ITINERARY:

Day 01. Arrive Caracas

Reception at Simón Bolívar International Airport at Maiquetía. Transfer to hotel Eurobuilding by the airport in Caracas. Overnight.

Day 02. Caracas / Canaima (B/L/D)

At the convenient time, transfer to Maiquetía National Airport to take the flight to Canaima via Puerto Ordaz. Arrival in Puerto Ordaz and immediate connection to Canaima, where our representative will welcome you for your transfer to the selected camp. Lunch at camp. In the afternoon we will leave for the ride around Canaima Lagoon on board of the typical indigenous boats called curiaras (dugout boats). The Canaima Lagoon is a huge backwater formed by the turbulent waters of the Carrao River before they begin their run again towards the Caroní River, and it’s located at the foot of the waterfalls. The first thing that calls on our attention when sailing on these currents is the foam that borders the surface of the lagoon and the peculiar color of their waters: black in the deepest areas and red and yellowish on the riverbank. That peculiar coloring is due to the concentration of fulvic and humic acids, resulting from the vegetal decomposition in the headwaters of the rivers. The foam formed in the waterfalls is due to saponin, another substance byproduct of the decomposition of vegetal material. Then the curiara (dugout boat) heads for the Ucaima, Golondrina and Hacha waterfalls, whose foam and haze whirlwinds of pulverized water can be seen from the shore. When the boat approaches the place where the dense liquid curtain rips, the feeling of its furious and endless energy overwhelm us. In the distance, the tepuys Kurún, Venado and Kuravaina create a backdrop curtain in this superb aquatic amphitheater. These colossi raise their vertical hillsides of pink sandstone over stretches carpeted with a dense forest, while their summits are covered with herbaceous vegetation. Return. Dinner at the camp. Waku lodge. Overnight.

Day 03. Canaima (B/L/D)

After breakfast, we will leave the camp to do the half day excursion to El Sapo Waterfall. El Sapo Waterfall is a very beautiful waterfall that creates a water curtain behind which we will take a walk. The excursion starts in curiaras (dugout boats) that are placed at the Canaima Lagoon. After a short sail towards the opposite shore, we will get off the boat at the Island of Anatoly. After a short walk in the savannah, we will go into a gallery forest. Silence here is only disturbed by the singing of the birds, the footsteps on the fallen leaves, and the soothing rumor of the waterfall that gets louder as we get close to it. In the round we would probably find the miner toad (Dendrobates leucomelas) whose skin calls on our attention because of its black brilliant color, splashed by yellow spots. El Sapo Waterfall suddenly appears by our side. This waterfall is most spectacular during the rainy season, when its volume of water increases noticeably. After listening carefully to the guide’s instructions, starts the walk along a narrow and irregular hallway formed by the rocky wall behind the dense curtain of water. A vegetal carpet green or tan in color covers the slabs; these are plants similar to moss or sea grass that are perfectly adapted to the impact of the strong currents. Halfway into the walk, the volume of water increases, forming whirlwinds of pulverized water. You can sense the furious and endless energy of the water that falls down at a vertiginous speed from 20 meters above. When we get to the other end, the round gives us a front view of the waterfall, whose movements take on whimsical silver shapes. The walk continues in an ascending path until we get to the top of the waterfall. From this privileged point of view we can make out a close up view of the waving savannah covered with grass and a dense morichal that contrasts against the emerald green that surrounds it, and, in the distance, the azure silhouette of the Nonoy Tepuy. You can take pictures and enjoy a refreshing bath. After this stop, we find another waterfall called Sapito, which despite its diminutive is not less spectacular in its beauty. On the way back, we will do the same route to the camp. Lunch and dinner are included. Overnight at Waku Lodge.

Day 04. Canaima / Caracas (D)

After breakfast, transfer to the Canaima airstrip to do the over-flight of Angel Falls. To start the excursion, we will board the aircraft that will head to the East. Below, the streamer of the Carrao River sketches its meanders in the tapestry of the jungle. Once again, comes up the Auyantepuy block, usually covered by a crown of clouds which brings it frequent and copious rains. From the air we can appreciate the forest clearings, normally, round in shape. They are plots for crops, or areas of land, where the indigenous grow plantains, banana trees, manioc, sweet potato, yam, and other fruits and tubercles which are the basis of their food diet. The plane overflies the irregular summit of the plateau. Near the Western wall we find the Valley of the Thousand Columns, an area in the summit of the Auyantepuy, where air and water carve rare sculptures. It would seem as if nature had taken great pains in creating these formations in order to encourage the imagination of explorers. In between the rocks there are hidden bright red streams due to the high content of tannin in a landscape that seems to have come out of a science fiction story. In spite of a physical environment that seems extremely hostile to vegetal life, the Auyantepuy is a box of Pandora, where endemic species prevail. As a matter of fact, 77 per cent of the 800 or so species of plants that inhabit this unusual kingdom is not found anywhere else in the planet. On account of its peculiar shape, this flora constitutes one of Venezuela’s most important biological riches, since it represents a genetic patrimony highly specialized and it is unique in the world. In addition to that, the vegetal cover of the great tepuy massifs plays a huge regulating function in such an important hydrological balance in the basin of the Caroní River. The aircraft overflies Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world with 980 meters of height. At the end of the tour, we will take the flight to Puerto Ordaz connecting with Caracas. Reception at Maiquetía National Airport. Transfer to selected hotel by the airport (Eurobuilding). Overnight.
