Orinoco Delta Lodge


The Orinoco Delta Lodge is located about 50 miles up the Rio Manamo in Eastern Venezuela's Orinoco Delta region. We stopped here while exploring the area, and had a great time. Yachties were quite welcome, but the mainstay of their business is European eco-tourists. The lodge is only available by boat, and the guests and the supplies to operate the lodge all are transported on the river. The main lodge building has a bar, restaurant, and lounge area. The guests are housed in separate screened-in bungalows, and the grounds are beautifully landscaped. The staff guides take the guests out on the river each day, exploring the local canos and jungle. If you are looking for a real different type of vacation check them out.
