I hope that anybody travelling to the jungle regions of Venezuela will find this blog of myths and legends useful, especially those who visit Canaima and the Gran Sabana, home to the Pemon Indians; the Rio Caura, home to Yekuana and Sanema; and the mighty Orinoco, home to Panare, Piapoco, Yabarana, Yanomami and many others. Get back to me with your own contributions, experiences, photos and ideas: dogzbolox@hotmail.com

UK explorer learns survival skills from Venezuela's Pemon
Famous UK explorer Ray Mears travels into the Venezuelan jungle to learn some survival skills from the Yekuana and Pemon Indians for a BBC documentary series on bushcraft.
You can find the full documentaries on Youtube but here is my favourite episode, when Ray meets Venezuelan snake expert and naturalist Jesus Rivas and we learn a little more about some of the smaller inhabitants of the rainforest.
