Venezuelan Indian

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

After 12 years of adventuring in Venezuela I came back to try my luck in the UK. Although I try to visit Venezuela as often as I can it does tug at my heart strings some nights that I am too far from Choroni to hear the tambores on the malecon. Fortunately my job as a journalist in England allows me to follow Venezuelan and Latin American developments and keep my Spanish up to scratch. The UK is also a good place to do research and meet other like-minded Latin-America-philes for proper rum and salsa sessions.
