You will take a boat trip in a wooden dugout from Canaima to the Angel Fall, hiking the last hour through rainforest to the vantage point right in front of the fall. Groups are normally conformed between 6 and 20 persons and you will have a local English speaking guide with you. You will have one overnight in hammocks. Back in Canaima and after the visit of Sapo Fall or Hacha Fall you will stay at the Parakaupa Lodge in double room with private bath.

We are taken along the Carrao and the Churun river. On the way we get to know Pozo de Felicidad (or Well of happiness), Isla Orquidea (or Orchid island), Canon del Diablo (or canon of the Devil) and Wey Tepui. We get closer to the impressive Auyan Tepui until its steep walls tower over the river. Finally we arrive at Isla de Raton (or Mouse island) where we will have lunch. Afterwards we hike for about 45 minutes through tropical rainforest until we get to the lookout point. It is located directly opposite of Salto Angel, which we can admire in its full height if the weather permits it. With its almost 1.000 meters, it is the highest waterfall in the world. Its waters form a natural pool at its base which makes it an ideal place to have a bath (it is not always possible to take a bath). We walk back to the camp where dinner is already awaiting us. We will overnight in hammocks near Isla Raton in the middle of the canon into Ayuan Tepui. (B,L,D)
