Jakera Jungle Camp, Orinoco Delta

The Orinoco Delta is a vast unspoilt ecosystem of some 25,000kms. Home to some 20,000 nomadic Warao Indians, these peoples live simply by the water, travelling by dugout canoes and have had very little contact with the outside world for over 20,000 years. The wildlife and scenery is simply spectacular and encounters with wildlife including River Dolphins, Jaguars, Pumas, Perro de Agua, Anacondas, Pythons, Howler and Cappuccino Monkeys and prolific birdlife including, Macaws, Tucans, Parrots, Storks, Kingfishers and Woodpeckers are virtually the norm.

Jakera has pioneered kayaking in the delta and there really is no other way to immerse yourself in the world of the Warao. During your expedition to the Delta - during which you will continue to receive daily language classes ('travelling classroom') - you'll stay in a Warao home, construct your own bush camp and even stay at a luxurious lodge. Sleeping is in hammocks in true expedition style!
