Tucupita

Tucupita lies beside the Manamo, one of the channels of the Orinoco delta. The great river divides into a network of waterways, islands and wetlands before reaching the Atlantic. The delta is home to the Warao, whose communities live along its channels and navigate them by canoe. Mangroves and moriche palms grow in the wet lowlands, where tides and seasonal floods affect movement and settlement.
