Come and visit Canaima, Venezuela's biggest National Park, located in the south of Bolivar State. Go through “La Gran Sabana” (The Great Plain), inside Canaima, which has flat top mountains called "Tepuy", from which birth beautiful waterfalls like the Kerepakupai-merú (Angel Fall), the highest in the world. Enjoy its spectacular landscapes that you won’t see anywhere else in the world. Take a shower in any of its many wonderful rivers. Take an excursion to the top of Roraima, the highest Tepuy with an altitude of 2700 meters, and don’t miss Canaima lagoon, where many small waterfalls flow into, value the color red of the water and light pink of the sand produced by the abundance of minerals.

Also, you should be able to exercise meanwhile you get there because, if you chose to navigate upstream the Carrao and then the Churun rivers, you should have to walk for an hour to arrive to the base of the falls. But, you should get there by air if you prefer an easier way to travel.

We recommend you to take bugs cream or repellent to protect yourselves against bugs, and wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

We have for sure a lot of great and varied places to visit. Venezuela is beautiful all over, but Los Roques and Canaima are unique in the whole wide world. However, I would love to visit Bailadores and Lagunazo Great Lake Camp... Trina´s and Nestor´s descriptions were very motivating. Lucy has to lower down her tour prices or she will lose a lot potential visitors :)
