This place was built with good taste following the typical native pattern and fits perfect into its surroundings, offers comfort and a pleasant atmosphere. There are five double rooms or triple, each equipped with private bath, ventilators and mosquito nets. The lounge, which is the spacious “Churuata” serves as such and also is restaurant and bar. Here you may sit comfortably in one of the hand woven easy chairs and contemplate “father Orinoco” passing by while having a drink.

with a panoramic view over the Orinoco river.
2nd
day: We
visit some villages of the PIAROA tribe, learn about their way of life,
their agriculture and local plants, many of which are used for healing
purposes. They also show us how to make baskets, hammocks as well as traps
which are used for hunting. While walking through the jungle we can observe
the leaf cutter ants at work full speed. The afternoon offers recreation
- a natural Tobogan amidst all the wonders which surround us here will
end in some delicious pools. Great fun indeed!

trip on the Orinoco river
We
take a trip up stream, observe many small waters meeting the mighty river
and “inhale” lush and abundant vegetation all around us. With luck some
fresh water Dolphins might greet us, Otters and birds of course! You’ll
have enough time to take a swim or sunbathe on one of the water banks which
form during the dry season.

tour to Puerto Ayacucho
After
breakfast we visit the Capital of the Amazon State, renowned for its Museum
for Indigenous culture. On our visit to it, we can learn about the history
and customs of the various tribes living here. Afterwards we’ll take
a look at the colorful marketplace in town where you will find many attractive
handicrafts, made here by local people. This visit ends our trip here where
we leave you at the airport for yor flight to Caracas.
