		chocolate maya santa barbara, california (march 2008) I have to tell you that we had an amazing time in Venezuela, Leo was outstanding, your country is so rich of culture, the food the music, the people, the land all beautiful. When I stepped out of the plane in Caracas, I could feel it already, some thing in the air got me and I felt comfortable right away. Your care and attention was also perfect. I play your CD a lot, my daughter Ila started dancing right away when she heard it! I am sure I will come back.
		darryl stanley essex, england I had just had some bad luck back home in England when my Dad sent me a ticket to go with him to Canaima. It was the best tonic I could ever have had - swimming in all of those pools under amazing waterfalls, playing football with the Pemón, and traveling with a great group of people. Antonio, our guide, was really funny, but very strict about our safety. It was a real bonding experience I would recommend to anyone? In fact I am saving to go back with my mates. It was a brilliant trip!
		chelsey stranik anchorage, alaska Thanks again for the great time in Venezuela - it was out of this world. Having previously traveled to incredible destinations around the world, I can easily say that the tour in Venezuela was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. Unrivaled natural beauty, friendly people, adventure, and outstanding guides that really care. Kavak was my favorite - I love that place, especially the long hikes to hidden waterfalls and rivers - there was one surprise after another.
		steve franzino belmont, massachusetts If someone asked me about the tour, I would highly recommend it. It's something I've never done before - an eco-tour. You really get connected to the land, the people. The Pemón were fabulous; just truly genuine people. And our tour guide was superb. He has an infectious personality. I guess that's the best way to describe Antonio.
		susan ferreira travel agent, bilboa,portugal Canaima is a paradise on Earth a mirror where you can find reflected all the peace and tranquility of the world. Whenever you feel tired and stressed, you just go there and refill all your energies again. Being a travel agent, I've traveled all around the world and from what I have experienced Canaima is the only place where I really felt the nature with all its strength, all its beauty all its wonder.... And for you to really be able to have the right experience you must have the right company - nothing better than an experienced guide, who knows the jungle, the natives, the animals, and that can make you feel secure and right at home while in the middle of the jungle! Antonio Pestana is that guide. He has lived with the natives for a while year and is a wonderful guide with the ability of making you feel really safe and at home, making jokes of the small annoyances you inevitably despair while dealing with the nature. Each time I go there I always say to Antonio that I just can't get enough and have to try it one more time.....
		Bradley Weiss Guide on IgoUgo.com I threw my bags into the back, went around to the passenger side door, and slid into the front seat. A few moments later, the engine was purring and the wheels started in motion-our journey to Canaima National Park had officially begun. As we picked up speed, I felt a pleasant breeze came in through my window. Then we took off... Read the full article published on IgoUgo.com
		Sinead Forde and Lorraine Rushe Tuam, County Galway - Ireland click to enlarge Having had a lucky break by meeting Paul, Angel-Eco Tours’ President in Caracas, we found ourselves leaving Ciudad Bolivar on a journey that turned out to be the best experience of our lives! From day one in Canaima, the jump off point for the Salto Angel Falls, we entered a place where all perceptions of the beauty of the natural world were exceeded. Having initially planned to take the two night three day trip, we decided to extend our tour for a further two nights. Since the tour group that we traveled with had made such a fantastic job that missing out on Uruyen and Kavak was NOT an option. In summary, Venezuela is a country whose natural beauty is still virtually unknown to the outside world. What made our experience even more special, was the way in which the tour operator, Angel-Eco, really cared about the environment and the indigenous people and left us with a better understanding and respect for the world we live in. In short Venezuela is "Paradise Lost". As backpackers on a world trip, we feel it will be impossible to encounter such an experience as found in Venezuela. We would recommend and encourage fellow travelers to journey on our trip of a lifetime. In short definitely a life changing experience - to see that the natural wonders of the earth can fulfill more happiness in one day than maybe a year of life can give in the rat race of the modern world as we know it. Have to see more. Explores ones heart! By the way our tour guides were fantastic!!! Safety: Caracas - One on previous belief and another on current experience. Prior to arriving I was led to believe to distrust all in the capital but what I found here were the most friendly and helpful people mindful of our safety in Caracas as two young single women traveling together.
