The construction of Camp “My Palafittes” started on April 15, 1998, and ended on June 25, 1999. Its design and construction was coordinated by Mr. Alexandros Marmanidis (owner), a businessman who with great care and tenacity has integrated the economic progress of the Waraos community and promotes the development of the Delta zone tourism.

The palafittes were built with a technique similar to that used in the lodgings of the Warao indian aborigines (wooden basis buried at the river sides and temiche roofs), using forestry raw material found in the zone.

One of the main ideas undertaken in the construction of “My Palafittes” is to provide visitors the best possible comfort inside our facilities. Our site is endowed with all basic services: water, electricity, sanitary premises, and proper household goods adequate for lodging, privacy and rest, offering the best possible comfort for the enjoyment of our visitors.

Another idea which was promoted and was very well accepted is the shelter we have inside the camp facilities for different fauna species. This valuable action is carried out to preserve the fauna proper of the region, thus giving a recreational attraction to our visitors.

The valuable contribution of the Warao communities made possible the construction and continued development of this beautiful tourism camp. Their native knowledge, wisdom and permanence within their territorial area (TROPICAL FOREST), represent the most important value that causes Orinoco Delta to be selected as a tourist destination. This is a magical place where we still keep millenarian ancestral customs, representing a social cultural interchange patrimony from Venezuela to the world.
