Parque Nacional Natural (PNN) El Tuparro is a 548,000-hectare nature reserve on the Venezuelan border. This biosphere of sandy river beaches and green grasslands is home to some 320 species of birds plus jaguars, tapirs and otters. Getting here is not easy, and there's almost no infrastructure for tourism, but those with plenty of time and cash on their hands may well find it very rewarding.
