Ultimate Venezuela

From the stunning peaks of the Andes to the surreal landscape of Conan Doyle’s ‘lost world’ and the beaches of the Caribbean, this captivating journey is the perfect introduction to Venezuela.

After a night in the capital, Caracas, you begin in earnest in the colonial town of Merida and enjoy a breathtaking view of the Andes from the world’s longest and highest cable car, before descending to the endless plains of Los Llanos, Venezuela’s ‘cowboy country’ and host to a vast array of bird and wildlife.

You then fly east to the flooded forests of the Orinoco Delta with its Indian culture and unusual wildlife. After a night in historic Ciudad Bolivar, a spectacular flight across the Gran Sabana leads to the heart of the Canaima National Park, a vast naturalist’s paradise and site of the awesome Angel Falls. Your journey ends on the magical Caribbean island of Margarita.
