The moist forests of Catatumbo greet you with dense thickets and warm air — and a true spectacle of nature takes place here. A warm climate keeps the forest dense and green all year round. Towering trees form a thick canopy. Frequent rains nourish the plants and keep the soil moist. The Catatumbo River flows through the forest, filling it with life. At night, lightning often flashes across the sky — yes, this is one of the most lightning-struck places on Earth! Colorful birds fly between the trees. Monkeys leap through the branches looking for food.
Frogs croak loudly by the water. Insects buzz and create the soundtrack of the forest. Soft moss covers the ground. Dense bushes hide the animals. Sunlight filters through the leaves. The humid air makes breathing deep, yet fresh. Animals are active at different times of the day and night. The ecosystem is teeming with life.
Nature here is in constant motion. The Catatumbo forests look like a place where the sky and the earth are always moving — amazing, isn't it?
