The Orinoco Delta has been home to the Warao people for thousands of years, who developed an intricate canoe-based culture adapted to the watery landscape. European explorers first documented the delta in the 16th century, but its remote location preserved its natural state. In recent decades, eco-tourism has emerged as a sustainable way to showcase the region's ecological importance while supporting local communities. Photography tours specifically developed as visitors sought to capture the delta's extraordinary biodiversity and cultural richness.
