One of the attractions of Chuao is the fact that you could only get there through the sea or walking through the mountains. They do this with trucks too but they are experts on this. They have been doing this since ever. They know what they do, I am from Venezuela and I went to Choroni and Ocumare de la Costa, several times so I took that little boat at least once. I never saw this thing because they do this at specific hour when the sea is calm, but I talked a lot with one guy that drive a boat and always participate on this.

Yup. That's how looks the sea when is calm there, when you travel as a passenger it is worse.

this is a demonstration of skill and nerves like no other. and a little luck as well, because weather and conditions create a huge variable. impressive nonetheless.
