Module — Gran Sabana overland

Module4 days / 3 nightsPuerto Ordaz · Kavanayén · Santa Elena de Uairén

The Gran Sabana module is the overland counterpart to Canaima: the same tepuy country seen from the road rather than the air, at the pace of a 4×4 and with a waterfall every hour.

Day by day

Puerto Ordaz → Gran Sabana

Flight and 4×4 transfer south across the Sierra de Lema into the savanna; first waterfalls along the road.

Gran Sabana

Full day of falls and Pemón villages — Kama Merú, Chinak Merú — and the mission of Kavanayén.

Roraima views

South towards Santa Elena de Uairén with the Quebrada de Jaspe and views of the Macizo del Roraima.

Departure

Flight from Santa Elena, or onward crossing to Brazil.

How it fits

Directly after Canaima, or as the approach to a Roraima trek. It also serves clients continuing into Brazil at Santa Elena de Uairén.

Highlights

  • Quebrada de Jaspe, a river running over red jasper
  • Kama Merú and Chinak Merú waterfalls
  • The mission of Kavanayén and Pemón communities
  • Views of Roraima, Kukenán and the Macizo del Roraima tepuys
  • Onward link to Santa Elena de Uairén and Brazil
