Orinoco
Delta of the Orinoco
Impressive entrance to the Atlantic Ocean, covers an area of 40,240 sq km, its width did exclaim Cristoforo Colombo, in the belief that you are not in the delta and, when they tasted the water, " I have never seen so much fresh water in a sea of salt water. " The 40,240 sq km are made up of marshes and mangrove forests are crossed by channels that exist there. Many channels are transformed into small islands where the
current fails to carry the various sediments. The islands are formed generally in the form diun plate with raised edges and well-grown, called "Bancos" and depressions in the center covered by 'water' the Cubetas ". The population of Delta Amacuro, called wara, living on piles and main activities
for their livelihood are fishing and 'craft, which is the basis of indigenous industry because they, through the palm of Morice, produce baskets that create pretty colors extracted from the plant itself and weave beautiful baskets and hammocks. Catholic missions, which help the Indians much in the growth and in 'education in place in since 1682, are the only link with civilization and our world. Delta in the climate is tropical humid, with temperatures ranging between 28 ° and 32 °. During the excursions we recommend minirsi of water for shelter from the rain and the splashing of water that rise from the river to the boat during navigation Delta Amacuro The program is recommended for those who feel motivated to discover people, places and customs that have nothing to do with modern civilization, so to those who choose the making of this program, we recommend a great spirit of adaptability due to the lack of comfort that are typical of the hotels and some discomfort due to organizational and logistical problems. At the same time is required for all programs that follow a minimum of physical fitness.
Our proposals provide for two types of program and two types of accommodations. The first, with comfortable accommodation (Rancho San Andres)
provides a lighter, less demanding, the second instead provides navigation to the inside of the delta with more Spartan accommodation (Mis Palafitos Field) and a more adventurous in the channel of the great Delta, especially during the making the same experiences rain events (among other quite frequently). Both programs still make perfectly the idea of what the Delta and how
indigenous communities living Wara.
