SUNSET OVER THE DELTA

 

 

  Day 2
 

In the morning you will wake to the sounds of the jungle and then breakfast will be served at 8:00am.
After breakfast we will travel through the remote Guenamorena region of the Delta before journeying on to our rustic Jakara Camp. Here we board canoes and follow a small river that allows us to venture deep into the jungle.

Your Indian guide will locate an excellent spot for a perfect jungle walk and for those of you who have never been in the jungle before the experience is truly unforgettable. The silence of the jungle is occasionally interrupted by the strange cries of exotic birds while the pungent smells blend into the blanket of humidity.
There are dense galleries of crawling plants and giant trees competing for rations of scarce sun light under the lush jungle canopy.

After returning to camp for lunch we will visit the Warao Indians and take a rewarding glimpse into their way of life while discover many more smaller rivers systems and extensive vegetation.
We will return to the Orinoco Delta Lodge at 18:30pm and dinner will be served at 20:00pm.

  Day 3
 

After breakfast we will travel through the remote Guenamorena region of the Delta before journeying on to our rustic Jakara Camp. Here we board canoes and follow a small river that allows us to venture deep into the jungle.
Your Indian guide will locate an excellent spot for a perfect jungle walk and for those of you who have never been in the jungle before the experience is truly unforgettable. The silence of the jungle is occasionally interrupted by the strange cries of exotic birds while the pungent smells blend into the blanket of humidity.
There are dense galleries of crawling plants and giant trees competing for rations of scarce sun light under the lush jungle canopy.

After lunch we begin our trip to the mouth of the Orinoco River at the northern edge of the Orinoco Delta on the Atlantic Ocean. This is where the fresh glossy Orinoco waters merge with the sea. Here Christopher Columbus, on his third expedition to the new world, decided that he had discovered a new continent and not an island because of the tremendous amount of fresh water pouring out from the river.
Noticing the extensive vegetation and the giant mangrove trees lining the shores, he said "this must be the earthly paradise".

In the afternoon we will arrive at the Cotura Island to witness one of the most spectacular sunsets on Earth. On the border line of the Orinoco and the Atlantic, this Island is home to thousands of birds returning from a busy day feeding. The sounds of Parrots, Parakeets, Scarlet Ibis, Egrets, Spoon Bill and many more gathering to sleep fills the air with a spectacular symphony.
Drinks will be served on the boat then back we head to the Orinoco Atlantic Lodge where you can enjoy cocktails at our cozy bar overlooking the river.
Dinner is served at 20:00pm.
You will be sleeping in comfortable cabins with beds and private bathrooms.
