Day 1:
Transfer To Ciudad Bolívar
Ciudad Bolivar was founded in 1764 on a rocky elevation at the Orinoco river’s narrowest point, and therefore it was appropiately named Angostura (narrow). As a colonial port and headquarters of Simón Bolívar at a crucial time in the campaign for independence, Ciudad Bolívar is a city of great historic significance. The colonial architecture and cobbled streets around Plaza Bolívar and the cathedral are particularly attractive. Flight Caracas - Puerto Ordaz: Posada Angostura (Category: 3 star) - Overnight, including breakfast.
Day 2:
Canaima National Park
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 from the Colombian Mountains into Guyana. Over the time erosion carved steep-walled valleys and crevices into the plateau leaving fragments of the plateau completely isolated. The region remains one of the most thinly settled and one of the 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. Overnight Posada Angostura (B)

Angel Falls
Day 2: To Angel Falls
Reception at Canaima landing strip, and short transfer to our camp located in the village. After leaving part of our baggage we will board our motorized dugout canoes or “curiaras” in the Pemón Indian language. We travel up the Carrao river, and cross Mayupa lagoon and the Arautaima rapids, always surrounded by the spectacular landscape of Canaima National Park. We enter Churún river, winding its way through the spectacular Devil's Canyon. One more turn, and we see the highest waterfall on earth! We leave our canoes, and walk for an hour through virgin rainforest, until arriving at a rocky ledge. We suddenly stand before the magnificence of the Angel Falls, a few hundred meters away, becoming drenched by the frenzy of spray. A truly unforgettable and awesome sight! We can take a refreshing bath in the lagoon at the base of the fall. Lunch. In the afternoon return to our hammock camp at the base of Angel Falls (hammocks with blankets and mosquito nets, ladies/gentleman bathrooms with shower, dining area, electricity). After breakfast excursion to Sapo waterfall, where we walk behind its impressive water curtain. A truly exhilarating experience! Barbecue dinner. Overnight.
