Guiria > Pedernales > Tucupita in the Delta Amacuro

Anybody ever done this journey, or know anything about any of these places?

Apparently there are boats to Pedernales from Guiria a few times a week. And I think there are boats to Tucupita from Pedernales as well. I don't have any information about Pedernales, other than it's not reachable by road and there are a couple basic hospedajes there...

Any additional info would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Andy

What you will not be able to do is to go to Tucupita from Pedernales, they are on 2 dfferent waterways. You could get out at Boca de Uracoa for example. 0 funny, 0 helpful.

He said it took about 2.5 hrs and cost under $10...hopefully this is still the case. He also told me that the posadas are usually filled up with oil workers, so it can be tough to get a room sometimes.... is this your experience? Thanks, Andrew 0 funny, 0 helpful.
