El Copey is the highest point on Margarita and the island’s biggest surprise. You set off from the valley among cactus and halfway up the landscape changes completely: ferns, moss, hanging bromeliads and mist. At the top it is genuinely cold. It is a national park, the trail is marked, and from the clearings you see the Caribbean on both sides at once.
