Location
Located along
the shores of the tropical sea lagoon La Cienaga, Coral Lagoon Lodge
lies only 3 hours from Caracas airport and is nestled between the
mountains of Henri Pittier National Park and the Caribbean coastline.
Our waterfront location allows you to enjoy snorkeling, diving and
kayaking whilst discovering the tropical marine environments right off
our doorstep!
The secluded La Cienaga bay lends a special mystique to Coral Lagoon
Lodge, because the only way to get to the property is by a 20-minute
boat ride from the coastal village of Ocumare de la Costa! No trails, no
roads – only the sea itself to serve as your guide. |

To reach
ocumare de la costa |
By air: The nearest
major airports are located at Maracay (1.5 hrs) and Valencia (2 hrs),
but from the main airport in Caracas (3 hrs), the simplest way to reach
the lodge is to request us to collect you at the airport by taxi
(approx. US$110 for up to 3 persons depending on arrival date /
time). We’ll take care of the driving and quickly get you to Ocumare so
that you can get your holiday off to a relaxing start on the beach.
By bus: Alternately, numerous buses travel between Caracas to
Maracay to Ocumare. From Caracas Airport, reach the bus station 'la
Bandera' from where you can take a bus to Maracay. Once in Maracay, go
to the main bus station and catch a bus destined for Ocumare, El Playon.
The bus travels a spectacular route over a jungle-covered mountain
before descending to the coast. Once in Ocumare de la Costa, we will
transfer you to the pier (la Boca) where you take a 20-minute boat
transfer to Coral Lagoon Lodge. |

Late
evening arrivals can stay at De La Costa Eco-Lodge for the night
(approx. $70-$80 per person including dinner and breakfast – excludes beach
excursions and beverages) before continuing to Coral Lagoon Lodge the
following morning. |
