This six-day journey focuses on Angel Falls, the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall at 979 meters, located deep within Venezuela's Canaima National Park. The program follows a fixed departure schedule, chartered flights on a 19-seater aircraft operate only on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and the itinerary sequence cannot be modified due to flight and lodge logistics.
You'll fly from Caracas to Canaima, a small Indigenous settlement within the park, then travel by curiara (motorized dugout canoe) upriver to the base of Angel Falls. The program balances adventure, river travel, forest hiking, kayaking, with comfort at well-maintained lodge facilities and full board in the park. Accommodation includes hotels in Caracas and either Waku Lodge or Ara Meri Lodge in Canaima, depending on the departure date and availability.
