Dependências Federais Capital Gran Roque The only village of the Los Roques archipelago and the capital of the Federal Dependencies, on an island of about 3 km with rocky hills on the north side and a beach on the south side. The streets are sandy, the colorful houses have become guesthouses and there are no cars circulating. The runway is by the beach, and boats to the cays depart from the pier. On top of the hill is the Faro Holandés.
