The first time I saw the Orinoco River, back in 1986 when I was 14 years old, I was amazed by its vastness and also by the fact that it was so far away and unlike Caracas, the busy city where I lived.
To me, it looked like a different world, a mysterious world. Later on in my life, as I explored, it revealed a few of its secrets to me and I felt at home.
Today it is not mysterious anymore; now it’s magical.
