Hello people, welcome back to my blog this time I bring you a little trip and much Venezuelan landscape, "El Paseo del Catamaran"

This walk can be found in the Bolivar State, Venezuela

First of all, the Catamaran has a capacity of 45 people and its journey is 2 hours. Much of the Orinoco River is crossed, admiring side by side the splendid phenomenon of the union of the two rivers Orinoco River and Caroní river that incredibly do not unite for the different density and context, each river has different density of water being the caroni heavier, the color of the river Caroni is due to the plankton of the water is composed of microscopic algae and that all the vegetal matter that is given from the birth of the river, segregates an acid called tannin thus giving a dark color, and the color of the Orinoco is due to That the nexus of the river of fact of earth, mud, clay and sand, consequent of the drag of these sediments is that it puts of this color, when the river is low and there is not much tide this one turns of green color happening of A coffee-to-milk-to-green color, this happens because all clay and earth particles have an alga resulting in this color both rivers have a depth of 50 meters. Apart from this we can also appreciate the Mining Company Orinoco Miner's Port, the Fajardo Island, the Orinoco River Island, as well as the Puerto de Paula. After this walk, we return to the Caroní river passing through the waterfalls of Cachamay Park and the waterfall of the Park La Llovizna, enjoying the bath, because one of the attractions of this walk is to pass through the waterfall.
