Whether you are limited for time or wish to add a short trip to your Venezuelan / South American destination package we have the perfect “filler” a 3 day / 2 night trip to one of the world’s natural wonders – Angel Falls – the icon of Venezuela.
The tallest waterfall in the world standing at 979 metres / 3,212 feet, located deep in Canaima National Park. The falls were named after an American Bush pilot – Jimmie Angel – see www.jimmieangel.org for more information.
Angel Falls are located deep inside Canaima National Park. The tour begins in the Canaima Lagoon area, from its shores you can see four different waterfalls – Hacha, Wadaima, Ucaima and Golondrina. There are seven in total. After lunch at a local indigenous village you will be taken across the lagoon by dugout canoe, walk along the pink sand banks and through rainforest to either Sapo or Hacha Falls. Depending on the season, you may swim in the lake before hiking in the forest and behind the falls, while enjoying amazing scenery through the powerful curtain of water. Dine before retiring for the night to the gentle sound of crickets. Feel free to walk in the Pemón community and taste a little of their culture.
After breakfast, you will board a motorized dugout canoe to travel along the Carrao and Churún rivers towards the spectacular Angel Falls. The journey is about 4 hours, giving one ample time to take in the lush scenery and the fantastic tepuis (table-top mountains) in the background. After an hour or so in Devil’s Canyon, you will finally arrive at Isla Raton and see the falls cascading almost 1km from the top of Auyántepui and running all the way to Churún river. From this point, hike through rainforest for about an hour to Laime’s Lookout Point and then down to the rock pools at the base of the falls where you may cool off in the freshwater of Angel Falls. Sleep in comfortable hammocks in full view of the tallest fall in the world.
After breakfast and coffee at the camp, enjoy the spectacular views of the falls with the sun light hitting the walls of Auyántepui. Then travel back down the river to the first lodge / camp. Lunch en route to Canaima Lagoon. Dinner included.
After breakfast and coffee at the lodge / camp you may have a few hours free in Canaima Lagoon village before your final flight over the jungle / rainforest below to Caracas. No dinner included. End of service.
