Far less known - and less visited - than its big sister to the south, the Orinoco offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore a disappearing ecosystem, this is exploration in its finest sense.
Expeditions start at the pretty riverside town of Ciudad Bolívar or the small town of Puerto Ordaz, but from then transport is by canoe and accommodation in a tent or traditional thatched hut.
