Puerto Ordaz, Orinoco built in 1952 as the administrative center of the "Orinoco Mining Company”, where iron was shipped to international markets, Puerto Ordaz is now one of the most modern cities in the country. From the union of this city "San Felix", was born the city of "Ciudad Guayana" in 1961. Another very important industry in this area is the hydropower with the Guri dam, the second largest hydroelectric plant in the world. Even if Puerto Ordaz is an industrial city, it has some unexpectedly beautiful nature parks.

The fauna variety of the Cachamay and La Llovizna Parks are representative of the Orinoco River, land of the caimans, jaguars, howler monkeys, sloths, turtles, otters ... and the countless species of colorful birds that occupy the lush tropical vegetation.

Your second stop brings you to La Llovizna Park (or drizzle Park) where you can admire the spectacular waterfalls of Salto La Llovizna at the confluence of the Orinoco River and the Rio Caroni. The numerous waterfalls provide electricity for much of the country. The hydroelectric or Macagua Gury, was inaugurated in 1997.

You can admire Kings Bay and other views of the Atlantic Ocean. Once arriving in Roxborough, a short drive along an alley of tall trees brings you to the starting point of your short hike. Along the way, pass through an abandoned cocoa estate, where you can see the remaining cocoa trees and other interesting flora and fauna.
Then, your walk takes you to the beautiful Argyle Waterfall; the most stunning fall in Tobago. At a height of 54 m (175 ft) it is the tallest waterfall on the island. The cool water tumbles in a series of stepped cascades, encircled by lush green foliage. The easy hike from the parking area to the waterfalls takes around 20-30 minutes. Along the way you are greeted by butterflies and a variety of birds. Nearer the falls there are some large stones to negotiate around. There are deep pools for swimming at the first cascade, at the base of the waterfall.
You can swim and enjoy the natural beauty of the waterfall, the surrounding forest and the soothing sounds of the water. After this refreshing and invigorating experience, a short drive through villages and forest, and partly along the coast, takes you back to the ship in Charlotteville.
