Warao Indians. Delta of the Orinoco River, Venezuela VR 360
The first Europeans reached the Orinoco Delta soon after Christopher Columbus came here. The first thing they saw was the dwellings of Warao built on pillars and connected by bridges. This kind of architecture reminded them of Venice, so the new lands were named Venezuela ("little Venice").
"Warao" itself means "the boat people" after the Warao's lifelong and intimate connection to the water. Even the word referring to "home" (janoko) means "place for a boat". This is a good illustration of their lifestyle and attitude towards their homes — the platforms made of planks or palm trunks. The roofs are made from palm or thatch leaves. There are no walls at all. For sleeping they use hammocks made by women out of palm fibres. And that's the whole household these people have.
