Médanos de Coro National Park is a Venezuelan national park located in the state of Falcón, near the city of Coro on the road that leads to Paraguaná. The National Park was created in 1974. The park is easily reached by bus or taxi from Coro. The Médanos park protects part of the Paraguana xeric scrub ecoregion. It lies on the Médanos Isthmus and covers 91 km2 of desert and coastal habitat, including salt marshes. It is made up of three zones: an alluvial plain, formed by the delta of the Mitare River and some smaller streams; an aeolian plain, composed of three types of dunes; and a littoral plain with a belt of mangrove swamps. The massive sand dunes, known as Médanos, spread over an area of approximately 5 by 30 km . They can reach 40 m in height and are constantly transformed by the unrelenting wind. Rainfall is rare.
