The Lost World...
The Lost World is absolutely one of my favorites in Venezuela.
For many years, this combination was my best seller. It is a great combination and back then when I started Osprey there were departures everyday so it was so easy to sell and run these tours. After COVID and all this situation Venezuela is going through, things changed and now we must open a departure every 3 months or so to complete a group. I am optimistic as always, I know people want this experience and I am ready to get it for all my clients. This is by far, one of the best experiences you can take in Venezuela. Enjoy!
