EL FLUJO DE LAS MAREAS.- Experimentaremos el subir y bajar de las mareas, selvas inundadas con flora y fauna características, la pesca de pirañas, canotaje, ceremonias de los indios warao, su artesanía y su conocimiento de la selva, la sabiduría natural transmitida de generación en generación.

KAYAKING EN EL DELTA.- Cinco intrépidos aventureros abordan sus kayaks con mínima carga y provisiones para intentar el viaje de 300 kilómetros atravesando el Delta del Orinoco hasta el Atlántico frente a Trinidad. La lluvia, las extensas remadas, el reverberante sol, el frío y la adversidad los llevan al límite de su resistencia para alcanzar finalmente su cometido a base de tenacidad y arrojo.
