The Orinoco Delta extends over 40.000 km² and has 375 river arms that lead the water from the Orinoco to the Atlantic. The delta is very rich in wildlife. Here you have the chance to observe parrots, toucans, hoatzin birds, piranhas and caimans. The Indian tribe “Warao” lives in this region. The name “Warao” means “man with boat”.
