Mochima National Park is the second marine park decreed in the country, it is shared with the state of Sucre, it gathers several islands and islets such as Chimanas, Mono, Picuda Grande, Caracas, Venado, borracha.
On the coastal side it occupies a mountainous area with a group of beaches, gulfs and coves.
The mountainous part is made up of sedimentary rocks of steep relief with slopes that fall abruptly towards the sea.
They are giant cliffs devoid of vegetation, which form strange figures in the stone.
The coastal vegetation is essentially thorny, where cactus and shrubs such as cuji, dividivi, yacure, guamacho, espinito and retama predominate.
Towards the insular sector there are three species of buttonwood mangrove.
Ascending there is an area where species like the vera palo santo, the guatacaro, the jobo pelón, the cardón and the araguaney can be observed.
From the 900 m above sea level, the premontane rainforest appears.

Sea birds abound in this area, such as the gull, the gannet and the earwig.
Towards the heights are the paraulata, the maraquera pigeon, the guacharaca and the conoto.
Among the few mammals that inhabit the cloudy areas are the cachicamo, the lapa, the jaguar, the fox and the capuchin monkey.
On the islands of the park, fauna is scarce and consists of lizards and iguanas.
Marine species are abundant such as: sardine, mackerel, horse mackerel, cataco, lampara, yellowfin and blackfin tuna, lebranche, mullet, mojarra and snook; while in the depths species like corocoro, snapper, grouper, curvina, roncador, cazón, the blue shark and widow are abundant.
The coves are rich in crustaceans and molluscs.
