Orlando's (our guide) knowledge of all the wildlife brought mother earth to our attention again! Wonderful ranch! Thank you!

We are here on our honeymoon-- Hato Piñero is beautiful, peaceful, romantic and very educational--specially when your guide is Juan Carlos (or "JC" for short). JC's knowledge of animals and particular birds is incredible (he knows the names both in Spanish and English)--we have learned a lot and laughed a lot--PERFECT!!!...

...and for the second part of our stay we were treated to the company of Orlando, who shared with us all his experiences of life and his extensive knowledge of biology and evolution-- a real lesson in life! (not to mention lots of extra help in planning the rest of our holiday in Venezuela). Thank you...we'll be back!!

3 giorni stupendi nella natura incontaminata con l'amico Juan Carlos simpatico piu che mai. E stato bello finche e durato (troppo poco). Grazie dei ricordi che porteremo con noi nei lunghi inverni italiani.

Me encanto desde todo punto de vista. Juan Carlos nos atendio perfectamente, y nos hizo conocer e interesar por la gran variedad de animales, pajaros, etc. Fue un placer personal y un orgullo de ser Venezolana y ver estas hermosas tierras que gracias a la conciencia y dedicacion de unos Venezolanos brinda una imagen de la Venezuela que quisiera ver al 100%. Felicitaciones!!

It was a wonderful weekend, full of experiences that make you feel you don't want it to end. It was an encounter with nature so strong that I'm sure I'll react differently for today onwards. Thanks to everyone: Simon, Gertrudis, the girls in the kitchen and "el unico Juan Carlos" and Mario. It was fantastic.

We enjoyed all the trips, food and hospitality. the guide, Orlando, was brilliant with very good English. So pleased the owners had the foresight to give so much of the Hato for conservation. Will recommend it and try to come again in a different season.

We came to see and understand the Llanos--what a wonderful experience it has been--thanks to Orlando and all who we have met at Hato Piñero. Continue to look after all your wonderful wildlife! We shall always remember.

I have just returned from a week at you ranch. I just want to let you know that I enjoyed my stay immensely! What a pleasant surprise to see such abundant wildlife, and yet stay in comfortable accommodations. My only suggestion is that you might want to increase the number of bird feeders out front, to attract more birds in the patio/entrance area. I will be back!

Read what the The New York Times and CNN Travel Guide have to say about Hato Piñero


Even such happy child of earth am I;
Even as these blissful creatures do I fare;
Far from the world I walk, and from all care...
