Caracas → Canaima

Box breakfast and, in the early morning, transfer to the domestic airport to take the direct commercial flight Caracas – Canaima. Arrival in Canaima, reception and transfer to the selected Lodge. Check-in and accommodation in the reserved room. Lunch at the Lodge. In the afternoon, included excursion to Laguna de Canaima and Salto El Sapo and El Hacha waterfalls, accompanied by a local guide. Laguna de Canaima is one of Venezuela’s most iconic landscapes, and this excursion offers the chance to experience it up close. The tour begins aboard a curiara (a traditional motorized indigenous boat, similar to a canoe), navigating among the surrounding waterfalls — Ucaima, Golondrina, Wadaima, and Hacha — until reaching the far end. From Puerto Hacha, a roughly 20-minute walk through savanna and forest leads to the impressive Salto Sapo waterfall. There, the trail leads behind its water curtain, more than 120 meters wide, an experience that stirs both adrenaline and awe. The route continues on to El Sapito, where the views are simply unforgettable. Back at the lagoon, the excursion concludes with a visit to the Hacha waterfall, before returning by curiara to the lodge. Dinner and overnight stay at the Lodge. Meals: B / L / D

Canaima

Stay at the selected lodge on a full board basis. Free days to enjoy the natural surroundings of Canaima National Park or take part in optional excursions, such as hikes, boat trips along the area’s rivers, or visits to other waterfalls. Among the most recommended experiences are the excursion to the base of Salto Ángel, the full-day excursion to Kavac with an overflight, or the half-day visit to Pozo Azul, depending on the season and river levels. Meals: B / L / D

Canaima → Los Roques

After breakfast, transfer to Canaima airport to take the direct flight to Caracas. Arrival in Caracas and assistance from our guide for the connecting domestic flight Caracas – Los Roques.
