'La Orchila' is a military base off the coast of
Venezuela. It has numerous beaches, including one where the sand is markedly pink (Playa Rosada). The highest peak with 139 m is Cerro Walker.
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. There is also a court for
bolas criollas. All the facilities are connected by pathways, mostly unpaved but smooth and clean.
