Catatumbo Angel Falls
Thanks for showing interest in one of my favorites combinations in Venezuela
In this unique journey, we will witness the Catatumbo lightning phenomenon over the Maracaibo Lake and head from there to the highlands of the Venezuelan Andes full of beautiful landscapes, national parks, outdoor activities and authentic people that live in this region of the country.
Angel Falls...we will do it in the "Old School" style: my way! Forget about those boring "lodge tours" that you nowadays find in instagram, let me get you deeper in nature and show the best around Auyan Tepui in Canaima National Park.
Will you join us?Ben Rodriguez
