The Orinoco makes its way through Venezuela and Colombia, extending approximately 2,250 kilometers and covering about 880,000 km. No wonder I thought it was so vast when I saw it for the first time, as it is the third-largest river in the world by discharge volume of water.
Water drains into the Orinoco River from many different areas. From the north, water drains from the Venezuelan Caribbean Mountain Range, in the west from the Andes Mountains, Colombian llanos, and savannas, and the south-east from the Lost World of the ancient Guiana Shield highlands.
Each of these places have their secrets still waiting to be revealed.
Because the water of the Orinoco’s main channel is not as clear as I would like it to be for underwater photography, I spent part of my life searching for clear water streams and springs that would drain into the Orinoco and in that way document its flora and fauna in a more visually striking way.
Although I have snorkeled in hundreds of its streams, I have decided to present the most relevant spots I have explored.
