Itinerary
Day 1. Caracas- Canaima National Park
We fly early in the morning to Canaima National Park. After arriving we will check in at our chosen accommodation. In the afternoon, we will will be taken across the Canaima lagoon where we can see a group of four different cascades known as Hacha, Wadaima, Ucaima and Golondrina and walk along the pink sand banks and up for about 20 minutes through the jungle to the majestic Sapo Falls. From this point and on, you may walk behind the falls while enjoying great scenery through a powerful water curtain. Dinner at the camp before going to sleep (beds) to the sound of crickets.
Day 2. Angel Falls
After breakfast, we will take a motorized canoe up the Carrao and Churún rivers towards the amazing Angel Falls. As we travel along the rivers for about 4 hours/ 70 kilometers, we will have the time to take in the lush scenery and the fantastic Tepuys, which are isolated, flat-topped mountains that can only be seen in this part of the world. Picnic lunch en route.
At Devil’s Canyon, we can see the Angel Falls cascading 1km down from the top of Auyántepuy and running all the way to Churún river. From this point, we will walk up through the dense jungle for about an hour / 3 kilometers to the Laime viewpoint and we may swim in the freshwater of Angel Falls. Have a good sleep in our comfortable hammocks in front of the tallest fall in the world, our tour guide will show how to get a perfect sleep as local Pemons do.
Day 3. From Angel Falls to Canaima Lagoon
After breakfast and coffee at the camp, enjoy the spectacular views of Angel Falls with the sunlight hitting the walls of Auyan Tepui and other rock formations, waterfalls and primary forest jungle. We will return down the river to the first camp. Lunch en route to Canaima Lagoon. Dinner included.
Day 4. Return to Caracas
After breakfast and coffee at the camp we have a few hours free in Canaima Lagoon village before your final flight over the jungle to Caracas. No lunch, no dinner included. End of service.

Suitable for all. The most challenging part is the hike to the base of Salto Ángel: 4 km each way, with a maximum incline of around 45 degrees.
Not recommended for children under 5.
The hike to the base of Salto Ángel is about 60% flat and 40% uphill, covering 4.1 km each way. Expect over 90% humidity, with sandy, root-laden, rocky trails, and numerous puddles.
If you prefer not to do the hike, you can rest at the base camp with full views of Salto Ángel.
Luggage & More
We recommend NOT bringing hard-shell suitcases. Handling them can be very difficult and may incur additional costs at your expense.
Your luggage should not exceed 15 kg. Extra weight may incur extra charges, and airlines cannot guarantee transporting additional weight on the same day.
Take a photo of your luggage and label it for identification.
You are solely responsible for your personal belongings. If you forget something at any camp, waterfall, or natural location, retrieving it may require additional costs for fuel, logistics, personnel, etc., which will be exclusively covered by you in cash and on-site.
When to go?
Angel Falls: Ideal from June to December.
During the dry season, it’s still possible to reach Salto Ángel with more effort, but we can’t guarantee access as we prioritize your safety and cannot control natural conditions.

Dry Season at Angel Falls
Our dry season usually spans late January to early June, though weather can vary. If extreme drought makes river access to Angel Falls impossible, we will issue a US$100 refund. If you’re interested in a flyover, we can help arrange the best price and experience.
Due to the remote area, we lack precise weather data and rely on reports from other guides and the Canaima National Park office. Typically, weather updates are only available as you approach the Churún River.
Your safety is our top priority. We will keep you informed of weather conditions and offer alternatives to ensure you have a memorable experience.
What to pack?
Weather at Angel Falls is unpredictable, with heat, sun, and rain potentially occurring all in one day, sometimes within minutes. Be prepared for all conditions and temperatures.
