Enjoy Our Best Quality Tour & Experience
We make your stay in Venezuela the most comfortable and adapt to your personal needs.
- Book in Advance: High season (May to November) is ideal for seeing Angel Falls at its peak, while December to April is perfect for hiking. Book your flights and campsites well in advance, as availability in this remote area is limited.
- Flights and Access: The main access is by small plane from Ciudad Bolívar (CBL) or Puerto Ordaz (PZO), landing on the Canaima Lagoon airstrip. Please note that domestic flights are subject to weather conditions; flexibility is crucial in this adventure destination.
- Accommodations: Accommodations focus on campsites and lodges (from rustic options with hammocks to exclusive campsites). Most offer all-inclusive packages designed for total immersion in nature.
- Luggage: Pack light. The weight limit on small planes is strict (generally 10 to 15 kg per person). Bring light, quick-drying clothing, a swimsuit, insect repellent (essential), a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable, sturdy hiking boots for the hikes.
- Cash: Bring enough cash (dollars or bolivars). Connectivity and points of sale are almost nonexistent. You will need money for the National Park entrance fee, tips, and handicrafts.
- Documentation: Make sure you bring your current ID or passport. Additionally, an entrance fee is required to enter Canaima National Park (a requirement that can be arranged directly upon arrival).
- Passport: Must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
- Visa: Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa. Check specific requirements.
- Travel Insurance: It's advisable to have insurance that covers medical emergencies.
- Essential Care
Sun Protection: Intense sun. Use high-factor sunscreen constantly, even in the curiara and on cloudy days. - Hydration: Hot/humid weather. Drink only mineral or purified water.
- Repellent: Repellent with DEET is mandatory against puri-puri and mosquitoes. Wear long pants and sleeves at dusk.
- Activities and Logistics
Angel Falls: Intermediate-level expedition. Includes a long curiara ride and a 1- to 1.5-hour hike through jungle terrain. - Not to be missed: Walk behind the curtain of water at El Sapo and El Hacha Falls.
- Guides: All activities require licensed Pemon guides.
- Environmental Respect: Do not leave trash (the "bring and take" principle applies). Respect Indigenous culture.
- Cuisine: The food in Canaima is simple and nutritious, geared toward expeditions. If you have specific dietary requirements, please notify your camp in advance.
- Electricity: The voltage is 110V. Electricity is limited and often runs on generators during limited hours (typically at dawn and dusk). Bring external batteries to charge your devices.
- Communication: Cell phone service is almost nonexistent or very limited.
- Language: The official language is Spanish. However, the guides are Pemón; learning a few basic phrases in their local language (Arekuna or Pemón) is a gesture of respect and is greatly appreciated.
- Safety: Canaima is an extreme nature destination (rivers, jungle, hiking). Safety depends on strictly following your Pemón guide's instructions and never leaving the group.
- Travel to Canaima is primarily managed through all-inclusive packages (camping, meals, and basic excursions) due to the remoteness of the destination.
