Destination Highlights Los Llanos (flat plains), is considered one of the ecosystems with the most important wetlands in the world! These vast plains shelter hundreds of bird species (over 300) and more than 50 mamals, promising encounters with anacondas, armadillos, peccaries, opossums, tapirs, ocelots, anteaters, caimans, Venezuela’s famous capybaras, bird species such as ibis, herons, 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 the cowboys of the Llanos 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.
