Los Llanos Venezolanos are another area of vast plains as well as wetlands – some 94,000 sq. miles sprawling across five states in the country´s northwest, a six-hour drive from Caracas to the nearby city of San Fernando de Apure (pop. 121,000). And they´re all about wildlife—capybaras, caimans and crocodiles, anacondas and boa constrictors, giant river otters, river dolphins, giant anteaters, howler monkeys, and of course myriad bird species—plus experiencing the horseback ranch culture of the llaneros and sunset landscapes. Visitors can stay in San Fernando or out on the Llanos in hatos (ranch houses).
