I was fortunate to visit a couple of tourism cooperatives on my most recent visit to Venezuela. The first was in Galipan, located in El Avila National Park in Caracas, although it was a total escape from the chaos of Caracas. Several families have come together to form a group of cooperatives - tourism (a posada and restaurant), education (a community centre), transportation and agriculture. This link will take you to a brief slide show of the experience. It is a beautiful place perched high in the mountains. On a clear day you have the whole Caribbean in front of you!! The last couple of photos are from another tourism cooperative in Sanare - Posada Los Cerritos. Click on "slideshow" for the best views.
