Ciudad Bolivar
From our base in Ciudad Bolivar, we stay a short drive out of the town at a lovely Posada, surrounded by Mango trees. In between excursions, you can relax by the pool or head into town to explore. The town of Ciudad Bolivar, is an old Spanish colonial city on the banks of the Orinoco River. Originally named Angostura, (“The Narrows” - as this is the narrowest point of the Orinoco River), it was from here that Simon Bolivar, the great liberator, retreated after defeat to reorganise his army.
