Parque La Llovizna

Parque La Llovizna is named for the fine mist — "llovizna" — that rises from the Caroní River as it descends over a series of rocky shelves and small cascades near its confluence with the Orinoco. The park covers a patchwork of rocky islands and narrow channels, connected by walkways and small bridges, with the spray keeping the vegetation unusually lush and green.

It is the more impressive of the two waterfall parks in the city, and a better reason to stop than Cachamay if you only have time for one. The path system allows you to get close to the water on all sides. The park entrance is in the Puerto Ordaz section of the city, near the old Macagua hydroelectric station.

A story
La Llovizna means "The Drizzle" — named for the permanent fine mist that hangs over the rocky islands as the Caroní River breaks across dozens of narrow channels and low cascades. On sunny days, small rainbows form constantly in the spray, which explains why the park has survived Venezuela's decades of infrastructure neglect in better shape than most public spaces.
