Hato El Cedral, Cattle ranch and wildlife reserve in Mantecal, Venezuela
Hato El Cedral spans 53,600 hectares of Venezuelan plains, featuring extensive dykes and embankments that provide views across the savannah landscape.
The property was previously operated by King Ranch, a Texas-based company that developed the Santa Gertrudis cattle breed for tropical climates.
Local guides share their knowledge of traditional Venezuelan ranching methods while leading visitors through the property's diverse ecosystems.
Visitors receive accommodation in air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, and can participate in twice-daily wildlife observation excursions.
The reserve houses 250 bird species, 50 mammal species, and 40 reptile species, including capybaras that frequently approach the entrance road.
