Floating Hotel- the best starting point to do Tours around the Delta of Orinoco.

The Flotel Warao is a very comfortable floating Hotel, placed in one of the best spots of the northern Delta of Orinoco. The floating Hotel (Flotel), owned and run by the Cacao Travel Group, offers 10 full equipped, very nice rooms, all with their own bathroom, good beds and a huge panorama- window overlooking the beauty of the Delta.

Our Team in the Flotel has highly cooking abilities and will serve the finest and freshest food you can imagine. Everything is neat and clean, a very high standard, compared with the situation at the end of the world. From the Flotel we start incredible Tours deep inside the beauty of the delta, watching numerous birds (you can find about 300 different species) and a lot of wildlife.

Our guides are professionals with years of experience. They know every corner and every animal that comes around and they are very helpful and the explications are in English or German.

first Day :

The Flotel is located in the middle of virgin swampland, on the "caño madre vieja", one of the most interesting places from the Orinoco delta. From the comfort of our boat you have the chance to observe a wide variety of flora and fauna - water hyacinth, pink dolphins, giant river otters, anacondas, and side neck turtles. Along the riverbanks you will see Indian villages. Upon arrival at the Hotel you will be shown to your private rooms. After lunch you will experience the wild, natural habitat of the virgin jungle from inside of an small wooden canoe. When you return to the camp, you will be able to relax before dinner. If you wish, you may take a swim in the river, or just sit and observe one of the fabulous delta sunsets. After a delicious dinner you will have the chance of enjoying the silence of the Orinoco river and listen to the dolphins, playing with the Hotel.

Day 2:

The morning will see you navigate the Orinoco in search of the various species that live there- among the highlights are river dolphins and spectacled caiman in the water, capuchin and red howler monkeys up in the dense foliage, hummingbirds and kingfishers in the skies above. After lunch on a beautiful spot inside the Delta, it’s back into the boats for a trip to some of the Warao villages (palafitos) that line the riverbanks in this part of the Orinoco. Your guide will explain about Warao culture, and the flow of the community's daily life – a truly fascinating experience. In the afternoon, just before returning we make a stopover to pick up our dinner. We will go out to a quiet spot in the river to do some Caribe fishing (this is the Venezuelan name for the Pirañas). Back to camp and another evening trip around the lagoon we will have a special dinner and wait for the nightfall.

Day 3, in the Delta of Orinoco:

At daybreak we go along the channels of the Delta to watch and hear awake the jungle. This is the time of day when the animals are most active facilitating observation. After having breakfast we make another roundtrip to places we haven't seen before and to learn everything about the flora of the delta.

after another delicoious luch, we take our boat back to Tucupita.

The Tour may change, depending on water- levels, rainfalls and other natural forces.
