1. Port Overview

  1. Cano Araguaito, Venezuela

  3. Cano Araguaito is a distributary in Delta Amacuro, Guayana, Venezuela.

    One of the small ports on the Orinoco river, Cano Araguaito is sited 170 miles upriver from the Caribbean Sea.

    Cruises operate in the Caribbean all year round. However many ships cruise here in the northern winter and then cross the Atlantic to cruise in Europe during the northern summer.

    Temperatures seldom vary from highs in the 80s (lows in the 70s), with humidity hovering at the 70 percent level just about all year, so you can expect dangerous heat conditions (sunstroke, muscle cramps and heat exhaustion can occur with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity). The hurricane season, which officially lasts from June 1st to November 30th, can occasionally disrupt cruise itineraries.
