LOS LLANOS, Venezuela: Orinoco Delta, Grassy Plains and Anacondas

Posted by: kirsty_wilson in South America, tags: Outdoor Activities, Rivers, Venezuela, Wildlife

Where is Los Llanos?

Los Llanos Anaconda

Los Llanos, meaning ‘flat plains’ describes the flat, savannah plains of central and south-western Venezuela of the Orinoco Delta. It is a haven for bird and wildlife. There is really only two distinct seasons in this region being the ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ seasons.

The dry season provides excellent bird-watching opportunities. Other wildlife you can expect to see amongst the various ecosystems include the anaconda (the largest snake in the world), crocodiles, capybaras, giant ant-eaters, piranhas and the pink river dolphin.
