La Orchilla
From CrisisWiki
Introduction
La Orchila is a military base off the coast of Venezuela, north of Caracas. It has numerous beaches, including one where the sand is markedly pink (Arena Rosada). There is a presidential retreat on this island, and the residential complex reserved for the military houses consists mainly of elevated houses made of wooden logs. All the facilities are connected by pathways, mostly unpaved but smooth and clean.
