About the film:
Venezuela is more than an exciting tropical vacation paradise. Its contrasting landscapes like the Coro Desert to the north, the Llanos Swamps in central Venezuela, the rainforests of the Guiana Highlands to the west and the high Andes Mountains to the east are fascinating. All of these natural habitats are home to breath-taking natural beauty.
In the highlands of Páramo a Kolibri “the Chivíto” breeds, even in spite of the constant nightly frost at altitudes of over 4000 meters! Farther down in the mountain forest, the attractive Andean Cock of the Rock can be briefly seen.
The large Llamos Swamps stretch from the Andes westward to the lowlands of Orinoco. These swamps are a paradise for birds, in the middle of a sea of water hyacinths. They also provide a habitat for the Cabybara, the Rote Red Howler Monkey, the Caiman and the largest snake in South America, the Anaconda.
The “Tepuis”, impressive flat-topped mountains, protrude out of the misty rainforest of the Giuana highlands. These mountains are made up of sandstone blocks from the prehistoric age and are over a billion years old. The tallest waterfall on earth, the “Salto Angel”, flows from the Auyán-Tepui one kilometer (!) downward into the impenetrable jungle. It is home to strange animals such as Andean Condor, the bright red Guianan Cock of the Rock or the emerald green Arrow poison frog. The most powerful eagle in the world, the Harpy Eagle waits in the treetops for Black-handed Spider Monkey to show themselves. The “Quebrada de Jaspe”, a riverbed comprised of pure semiprecious jasper, is also a natural wonder! This is a special kind of magical world.
