchtowers around Lake Ravelobe and eagles can also be seen from the roadside. This picture of a pair was taken in the evening, in poor light conditions, next to the road N4 that crosses the National Park.

It’s one of the favorite sports in Lisbon: fishing in the Tagus river. I don’t know if the fish are tasty, but a lot of people do it.
