For my summer vacation I visited the beautiful Venezuela, located in South America. While in Venezuela, I visited several attractions that were wonderful! However, I had a pretty strange experience at the Colonia Tovar. While I was sitting on the porch of nice restaurant, I saw this weird looking monkey sitting on a tree near my table. It was pretty cute but he liked to spit on anybody who walked by him. I was about to go take a look at him when the waitress warned me that "Buster" wasn't a very friendly monkey.... Well, after seeing Buster the monkey, I went to see some of the "old world" buildings at the Colonia Tovar. The town had wonderful buildings that were so interesting to look at because of the rustic feel they had.

After visiting the town of Colonia Tovar, I visited the Angel Falls. How could you go to Venezuela and not go to the Angel Falls! So, I did just that and headed to the enormous waterfall. It was undoubtedly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! As I stood on the ledge that was filled with many tourists, I could feel the subtle spray of the rushing water. Visiting the Angel Falls was definitely 
a great experience.

The last place that I went to was the Sierra Nevada National Park. At the park, I was able to go on various trails and explore the beautiful mountains. My favorite trail at the Sierra Nevada was a very long one that went around the side of the mountain and up to a beautiful plateau. It felt like I was on top of the world! It was truly magnificent! All in all, I definitely enjoyed my vacation in Venezuela, South America, and would love to go there again.
