Things to Do  

La Llovizna, Part V

La Llovizna, Part V, Ciudad Guayana

 atufft Says:  In this final segment on La Llovizna, simply appreciate these majestic falls with all their power and glory. Note how trees cling to every precipice imaginable. Note also the tremendous volume of mist generated by the torrential flow of water--La Llovizna. 

La Llovizna, Part IV

La Llovizna, Part IV, Ciudad Guayana

 atufft Says:  The dramatic view of the main cascade doesn't come easily. At first one hears the roar of the falls, and then through the foliage, one can glimpse the first views of the minor falls crashing down. Then, at further along, the trail opens to a panorama of La Llovizna, a 20... 

La Llovizna, Part III

La Llovizna, Part III, Ciudad Guayana

 atufft Says:  La Llovizna translated into English means "the drizzle", a name that is more than appropriate because of the steamy mist that's in the air within this part. The amount of water tumbling down toward the Caroni increases in volume as one approaches the main cascade, raising... 

La Llovizna, Part II

La Llovizna, Part II, Ciudad Guayana

 atufft Says:  Besides the beautiful flowers and pedestrian landscaping, what makes this park so spectacular are the increasingly larger tributaries which one crosses on the way to the main cascade. Literally hundreds of creeks flow down and converge on the Caroni. These tributaries... 

La Llovizna, Part I

La Llovizna, Part I, Ciudad Guayana

 atufft Says:  Parque La Llovizna is larger than Cachamay, and provides miles of pedestrian walks, including the initial walk through a landscaped and domesticated open area, bordered by tropical flower beds, which leads past a food concession with a view, and then into a rainforested walk... 

Cachamay

Cachamay, Ciudad Guayana

 atufft Says:  Cachamay is a city park of Ciudad Guayana that allows access to the Caroni River. Some other images found on the internet will conflict with mine because during January, for example, the dry season results in a rather tranquil and bucolic view across the river. We visited...

Venezuelan's Typical Foods, Ciudad Guayana

 darlene&mauri Says:  If you wanna try (for sure) the typical food of Venezuela such as AREPA, CACHAPA, CARAOTAS NEGRAS, etc..then you have to visit one of these restaurants here in Puerto Ordaz:- El Bigote de Abuelo- Buda Arepera- La calle del Hambre- Romanina- Ercules- Portal GrillThough you'll... 

Transportation  

Ferry From San Felix to Barrancas

Ferry From San Felix to Barrancas, Ciudad Guayana

 atufft Says:  With the new bridge spanning the Orinoco, it's hard to imagine the ferry service still operating, but at the time we crossed the river, the bridge wasn't there and traffic to the ferry took many hours. Now, maybe the ferry still exists, but the wait is shorter. We really... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Parque Cachamay: Stay where people are

Parque Cachamay: Stay where people are, Ciudad Guayana

 Fakfak Says:  In several maps you can see a land connection between Parque Cachamay/Loefling and Parque La Llovizna, near the Macagua dam. I wanted to visit La Llovizna via this connection and was robbed by four boys with a long knife I saw before fishing in the river. They took money and...
