A family-run Indigenous tourism camp in the Sabanita de Pintao community, southern Puerto Ayacucho. Founded by Alfredo Márquez (Piaroa/Huottüja) in 2004 and rebuilt after a devastating fire in 2022. The camp sits a few meters from the largest petroglyph in Venezuela, offering guided tours to ancestral rock art, the Cataniapo River, and the Autana tepui. Deeply authentic, rustic, and community-rooted.
