Adventure Camp Guamanchi

Adventure Camp Guamanchi is situated in Estado Barinas, by river Siniguis. It is a nice place to do sports in or just relax. There is a 12 metres high climbing wall and a zip-line by the camp. And you can go hiking and rafting.

I came here the last night on the 4-day Los Llanos Tour. As our guide was needed at the camp I stayed an extra night. The British couple on the tour were driven to Barinas where they took a bus to Caracas. I could choose if I wanted to stay or be taken to Barinas and the bus to Mérida. Both nights I was alone in a 4-bed room in the same house as the kitchen. The new house with accommodation was not open jet, but was doing the final, detailed work on the building and it looked lovely. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner on the porch and the food was good.

We arrived to the camp just after sunset and soon had dinner. The next morning after breakfast we went on the zip-line and then we waited for some more people to arrive. When they came we went on a rafting tour. We didn’t start below the camp, but a bit further down river. Most of the rapids were level 3. After lunch we were supposed to have left for Mérida but as I wrote above I stayed one more night. In the afternoon I lay reading in the hammock, went down to the river and went for a short walk along the road.
It rained a lot during the night and in the morning. The family who had arrived the night before couldn’t do their rafting in the morning (they were beginning below the camp were it was level 4) as planed as water levels were too high. When it had stopped raining we all took a walk to see the pre-Colombian petroglyphs in the vicinity. After lunch the water level had decreased and the family were going to do the rafting. I, and some tourist who were going to Los Llanos, were taken to Barinas where we met with another group going to Los Llanos. One car went back to Mérida (with me in it) and the other went to Los Llanos.
