We walked the trails and had a great time taking in the sights and sounds. Impressive trees, iguanas, monkeys, and birds. It was hot and humid so be sure to bring a water bottle.

We arrived at the park entrance by 6:30 and were able to hire a bird guide, Maurice Vasquez who knew this park and his birds inside and out. This park is natural habitat to so many species. In our 3 hours with Maurice we saw approximately 45 species of birds, 3 species of bats and White Faced Monkeys. He shared his knowledge about the plant life as well. Highly recommend a visit especially if you are a birder.…

He was a natural teacher with a keen eye, a sense of humor and a generous spirit.…

My husband and I, and two friends, had an extraordinary 4 hour guided tour with Carlo Z in Caracas National Park. He was a great teacher, excellent at spotting birds and other animals, and describing the flora and pressures on the ecosystem. He is also simply a lovely man. I would highly recommend him for a tour of this park. Also there are two options in trails: one was built using universal design principles so it is inclusive for people with all ability levels. It included a paved path for w/c users, and a rope-guide with carved models of animals for blind and vision impaired folks. The other is unpaved-- requiring more knowledge of where to go and how to navigate the paths. Both are beautiful. This will be a highlight of our visit!…
