Este diciembre de 2013 decidimos viajar al interior del país para que los niños se familiarizaran aún más con él. Decidimos visitar el Hato El Cedral, ubicado en el estado Apure, en pleno llano Venezolano. La experiencia fue inimaginablemente excelente. En El Cedral se han dado la tarea de conservar un ecosistema infinitamente nutrido y variado, donde se pueden observar en abundancia diferentes especies de aves, chigüires, reses, búfalos, zorros, perdices, babos, caimanes, serpientes, tigres, osos palmeros, osos meleros, venados, pirañas, tembladores, tortugas, insectos y demás fauna autóctona del llano, así como su flora. La parte interesante es que los animales no huyen, permitiéndole a uno apreciarlos en completa interacción con su medio ambiente y deleitarse con tanta belleza; llama también la atención la cantidad de fauna que uno ve por todas partes, miles de aves que vuelan al unísono llenando de colores el cielo azul, cantidades de chigüires que te caminan por al lado, babos que se acercan a la lancha para que los alimenten, venados que decoran la sabana, en fin, es el paraíso. Mis hijos disfrutaron un montón y todos los días aprendieron y descubrieron un millón de cosas, fue una experiencia enriquecedora y revitalizante. Por tantas vivencias agradables y aprendizajes infinitos para todos y cada uno de la familia, de corazón les digo que este ha sido el mejor viaje que hemos realizado. Se los recomiendo.

The camp facilities are very basic and sadly are not well maintained, however are comfortable enough. Sadly is possible to find political propaganda at the camp because it was “expropriated” by the Chavez government, however there is not any political or social discrimination, to the contrary, the people at the camp is very friendly and with excellent attitude. They were very supportive and ready to help and support any logical requirement. The food was simple but tasty, with good quality and abundant. Rooms are simple, in not a very good shape but functional. For sure they could be in a better shape. Swimming pool is very small and very basic, actually I preferred not to use it.
Talking about the wildlife experience, it is just wonderful. Hard to describe!!! They have two “safaris” daily, one in the morning and the other at the afternoon, in which you ride in a truck with a guide just to enjoy the animals and the landscapes. In these safaris you can see hundreds of different animals in their own environment. They have some Orinoco crocodiles around the camp, you can see babas, thousand of different birds, hundreds of chiguires (capybaras), monkeys, raccoons, foxes, Buffaloes, turtles, etc. We had Rafael as a guide, which is a great guy who speak multiple languages and who knows very well the place.
I went with my family (wife, 12 years daughter and 7 years boys) and for every body was a wonderful experience. My review did not have the 5 points because of the lack of maintenance of the facilities and the general conditions of the assets. However, I really recommend the visit, specially for those who love the wildlife and landscape photography.

Sin duda uno de los paseos más hermosos que he podido hacer con mi hijo. El lugar indicado para observación de vida salvaje, observación de aves. Un lugar único para tomar fotografías de los atardeceres y disfrutar del contacto con la rutina de los habitantes de la comunidad. Ver el ordeño de las vacas, Bufalas, comer queso fabricado en el lugar es una experiencia especial. Poder observar a los chiguires al abrir la puerta de tu habitación y disfrutar del amanecer. Es una experiencia muy hermosa para vivirla con niños y en familia.
