Greetings. I introduce myself. My name is Edward and I am a Venezuelan photographer. This is the first of which I hope will be many photographs that I will share with you.
A brief history:
The Warao are an indigenous Amerindian people that lives in the northeast of Venezuela, specifically in Delta Amacuro.
On the wide Orinoco River and its fertile delta composed of islands and marshes, Warao people inhabit wall-less thatched-roof huts built upon stilts for protection against floods. These houses are usually built on the highest ground to avoid the annual floods. Sometimes a group of houses is built upon a single large platform of trees. The huts each possess a clay cooking pit or oven located in the center, with sleeping hammocks encircling it. Besides the hammocks, the only other furniture sometimes present are wooden stools, sometimes carved in the shapes of animals.
Tourism has reached the Warao, which provides relative wealth for some. Several people have established accommodation for tourists in their own homes. They offer canoe trips (hand and power) to see the wild life of the delta, and also the opportunity to experience their traditional life and culture. These visits can be organized in Tucupita, the capital city of the state of Delta Amacuro through one of the many Venezuelan travel agencies.
I took these pictures in one of my trips to the Orinoco, where this ethnic group lives and where I found this warao grandmother who greeted me with a smile.
