Venezuela Rock Climbing Landmarks | Sports Information

Venezuela, the sixth largest country in South America, has a tropical climate. It borders the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Having said that and also because of its nearness to the equator, Venezuela hardly goes through climatic differences. For the most part of the year, people experience warm and moist weather. The highlands, however, are granted a more tolerable condition.

Most South American countries take advantage of their climate by actively engaging into several sporting actions. Venezuela has its fair share, too! In fact, for the people, sports in Venezuela are not just spare time activities but permanent careers as well. No wonder sports play an important role in their lives. Baseball, football, tennis, and rock climbing – all these serve as an essential element of the enriching life of the Venezuelans.
