Arrive at Caracas airport, where a guide will meet you and take you to your hotel near the Caribbean coast. Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, is situated in a lush green valley, just a 30 minutes drive from the coast.

After breakfast at the hotel, transfer to the Canaima National Park, a forested gem nestled between the Amazon Rainforest basin and the Orinoco River. Here you will find tepuis, which are rock plateaus rising up thousands of meters from the forest floor. These flat-top rock formations were once all linked together and stretched as far as Colombia to Guyana.

Today, enjoy a canoe ride in traditional dugout canoes through Canaima Lagoon and Canaima Beach. You’ll pass by seven waterfalls, and then take a quick walkthrough savannah grassland until you reach the roaring Sapo Waterfalls. You will even walk behind the curtain of the falls, feeling the exhilarating spray. Then continue walking on the top of the tepuy over the waterfalls.

This evening, you’ll have the opportunity to stay at an eco-lodge on the banks of the Canaima Lagoon. All meals and activities are included while at the lodge.

Wake early to the idyllic sounds of nature at the lodge, and enjoy a delicious breakfast. Then board a motorized dugout canoe, called a “curiaras” in the local Pemón language. Your guide will take you and the group on a canoe ride along the Carrao river, across the Mayupa Lagoon, and the Arautaima rapids to the Churún River. Soak in the natural beauty of Canaima National Park, especially the scenery of the Devil’s Canyon. Then you’ll see the highest waterfall on earth, the spectacular Angel Waterfalls. Go on a light hike through the rainforest until you reach the base of the falls, where you can appreciate its magnificence. You can go swimming and eat a picnic lunch at the base of the falls. In the afternoon, return to the lodge in Canaima.

In the morning, depart from the lodge and fly from Canaima to Puerto Ordaz, and then to Caracas. At the Caracas airport, your driver will take you to the hotel on the coast for a final evening of relaxation on Venezuela’s Caribbean sea. The next morning, transfer to the airport for your international flight home or to your next destination in South America.
