Apure River

Apure River is one of the main tributaries of the Orinoco River. The crosses the Venezuelan plains region that forms the heart of the country. I knew the section that is around the town of San Vicente de Apure. It was March, during the dry season. I think it's the best time to spot animals and birds that are around there, as they concentrate near the water and they are easy to spot. Furthermore, there aren't as many mosquitoes during the dry season as you often can feel a bit overwhelmed by them throughout the wet season. The sunsets over the river are splendid. If you hire the services of a good Arassari agency such as Trek, you can go on safaris.
