CLOSE UP ON THE ORINOCO RIVEROne of the few unspoiled rivers of the world

Traveling over 1,300 miles through Colombia and Venezuela, the Orinoco River is one of the longest rivers in South America. Its mouth, at the Atlantic Ocean, was sighted by Christopher Columbus in 1498. The source of the river – near the Brazilian border – wasn’t reached by non-indigenous people until 1951. Today, the Orinoco River is home to a stunning array of flora and fauna and a diverse population of native cultures and modern South Americans.

before you embark.See page 12 for more information

Set sail from the colorful Caribbean isle of Trinidad to the wilds of the seldom-visited Orinoco Delta. Equipped with our own fleet

of Zodiacs and a seasoned expedition team, we’ll explore this unique ecosystem and learn about the rare species of fish, mammals, birds and reptiles that call the Orinoco River home. This in-depth journey combines natural exploration with visits to colorful islands brimming with Spanish, Dutch, and French colonial history, finishing in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Cartagena, Colombia.

Port of Spain, Trinidad (Embarkation)DAY 1

Arrive at Trinidad’s Piarco International Airport and make your way to the port where we’ll board the refined MS Saint Laurent. In the evening, gather for cocktails onboard as we prepare to set sail for the Orinoco Delta.

Orinoco Delta, VenezuelaDAY 2

The Orinoco River is one of the longest rivers in South America. Along with its many tributaries, it is the major transportation system for eastern and interior Venezuela. Flowing from the mountains on the border with Brazil, the river broadens onto a 200-mile wide delta, called the Delta Amacuro, prior to meeting with the Atlantic Ocean. Today, we will embark on a Zodiac excursion in search of wildlife such as sloths, giant otters, river dolphins, colorful toucans, and macaws. This evening, we’ll gather for a festive welcome reception, followed by a sumptuous dinner.

Orinoco River, Curiapo, VenezuelaDAY 3

This morning, we’ll board the Zodiacs for a visit to the village of Curiapo, home to a group of Warao (people of canoes), an indigenous population whose remote location largely protected them from early European colonization. There are thought to be as many as 20,000 Warao in Venezuela’s Orinoco Delta.

PAN FLUTE PLAYERS, SOUTH AMERICA

Today, we’ll continue to explore the Orinoco Delta, a wilderness of wide rivers, tropical wetlands, dense jungle, and coastal mangroves. Here, the ecosystem ranges from more than a thousand fish species, to pink and grey dolphins, giant river otter, manatees, river turtles, sloths and monkeys, the Orinoco crocodile (one of the rarest reptiles in the world), and a wide variety of birdlife, including macaws, toucans, parrots, and chenachena.

Orinoco Delta, VenezuelaDAY 4

Cruising the Caribbean SeaDAY 6

Charlotteville, TobagoDAY 5

WATER BUFFALO, ORINOCO RIVER

This morning, we’ll go ashore to snorkel, swim, and explore this beautiful island. From the first European explorers to today, Tobago has changed hands over 22 times. It has been occupied by the English, Dutch, French, Spanish, Latvian Courlanders, and a host of pirates and buccaneers. In 1889, Tobago was made a

ward of Trinidad, which it remained until 1962 when Trinidad & Tobago became an independent commonwealth, and then a republic in 1976. While Trinidad is the bustling commercial center of the republic, Tobago is known for its natural environment and a slower pace of life. It boasts the oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere, beautiful beaches and waterfalls, and a colorful history including the restored Fort King George. This 18th-century hilltop fortification was named after King George III. Today the officers’ quarters host a museum display of maps from the 1600s, Amerindian artifacts, and watercolor paintings of the island by Sir William Young.

Located about 25 miles from the mainland, Venezuela’s mountainous Margarita Island offers wide white beaches and access to windsurfing, golf, and scuba diving.

Kralendijk, BonaireDAY 9

Bonaire was part of the Netherland Antilles until 2010 and the Dutch influence remains very strong. It was here that the Dutch West India company harvested salt, which attracted scores of pink flamingos. This afternoon’s excursion will take us to the Grottomeer saltpans to see the flamingos, the slave huts, and Rincon, the original Spanish settlement. Finally, we’ll visit Seroelargu, the highest point on the island, to take in the sweeping panoramic views.

Isla Blanquilla, VenezuelaDAY 8

This morning, we’ll go ashore on this uninhabited island. Named for its stunning white sand beaches, the island’s flora and fauna include: iguanas, wild donkeys, and numerous varieties of cacti.

This unforgettable full-day active tour includes a stunning sightseeing flight roundtrip from Isla Margarita over magnificent Angel Falls (the highest waterfall in the world) to Canaima, where you’ll enjoy a boat cruise on the Canaima Lagoon and a hike to thundering Sapo Falls (Frog Falls). Angel Falls got their name from Jimmie Angel, a U.S. aviator who was the first person to fly over the falls. The indigenous name for the falls is Kerepakupai Vená, meaning “waterfall of the deepest place.”

After the farm tour, we’ll drive to the famous Hato Caves, a series of old coral reefs that emerged from the sea when the island was formed. These “living” caves have centuries-old stalagmites and stalactites that are still being formed, one drop at a time.
