Itinerary
Day 1. Canaima National Park
Embark on an extraordinary adventure from Caracas to Canaima National Park. Begin at Canaima Lagoon, where you’ll witness stunning waterfalls like Hacha, Wadaima, Ucaima, and Golondrina. Journey across the lagoon and lush jungle to Sapo Falls, walking behind its majestic cascade. Canoe to Auyan Tepui, marvel at Angel Falls, and end your day with a delicious dinner and restful hammock sleep, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature.
Day 2. Angel Falls
Enjoy the first views of Angel Falls with the sun bouncing on the walls of Auyan Tepui before a fueling breakfast to get ready for a great day. We will walk up through the jungle for about an hour (4.1kms) to the Laime viewpoint and then down to the rock pools near the base of the waterfall. If you get lucky, you may swim in the freshwater of Angel Falls.
Return to base camp for lunch, relax while enjoying a jungle sunset, and dine before sleeping in hammocks. Your guide will demonstrate how to sleep comfortably, just like the local Pemons.
Day 3. Back to Canaima Lagoon
Start your day with breakfast and coffee at the campsite, enjoying stunning morning views of the falls. Then, canoe down the Churun and Carrao rivers to Canaima Lagoon. At day’s end, check into a basic posada with private bathrooms, freshen up, and enjoy dinner. Explore Canaima village, meet friendly locals, and shop for unique handicrafts.
Day 4. Return to Caracas
After breakfast and coffee at the camp you have a few hours free in Canaima Lagoon village before your final flight over the jungle to Caracas. No dinner included. End of service.

Salto Angel: 2 nights in hammocks + 1 night in a basic camp with a private bathroom.
Single room: Additional US$40
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.
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.
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.
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.
