Travel Guide Río Aro

It already appeared on maps in the th century under the name Rio Aroy, today it is one of the last rivers open to tourism! This other tributary of the Orinoco River takes its source roughly the height of the salto Para and receives, of course, from the importance of the region's watershed, the waters of many rivers such as Río, Arisa and Río La Piña. Few people live in the area: there are no Indians, but on the other hand, there are some criollos (i. e. the Non-Indian Venezuelans) working in the most complete peace their conucos where cassava plants and fruit trees grow, supplementing their feeding through pig and chicken rearing and hunting. As elsewhere, minors have also appeared and are looking for gold and diamonds in the river. Toucans, aras, and martins inhabit the air, trees are the kingdom of scream monkeys, while water is the habitat of the famous freshwater dolphins (tonina). For now, only one operator offers tours in the corner, but if you are looking for something different, this could be for you!
