Located near Canaima in southern Venezuela, Angel Falls is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall (height 979m / drop 807m). The falls were discovered in 1935 by the American aviator and adventurer James C. Angel, after whom it is named. This UNESCO World Heritage site is considered by many as the eighth natural wonder of the world. Visit the Sapo and Yuri Waterfalls, followed by a breathtaking flight over Angel Falls. Enjoy a relaxing stay at Waku Lodge, an idyllic paradise surrounded by wildlife, cascades and lagoons. Tour also includes one pre-night in Caracas and domestic flights to/from Canaima.

Caracas lies in a series of valleys 1000 meters above sea level and surrounded by majestic tree-clad mountains. Traces of the city's colonial roots are still proudly displayed in the historic buildings and contrast dramatically with the imposing modern skyscrapers of the city.

Upon arrival you will be met by our local representative who will help you locating your vehicle.

Between the rainforest of the Amazon Basin and the watershed of the Orinoco River, is a rugged wall of remote mountains and deep, heavily forested canyons. This is Canaima National Park. Many of the mountains have precipitous rock walls that rise thousands of meters where they end in an almost perfectly flat top. These formations are known by their Indian name: Tepuis. Originally the tops of the tepuis were joined together in a vast continuous plateau that stretched over a large part of northern South America. Over time erosion carved steep-walled valleys and crevices into the plateau leaving fragments of it completely isolated. The region remains one of the most thinly settled and most beautiful of all natural areas in South America. From one of these Tepuis plummets the world's highest waterfall: Angel Falls (979 meters).The fall is more than twice as high as the Empire State Building and three times higher than the Eiffel Tower.

Board a dugout canoe at Canaima beach, and cross Canaima lagoon with impressive views of its seven waterfalls on shared half day morning excursion in the company of an Expert English speaking Guide. A short walk through savannah will bring you to a trail behind the impressive water curtain of Sapo falls - a truly exhilarating experience with a cliff to the right, roaring falls to the left, and water spray everywhere. Once on the other side of the curtain, continue walking to the top of the falls for a wonderful view of the Tepuy landscape before returning to Canaima beach. Since the volume of water in the falls depends on rainfall to a certain extent, it may have less water in the dry season.

In the afternoon, board a (shared) 4x4 vehicle, and in the company of an English speaking Guide you will be taken through the savannah to the port of Puerto Verde where you can board dugout canoes and navigate down the Carrao river. A short walk through the jungle will bring you to the beautiful Yuri waterfall. With time to relax at the pink sandy beach at the bottom of the fall, surrounded by the spectacular scenery of Canaima National Park, you can enjoy a refreshing bath before returning to Canaima.

With a departure from Canaima airstrip, sit back and take in the stunning sights as you fly over the spectacular landscape of Canaima National Park. After about 20 minutes you'll enter the impressive Devil's Canyon, and soon you'll be able to see the highest waterfall on earth: Angel Falls. It was in 1935 when a stranger offered Jimmy Angel $5000 to fly him to an uncharted mountaintop in southern Venezuela, and the bush pilot, down on his luck, jumped at the chance. He flew his mysterious passenger to this mountaintop, and set up camp by a stream. In three days, they found 75 pounds of gold. Returning to Caracas, Mr. Angel lost contact with his passenger. Trying to return, but without his treasured guide, he fruitlessly scoured the vast wilderness for the golden stream. One day he crash landed on top of a 2400 meter high mountain. Two weeks later the exhausted adventurer emerged on foot, bearing with him knowledge of a secret the local Pemón Indians had guarded for centuries: Churún Merú, the world´s highest waterfall.
