Hato Cedral Wildlife
The Hato Cedral -located in the Venezuelan Llanos- is worldwide recognized for its natural reserves with an extraordinary concentration of fauna, and vast, blistering plains that seem to have no end.
In this place you will be able to enjoy an unforgettable wildlife spectacle. Each station (rainy and dry season) offer a complete different scenery. In the rainy days all is green and flooded, and the Herons and Corocoras are nesting. It?s the best moment to see anacondas and alligators. While during the dry season the fauna concentrates in the Caños and lagoons even in thousands.
The experience is like going on a Safari in Africa, but enjoying the animals typical from the American Llanos, among them the Orinoco Alligator, the giant anacondas (biggest serpent specie in the world), osos palmeros, owls, deers, monkeys, jaguars, pumas, capibaras (the world?s largest rodent), opossums, tapirs, armadillos, otters and ocelots. Rivers are inhabited by fresh-water porpoises, alligators and by the largest American crocodile, the Orinoco caiman and toninas or pink dolphin. Bird species such as macaws, egrets, herons, storks and fish eagles, white, scarlet and glossy ibis, osprey, parrots, hawks, black vultures and hummingbirds are abundant. More than 50 mammal and 300 bird species.
Awakening early in the morning is an spectacular opportunity to see the dawn and awakening of thousands of birds that use the housing zone of the Hato as residence. After an abundant local breakfast, trucks are ready to take you to on tours through the hacienda to enjoy the beautiful landscapes, between birds, lagoons and animals that can get as close as you can almost touch them.
Between the truck tours, a delicious and refreshing fresh natural water pool waits for you, and at night you will be able to rest in comfortable rooms with all services.
Its all about 53.000 acres to explore and enjoy. We guarantee awesome pictures for you to remember this trip for the rest of your life.
Physical Demand: Low
Recommended for: people who love nature and fauna. Photographers, biologists

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.

Este lugar debe ser uno de los secretos mejor guardados del país. Este hato da la oportunidad de disfrutar de una inmensa variedad y cantidad de fauna, todo en su ambiente natural, una sabana bellisimamente mantenida.
Además las cabañas tienen todas las comodidades, desde aire acondicionado y TV con cable, hasta una deliciosa piscina de agua de pozo con tumbonas para relajarse y ver cómo regresan las aves al atardecer. Realmente algo que todos los Venezolanos debemos conocer!!

Un lugar espectacular, paisajes inolvidables y el contacto con la naturaleza libre es de lo mejor, ver a los animales salvajes vivir su día a día. El horizonte en la llanura es espectacular. Para los que amamos la fauna este lugar es un paraíso, reptiles, muchísimas aves, mamíferos, peces, etc. Todas las bondades de una aventura al aire libre con la comodidad que te ofrece el campamento con aire acondicionado, piscina, tv con cable. Un lugar que no puede estar fuera de la lista de sitios por visitar de ninguna persona. Excelente!!

Uno de los lugares más espectaculares de Venezuela. Se puede ver de cerca al Cocodrilo del Orinoco, chigüires, osos hormigueros, pesca de pirañas, paseos en caballo, anacondas, y cientos de especies de aves. La atención es muy buena, y las habitaciones con TV, agua caliente y aire acondicionado. 100% recomendado, es una experiencia MARAVILLOSA.

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.
You can also visit what they call the museum and the refuge. These are facilities were they explain the history of the Hato, as well they are reproducing crocodiles and turtles, which are in extinction danger. The facilities are basic, but it is very interesting. Also you can go to the milking facilities, one for cows and the other for Buffaloes. They are very interesting even though they are not in the best shape. In all these places the people is more than happy and proud to explain what they do there and the achievements of the facility.
I hired (for extra price) a 3 hours horse ride, and it was marvelous. You just ride trough the middle of the sabana crossing rivers and mixing with the wildlife. Actually, I was able to see a +4 meters anaconda snake, touch and anteater and a chiguire. This ride was what I enjoyed the most.
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.

La visita al Hato estuvo muy por encima de las expectativas. El grupo de personas que opera el Hato El Cedral es absolutamente espectacular. Maracucho el llanero, Musiú y Comandante los capataces, Rafa el guía, Alfredo el mesonero, el Gordo el chofer, Tuerto el jardinero, quedamos todos de sobrenombres y listos para los compadrazgos, jajaja. Espectacular! Además tuvimos una suerte increíble en nuestros encuentros con la fauna local en todas las actividades que hicimos, pumas, cunaguaros, anacondas, caimanes, babas, búhos, lechuzas, toninas, zorros, águilas, gavilanes, halcones, chigüires, lo que hizo en la memoria de mis hijos un impacto imborrable.
Gracias a Akanan por los datos, la logística de la gasolina fue perfecta y todo ocurrió a pedir de boca. Es más, mejor!
