Animal Adventure is one of our most fun products. This package takes you through 8 or 14 days of close animal encounter in the wild.  It is indeed a great feeling when you see a wild animal at close range. Nothing in this package is prepared or staged. The animals are found in the wild and you get the chance to see them very close and learn about them. Since Pitangus focuses on specialized and scientific tourism, our guides on the Animal Adventure package are very well prepared and knowledgeable about the animals and the ecosystems they depend on.

This package begins with a plane transfer from Caracas national airport at Maiquetia to Barinas national airport. From there, a 3-hour jeep ride into the heart of los Llanos to visit a camp called Los Mangos.
