A Ramsar coastal wetland on Venezuela's western shore, sheltering flamingos, caimans, and manatees.

Ciénaga de Los Olivitos

Ciénaga de Los Olivitos is a protected coastal wetland in western Venezuela, situated in the state of Zulia within Miranda Municipality. Designated as a Ramsar site on 4 September 1996, it spans roughly 26,000 hectares of tidal mangrove systems, coastal lagoons, marshes, and sandy beach habitats along the country's Caribbean shore. The wetland combines mangrove-fringed tidal channels, seasonally inundated saline flats, and open lagoon environments that together support a rich mix of resident and migratory waterbirds, reptiles, and marine mammals. Its recognition as a Ramsar site of international importance reflects the global value of these coastal ecosystems for waterbird populations and the broader ecological functions of the Lake Maracaibo basin. Beyond its ecological importance, Los Olivitos stands out as one of Venezuela's signature wetland landscapes, where visitors can observe Caribbean flamingos gathering in shallow saline waters alongside caimans and West Indian manatees in the lagoon and channel systems. Its combination of formal wildlife refuge status and Ramsar recognition makes it a key reference site for coastal wetland conservation on the southern Caribbean coast.
