Llanos
The heart of Venezuela - grasslands that flood in the spring rains but are baked dry when drought returns. Wide skies, slow rivers, plains stretching to every horizon; home to a great variety of wildlife and to hard-working cowboys who have raised cattle here on horseback for generations. Great for neotropical wildlife including capybara, caiman, anaconda, anteater, armadillo, piranha, freshwater dolphin, and giant river otter, plus large flocks of waterfowl and hundreds of different species of birds.
