Travelogue:

Los Llanos wildlife
More than 400 species of birds speckle the grasslands with white, crimson, yellow, blue, orange and black. Scarlet Ibis, chestnut-fronted Macaws, Jabiru Storks, black-collared Hawks, as well as the prehistoric-looking Hoatzin, call it their home. The Llanos also shelter a wide array of other animals such as giant anteaters, wild horses, armadillos, iguanas, tortoises, red howler and capuchin monkeys, capibaras (the world's largest rodent) and tens of thousands of cayman. The rivers teem with fresh water dolphins, piranhas, anacondas, and turtles.

Puerto Nutrias

Travelogue:
