There is a very special place in Venezuela where you can attend a wonder nature occur almost every day of the year. If you travel to where the mouth of the Catatumbo River flows into Lake Maracaibo, you can see the phenomenon known as "Catatumbo lightning."
This relatively small area is often lit by strong lightning. It can also be largest single generator of the world of tropospheric ozone.
The reason why there are so many storms is that there are winds blowing across Lake Maracaibo and around the fens, resulting in different meeting times in air masses.

storms usually develop between the coordinates 8? 30'N 71? 0'W and 9? 45'N 73? 0'W.
If you want to see the storms you, they produce up to 300 nights a year, 10 hours per day, and up to 280 times per hour. Chances are good, as long as you know to be patient. The Guinness Book of World Records says that the same region has the most lightning strikes per square meter over the world .
This is heaven for those who enjoy watching the storms.
