Unique experience I have unrepeatable! 100% recommended a unique phenomenon on the planet.
Não há noite em qualquer lugar do mundo que se iguala à desse local, é muito lindo!
I would give it a thousand stars ... but I can only five. This phenomenon is unique and unrepeatable. His rays are magical and unique. The sunsets are splendid. Together with those of Juan Greek are beautiful. To get here it is almost 2 hours sitting in a boat from the pier of Puerto Concha. It is necessary to be prevented since there is neither light nor fresh water nor to bathe. There is only 1 palafito that receives tourists where Mr. Tane. But it serves you well .... they charge you 5 dollars per night per tourist. Everything fits better with Mr. Carlos de Puerto Concha. It takes you and walks you throughout the tourist area. There is a lot of poverty in its few inhabitants. It would be good to bring clothes or food for the community.
The town is built on the water, from there you can see very closely the phenomenon of Catatumbo rays
Documentary with Japoneses 🇯🇵de Catatumbo in Ologá 🇻🇪, is a town south of the lake from where the Catatumbo Lightning phenomenon is seen every night
In the town of Ologá, on the lake of Maracaibo (Zulia state, Venezuela), it is almost impossible to observe the night in its dark splendor.
Between April and November, lightning flashes appear and disappear steadily in the sky, a phenomenon that has become customary for residents and a "miracle" for the eyes of visitors.
An average of 297 thunderstorms occur each year, from which this spectacle of natural light emerges.
That record was made by the US space agency NASA and the universities of Maryland and Alabama and the University of Sao Paulo, which on Tuesday confirmed that Lake Maracaibo is the "capital" of lightning on Earth.
A year 297 electrical storms occur on the lake of Maracaibo, in western Venezuela.
Although this phenomenon is widely known in Venezuela as the "Lightning of the Catatumbo", the experts considered until the moment that the greater concentration of this phenomenon originated in the basin of the Congo river, in Africa.
The phenomenon was christened "Catatumbo Lightning" because it was believed to only happen in the Catatumbo river delta, while it flowed into Lake Maracaibo, the largest in South America.
