Catatumbo

accommodation for the night

 They say there is a phenomenon in Catatumbo area on Lake Maracaibo that on good nights produce up to 60 lightning strikes a minute without the thunder.

We took a 5 hrs cramped drive there and back (still the same small SUV with driver Snot) slept over in hammocks and did not see any lightning! We had a good crab meal and saw some howler monkeys, snakes and birds.
