Go and watch the lightning in the heavens being punished the most

With visitors enjoying the 'light-mixing' scenes of thunder, South America will undoubtedly be the ideal land to inspire discoveries.

Places with the most lightning strikes in the world

Maracaibo Lake in Zulia state, Venezuela is the largest lake in South America - where lightning appears with the highest frequency in the world, averaging 140 - 160 nights / year, 10 hours / day, 28 times / minute.

Studies have shown that oil fields, methane, uranium mines containing uranium in the lake are the cause of attracting lightning.

Grameme Anderson, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said the maximum temperature and humidity accompanied by the winds around the Andes created the world's most intense lightning strikes for the region.

This weather phenomenon is also associated with the independence of Venezuela. In 1823, these lightning strikes helped the Venezuelan army detect Spanish warships and win against the enemy.

Therefore, lightning images appear on Zulia state's flag and national anthem.

To the lake area, you have the opportunity to witness the extremely unique and spectacular thunder performances that nowhere, even can see clearly at a distance of more than 40km.

Thunder occurred at the mouth of the Catatumbo River - which was dubbed 'Maracaibo Lighthouse' with a period from April to high season in December.

In addition, the tropical forest surrounding Maracaibo Lake is also home to leopards, crocodiles, pythons, butterflies and countless other plant and animal species. It will not be wasted if you take the time to explore the wild natural world here.

After the noisy 'welcome' repertoire of monkeys is the magnificent appearance of a 5,000-mile-wide lake surface, lying flat beneath the endless sky.

Large clouds emerged from the horizon, moving from the misty Andes to the deserts and forests. Dazzling light from the lightning began to "land" in the village of Ologa - visitors' shelter.

The indigenous people, though familiar with tours of lightning, still cannot hide their surprise when so many people come to see what they see every day.

The night falls pretty quickly, meaning that the performance will start soon. As the thunder began to grow, the sky grew brighter and the horizon seemed to shoot sparks continuously.

In addition to "watching" lightning, visitors can also explore the wild nature of the nearby rainforest - (Photo: Daily Mail).

In front of the visitors are the lightning bolts ripping through the sky and the roar resounding the ground. The stormy cloud rushed in, chasing small stars to the east to leave the night sky now left with angry lightning bolts pouring down the lake area.

After that, the thunderbolts exploded in all directions, though they did not want to but surely you had to close your eyes before such a 'dramatic' performance. Lightning shot down from the clouds like thick roots. It is not exaggerating to say that the sky is shining like a day.

More specifically, these lightning rays are sometimes white, red, even purple. It is unbelievable that the villagers take advantage of these ' natural lighthouses' to catch fish in the evening. They are truly brave.
