Early flight to Puerto Ordaz and drive to Orinoco (approximately 2 hours), where we transfer to a boat and set off to explore the Orinoco Delta (travel time - 3 hours).
Along the way, you can observe the life of the Indians on the banks of the river. If you're lucky, you can see river dolphins.

It is to the Warao Indians that modern Venezuela owes its name. Warao first made contact with Europeans shortly after Christopher Columbus reached the Orinoco Delta, and one of his companions, Alonso de Ojeda, decided to sail upstream. There, in the delta, Ojeda saw warao huts on characteristic stilts, balanced above the water. Similar architecture has been compared to Venice, with its famous canals below and buildings above. This new meeting extended the name Venezuela ("little Venice") to the whole country.

In the dry season, the waterfall almost dries up, but we will be right after the end of the rainy season, so all the waterfalls will appear before us in full glory!

In the afternoon, we will take a boat to Mayupa Savannah along the picturesque Moroco River, where we can observe wildlife and diverse vegetation, such as the Tree of Life and the Moriche Palm "aguaje" while enjoying the reflection of the stunning jungle in the water.

We will continue our journey to a waterfall in the heart of the gallery forest, where we can take a refreshing dip in Pozo Azul. Then, we will proceed with a 50-minute hike, this time uphill. A climb of 498 meters awaits us to the summit of Kuravaina Tepuy, offering a breathtaking landscape with an impressive view of the Kuraupa Valley and the Kurun and Kusari Tepuys.
