First Day

Red Howler MonkeyFrom the comfort of our boat you have the chance (with a little luck) to observe a wide variety of flora and fauna - water hyacinth, pink dolphins, giant river otters, anacondas, and side neck turtles.

Along the riverbanks you will see Indian villages. Upon arrival at the Camp you will be shown to your private rooms. After lunch you will experience the wild, natural habitat of the virgin jungle from inside of a small wooden canoe.

When you return to the camp, you will be able to relax before dinner. If you wish, you may take a swim in the river (in winter time, when there are not so many Piranhas), or just sit and observe one of the fabulous delta sunsets. After a delicious dinner you will have the chance of enjoying the silence of the Orinoco river and listen to the dolphins, some days playing in front of the place.

The morning will see you navigate the Orinoco in search of the various species that live there - among the highlights are river dolphins and spectacled caiman in the water, capuchin and red howler monkeys up in the dense foliage, hummingbirds and kingfishers in the skies above.

After lunch on a beautiful spot inside the Delta, it’s back into the boats for a trip to some of the Warao villages (palafitos) that line the riverbanks in this part of the Orinoco. Your guide will explain about Warao culture, and the flow of the community's daily life – a truly fascinating experience. In the afternoon, just before returning we make a stopover to pick up our dinner. We will go out to a quiet spot in the river to do some Caribe fishing (this is the Venezuelan name for the Piranhas).

Back to camp and another evening trip around the lagoon we will have a special dinner and wait for the nightfall.

 

Third Day

At daybreak we go along the channels of the Delta to watch and hear awake the jungle. This is the time of day when the animals are most active facilitating observation. After having breakfast we make another roundtrip to places we haven't seen before and to learn everything about the flora of the delta.
After another delicious lunch, we take our boat back to our transportation. Tour starts and ends in Ciudad Bolivar, Puerto Ordaz, Maturin or Carupano.

 

The Tour may change, depending on water- levels, rainfalls and other natural forces.
