The Andes module gives a Venezuela programme a change of temperature and pace: cool nights in a hacienda, walks among giant frailejón plants, and stone villages where time seems to have halted.
Day by day
To Mérida
Flight to El Vigía, road transfer through the mountains, hacienda check-in.
Sierra Nevada
Full day in the páramo with walks graded to the party; afternoon in Mérida’s old town.
Pueblos del Sur
Full day by 4×4 through the villages of the Trans-Andean road and the high lakes.
Departure
Flight back to Caracas, or the road descent to the Llanos.
How it fits
As a stand-alone module from Caracas, or as the first half of a Mérida–Llanos week that ends with the safari.
