VENEZUELA
NATURE TOURS
What? Who? Where?
What do we offer?
 
WHERE:
Venezuela, located at the northern
end of the continent, offers the highest diversity of ecosystems of any
country in Latin America, including tropical rain forest, Andes mountains,
Tepuis, savanna, Llanos, deserts, dunes, and the most spectacular beaches
and coral reefs of the Caribbean. Venezuela has 1,346
species of birds, which is over 40%
of the total for all of South America. Photographers from all corners of
the world visit this country's wetlands for its spectacular scenery and
high visibility of wildlife.
 WHAT:
We
offer customized trips to one or a combinations of several destinations
in Venezuela. We specialize in providing some of the most magnificent
wildlife viewing opportunities in all of the Americas. Animals commonly
seen include giant anteaters, anacondas, caiman, Orinoco crocodiles, pink
river dolphins, hoatzins, ocelots, and too many bird species to list here.  Accomodations
are private, scenic, comfortable, and competitively priced. Trips
are arranged to fit your schedule and preferences whether you wish to travel
independently or with a tour guide.
 WHO:
We
are a part of the conservation and research organization Vegueros Biology.
We are biologists native to the U.S. and Venezuela, working to promote
conservation through ecotourism and tropical research in Venezuela.
Our research activites have been documented by National Geographic, Discovery
Channel,  BBC,
NBC, Dateline, and Smithsonian magazine, among others, and we have received
funding and/or assistance from The National Geographic Society, the Wildlife
Conservation Society, CITES, and Venezuelan PROFAUNA. We conduct
real ecotourism by working with non-profit, non-governmental organizations
to practice conservation of wildlife and their habitats.
 WHAT
DO WE OFFER: We specialize 
in costumized tours with emphasis in ornithology, herpetology, and wildlife
photography. We offer packages for individuals, couples, and group
tours. Guided tours include 1 to 3 destinations, and are led by multi-lingual,
experienced naturalists. We also provide opportunities to visit breeding
facilites that are conducting endangered species re-introduction programs.
Our
goal is to introduce the beauty and wonder of Venezuela's wildlife and
their homes to the rest of the world, with the hope that such an experience
can help promote preservation of these priceless and pristine natural habitats.
HOW IT
HELPS CONSERVATION: Your tourist dollars
not only support conservation within the regional economy by employing
local residents at the tourist facilities where you stay; but also half
of the profit of this operation goes to conservation programs organized
by the Asosiacion para Conservacion y Rescate Ecologico (ACRE) a Venezuelan
non-profit organization that coordinates activities of conservation and
environmental education.
