Angel Falls and the Canaima Lagoon II
Trip Highlights:
  • Angel Falls is found inside Canaima National Park.When visited, locals and foreigners are stunned and awed by this masterpiece of nature plunging into the abyss. A true beauty unlike any other!
  •  It is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world! It is 15 times the height of Niagara Falls; with a drop of 979 m (3230 ft) originating from the flat top of Auyan Tepuy, into the robust jungles of Guayana.
  • It was discovered in 1937 by the aviator and American adventurer James C. Angel.
  • The local indians call Angel Falls Kerekupai-merú, which in the Pemón language means "falls to the deepest place".

Check-in and in the afternoon, after lunch, take a boat ride to “Sapo Fall”. Embark on a “curiara” (Indian boat) and while traveling through the Canaima Lagoon, see the Hacha / Golondrina /Guadaima/ Ucaima Falls. As we reach the other end of the lagoon, walk 20 minutes to the entrance of Sapo Fall.
