First Day, in Orinoco delta
Our excursion starts in San Jose de Buja at the Delta where our boat will be waiting for you on the river. The moment you step on the boat, you will have the first sense of the jungle. ½ hour ride will take you to the camp, where you will check in and can have something to drink / eat. Afterwards you will go out with a canoe to get a first feeling of the extraordinary surroundings.
Lunch & Relax.
In the afternoon we will take a boat to go through some of the small channels in the delta to the wet land, where you will see a slightly different fauna and flora: horned screamers, water buffalos, herons and – with lots and lots of luck – an anaconda.
Piranha fishing (we will give you poles and bait the hooks with raw meat – and if you catch one, we will gladly prepare it for your dinner), beautiful sunset there with a "Cuba Libre".
There will be an option for a night trip to search the nocturnal world of brown caimans and snakes. This will be available before or after dinner.
Dinner & Socializing.
Second Day, Orinoco delta - Canaima (Angel falls)
Early in the morning, you are taken to San Jose de Buja, where a taxi will take you to Ciudad Bolivar, from where your trip to Canaima begins.
Canaima is one of the most alluring destinations in South America. Its natural beauty portrays a breathtaking and unforgettable experience.
The four waterfalls in the area are fed from the Canaima Lagoon, the most famous of them is the Salto Angel and with a height of almost 1,000 metres it is the highest waterfall in the world.
A short aircraft flight will take you from Ciudad Bolivar to Canaima giving you a bird's eye view of Gran Sabana. You are then taken to the Canaima Lagoon, the source of the four waterfalls and a breathtaking setting. A small boat will get you close enough to feel the sheer energy they produce. You will also be able to walk behind the impressive Sapo Falls where you can cool down and experience the power of this natural phenomenon. A trip down the Carrao River will give you a view of the flat-top Tepui Mountains, before arriving at the island of Raton where you will stay at a camp for the evening in a comfortable hammock opposite Angel Falls – the world's highest waterfall at almost 1,000 meters high.
Third Day, Angel falls
The following morning there is a pleasant 90 minutes hike to reach the base of Angel Falls. Being this close to the falls is an otherworldly experience as the water gushes down towards you, making you fully aware you are in the presence of something truly unique.
Later, you fly back from Canaima to Ciudad Bolivar, giving another view of some of South America´s most beautiful landscapes. If time permits there will be a short colonial tour of Ciudad Bolivar – the historical heart of Venezuela – before you fly to your next destination.
All transport including flights, taxis and boats will be arranged for you.
