Fly in small plane over massive outcrops of vertical rock formations
called tepuis that are hundreds of millions of years old
rising high above the savanna and surrounding rainforests like
“islands in the sky”. Each tepui with its own unique ecosystem.
Before you know it Angel Falls appears through the clouds right in
front of your very eyes. A powerful force of nature whose waters
plunge 3,212 feet making Angel Falls the world's tallest waterfall
and the eighth natural wonder of the world.
All you can do is gaze in awe at your surroundings as you land on
the savanna where Jimmie Angel himself set up base camp in 1937
before stranding his plane atop Auyántepui in search of a lost river
of gold.
Once on the ground explore hidden sacred canyons where after a long,
hot hike you take a swim in one of the refreshing natural pools
beneath the towering falls within.
You look up and see a rainbow created from the dance of the mist and
the tropical sun. As you swim in the clear waters with your
traveling companions, you sense a spiritual force, a mysterious
energy that soothes you. You lean back and float in the natural pool
and realize that you are far way from everything, but there is no
other place that you would rather be.
Enjoy the local Pemón hospitality and visit with them in their homes
and villages, experience their local customs and ritual dances first
hand and even join in the ceremonial welcome.
Take to the rivers in curiaras and enjoy paddling up stream to your
next location.
Combine this with a riverboat trip to the base of Angel Falls and on
to Canaima Lagoon with its seven waterfalls spectacular.
