The massive Anaconda, perhaps the largest and certainly the heaviest snake on Earth, is easy to find in drying swamps. There are also immense herds of Capybara (the largest rodent in the World) as well as Llanos Deer and thousands of Birds: Herons, Egrets, Storks, Raptors, Vultures, Ducks, Cormorants, Geese, Terns, Hummingbirds, ibis, cormorants, egrets, jacanas, gallinules and darters. It’s is also one of the best places in Venezuela for rafting. Los Llanos changes dramatically according to the season, from a dry expanse of ranchland in the winter to a vast shallow lake in the summer.
After your wildlife safari ,party with “Llaneros” under a blanket of stars. Llaneros are the hard-working cowboys of Venezuela, famous for the joropos music they play on the cuatro (a tiny four-stringed guitar), the arpa (harp) and maracas, capturing the heart of Venezuelan culture.
In the Llanos (Plains), the rainy season (June–October) is perfect for rafting but the dry season (November–May) is best for safari excursions, when the low lagoons attract a huge diversity of exuberant wildlife.
