WHY BIRDWATCHING IN VENEZUELA?
Venezuela is listed as one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world and has a high degree of endemism. Notable mammals include Giant Anteater, Jaguar, Capybara & Amazon River Dolphins, also known as the boto, bufeo or pink river dolphin, while its cloud forests and lowlands rainforests are home to a staggering 3,000 species of orchids!
Venezuela is one of the countries with most bird species on Earth. Over 10 tousand species have been recorded aound the world, and 1433 are making Venezuela the world’s sixth most bird species rich nation. Forty-nine of these bird species are found only in Venezuela and a further 117 have most of their distribution within Venezuela.
At Explocation, we professionally organise groups or individual bird watching holidays in Venezuela.
All of our tours are accompanied by at least one professional ornithologist leader with detailed knowledge of the area.
The majority of Explocation’s bird tours have a relaxed, flexible approach. This allows more time for photography, detailed wildlife exploration, and leisure, as well as an appreciation for the region’s people, culture, history, and architecture—all while ensuring the group sees a wide range of bird species.
