First Day
Our excursion starts in San Jose de Buja at the Delta where our boat will be waiting for you on the river. The moment you step on the boat, you will have the first sense of the jungle. ½ hour ride will take you to the camp, where you will check in and can have something to drink / eat. Afterwards you will go out with a canoe to get a first feeling of the extraordinary surroundings.
Lunch & Relax.
In the afternoon we will take a boat to go through some of the small channels in the delta to the wet land, where you will see a slightly different fauna and flora: horned screamers, water buffalos, herons and – with lots and lots of luck – an anaconda.
Piranha fishing (we will give you poles and bait the hooks with raw meat – and if you catch one, we will gladly prepare it for your dinner), beautiful sunset there with a "Cuba Libre".
There will be an option for a night trip to search the nocturnal world of brown caimans and snakes. This will be available before or after dinner.
Dinner & Socializing.
Second Day
Early in the morning you will be woken by the calls of chirping birds and howler monkeys communicating across the jungle. Coffee / tea will be served. At this time we will give you the chance to go on the river in a hand crafted dug-out canoe. Here we will give you oars and a Warao pilot to assist you in a short venture where you can experience the dawning of a sunrise on the Orinoco Delta. This is a time when the environment prepares itself for the coming heat of the sun and is often the best time to observe the wildlife.
Breakfast.
At the morning excursion, a Warao guide will locate an ideal place in the jungle where you will take a walk and get a feeling of life inside this unforgiving environment as well as experience the way how the Waraos use this extraordinary flora for their life. For those who have never been in the jungle before, this experience is unforgettable.
The pungent smells around you are blending with a blanket of humidity and galleries of crawling plants and giant trees racing for rations of scarce sunlight.
Rubber boots (available in camp).
You will also visit the Waraos and learn some interesting facts about their life style. They sell beautiful handicrafts, made of the fibers of the Moriche palm and dried seeds.
Lunch & Relax
Opportunity to fish Piranhas, go by canoe or just relax in a hammock.
In the afternoon you will return to San Jose de Buja.
