You can make the trip from Puerto Ayacucho to Ciudad Bolivar with fully paved road about 670 km in one day with early onset. However, there are sites on the route with lodging that make possible a peaceful route to take advantage of numerous attractions and without taking risks or simply feel pressure to go to any point "A" to point "B" without enjoying anything.

Before leaving the Amazon capital, fill your champagne on Ice Alaska (just Orinoco Avenue detour via the Passenger Terminal), with hours from 7:30 am until late afternoon Monday to Saturday, Sunday until 1:00 pm). And in the next booth selling empanadas tremendous giant flag to Rs 10 (up to satisfy greedy!).

It is important not only fill your gas tank before leaving Puerto Ayacucho, also Pijiguaos, but if the E / S has no fuel or closed there, fork up Caicara del Orinoco, because no other E / S until it reaches Ciudad Bolivar but Maripa (not very reliable, because sometimes there's no gas or electricity for pumping). Then, as in all remote routes, it is imperative to fill your tank whenever possible.

A 67 km, watch this for the branch l Caicara del Orinoco Ciudad Bolivar, which will follow. There are a lot of indigenous communities alongside the road on the road between Puerto Ayacucho and Caicos. About 10 years ago, the people of Amazonas tourism not only placed advertisements with the names of each community in your state, but also to identify the ethnicity of residents. Unfortunately, and indications are penciled in almost every ethnicity. However, there are still several who simply show the diversity in this section that include jivi, Curripaco, piapoco, Panare and Piaroa. Although many groups have assimilated the construction "criolla" (ranches) or make their homes in very similar styles, to study them more closely, if you notice a difference in traditional construction.

I found that only sell their crafts piapoco beside the road. They offer sizes of birds typical of the area in all sizes, painted in vivid colors, and with prices lower than in many local markets (not to mention shops in Caracas!) And where you can meet the same creator and know that it he who is to receive any reward for their work. The scenery is very lonely but fascinating for the huge stone black granite formations (locally identified as flagstone), among the oldest in the world (1-3 billion years old), with the base of the Guiana Shield of the time Precambrian.

A 196 km, will Bauxilum facilities, with huge reserves of bauxite for aluminum production in Ciudad Guayana to there being transported via rail. Due to this industry, Morichalito to 7 km (not Pijiguaos "the nearest town?!), And there are several hotels and inns (all charge more for two single beds for a bed).

Among hotels, the best is Pijiguaos (0416-989-0329). It has 14 rooms with bath / shower crown, air, TV and small refrigerator (for 2 - Rs 70-90). And, among the inns: Take the second entrance to the village, continue to the end of the street, turn left and then right to reach Posada Taguapire (0416-786.4615) Ventuari street. It has 10 rooms with bath / cold water, TV, air cooler (for 2 - Rs 75-90). Rancho Moro (0426-691.7768), on the same street, has 14 rooms with split air, hot water heaters through, cable TV (at Rs 100-140 + VAT for 2). At 638 hectares on the banks of river Aro, 98 km southwest of Ciudad Bolivar, a good choice is Camp Rio Aro (by rsvnes.: 0414-331.0287, www.rioaro.com). Crossing to the north side of the E / S Rio Aro.

In the first "Y", keep left and then continue on the main road (no ads). It is 5 km from the highway, with access possible in any car.

In five churuatas there are 16 bedrooms (double or twin and the option to hang a hammock for an extra person), all with windows / overlooking the river, air, bath / cold water. It also has a large pool and two modules (for camping, meetings, retreats), both with 30 bunks, air, four multiple bathrooms.

CIUDAD BOLIVAR \n The best options in the capital are in the historic inns where you can easily get to the Colonial Cathedral, the Houses of Congress of Angostura and many other important sites around the Plaza Bolivar. But the big problem with these is the lack of parking. If arriving by public transport or plane, is well, but in your own car, absolutely do not recommend leaving your car in the driveway. Therefore, since I'm always in my cart, I stay in La Casita-by Rsvnes.: 0285-617.0832, 0414-854.5146-on the outskirts of the city, with extensive gardens, guarded inner parking, pool, food. There are options, from starting your own tent (Rs 25) or sleeping in hammocks (Rs 40), to large rooms with air and hot water (Rs 170 for 2). They own a travel agency, and for people without a car, free shuttle is provided between the center and the inn.

Posada Don Carlos (0285-632.6017, www.posada-doncarlos.com), Boyacá street with street No. 26 patriotism (behind the Interior, 30 meters from the Plaza Bolivar), is installed in a traditional old building, respecting the architectural features while providing modern comforts (good bathrooms / hot water).

There are 10 lodging options from a large terrace with hammocks and two shared bathrooms for tight budget or simple rooms with beds and bathroom, to a suite with two single beds in the PB, beautiful bathroom, plus an attic with two single beds. It has WiFi, bar, room with computer / Internet, kitchen available for customers (Rs 2 p / p each use), washing machines and dryers (paid by weight of the laundry). It has a locked warehouse where customers can leave your luggage while you go hiking, and a closed garage for 1-2 cars at basement level. Optional tours are offered (hammock or litter - Rs 40 p / p, room for 2 with Fan / air - Rs 120/150).

At the same Avenida Boyacá (No. 8), between Venezuela and Bolivar streets, is the Posada Angostura (by Rsvnes.: 0285-632.4639). It is installed in a beautiful colonial house with one floor to street level, but because of the slope has two levels on the back with solar power. There is a terrace / social area in PA with beautiful view of the Orinoco and the Bridge of Angostura. It has seven beautiful rooms with bath / hot water, air. Breakfast included in price (for 2 - Rs 400) with other meals available separately on request. Through a travel agency in Caracas, the owner can provide all appropriate services. No parking.

With the same owners and contacts of Posada Angostura, in Venezuela with Boyaca Street, is La Casa Grande de Angostura, a huge old house with two floors. It offers 15 rooms and suites (with bath / hot water, minibar, cable TV, telephone, WiFi - Rs 530 for 2 with breakfast) surrounding a central atrium with fountain and reflecting pool. A rooftop terrace has small pools for adults and children and a fabulous view of the Orinoco and the Bridge Angostura. It serves breakfast at Posada Angostura. No parking.

In this trip I tasted the almost historic Tony Bar-Café-Restaurant (founded in 1964) on Avenida Tachira (11:45 to 10:00 pm daily). It has three settings: an outdoor covered patio and enclosed with air: a soda fountain in PB, and a space in PA with a more stylish.
