this is only reached by small planes that you take either in Puerto Ordaz or Ciudad Bolivar, not very cheap though, but once you get there you forget about everything. it is spectacular and a whole new experience. better if you stay two or three days and take the excursion to the Falls. just unique, exciting and beautiful More

This is amazing view and trip of a life time. Beautiful scenery along the way. the air trip on old Dash-7 airplanes was a bit scary (we saw some crashed ones) and the airport at Puerto Ordaz is very disorganised and people are rude. if you can swallow that, then the journey and stay at Cainama is wonderful More

There is a 20 second scene close to the beginning of one of the episodes of the BBC´s ``Planet Earth´´, narrated by David Attenborough, which follows water coursing through some rocky channels in close up. It threads along and without warning, well the accompanying music gives a clue, the water spews into… Nothing. The land has dropped away some 3000... More

The Angel Falls (Kerepakupai Vená in Pemon language) are located impenetrably deep inside Canaima national park.The flights to the Canaima are only from Ciudad Bolivar and Isla Margarita.It's better to book the excursion to salto Angel before arrive in Ciudad Bolivar.we find a flight in Transmandu airlines(small planes) to go from Ciudad Bolivar to Canaima.All the flights are in the...

I went to Venezuela for a wedding and decided to go to Angel Falls after. I booked everything with Natoura Adventures Tours at natoura.com months in advance. They worked with me on dates and flights and it could not have been better. They had a representative meet us at the airports in Caracas and Puerto Ordaz. They provided all the... More

We went from december 23 until de 27th/2011 a group of 7, family and friends to Ucaima Lodge, which I would fully recommend it for the attention, food and extraordinary planning of the excursions. This lodge was apart from the others, for which I would go again. Small children shouldn't go. The views are unique. The experience with the Pemones... More

While we had an opportunity to visit Venezuela Angel Falls was the main reason we decided to go there. And we hadn´t been disappointed - the place was georgeous. We took a trip to Canaima from Bernal Tours (known as Sapito Tours as well). All the arrangements were made via e-mail and everything worked perfectly. Walter is a very good... More

Despite all the trouble and costs to get there it is such a rewarding experience that we did't regret all the effort. The boat ride from Canaima was picturesque and exciting soft kind of rafting and the possibility to take a photo of a 1000 m fall and then swim in the pool at the foot of it were priceless.... More

Angel Falls was great but the memorable part was getting to Canaima National Park, and then the canoe trip up river, sleeping in hummocks and hiking to see the Falls. The whole experience will never be forgotton More
