Trip Highlights:
  • Gran Sabana is a land where you can still feel the divine breath of creation. It reminds us of the immensity of nature, myths and magic. It is where the English author Arthur Conan Doyle, set the scene for his novel “The Lost World.”
  • It is occupied by the mountain mass of the Guayanas, comprised of concentrations of ancient rocks, generally metamorphic, formed out of blocks of granite. The Pemónes (local Indians) call their lands "Wek-Tá" (Place of Mountains).
  • The principal sub-basin hydrology is shaped by the rivers Yuruaní, Aponwao, Kukenán, Suruku, Icabarú, Caruay, Urimán and Antabare.
  • In the summit of the Tepuys (Table Mountains) you find plenty of endemics species and on the mountain skirt, magnificent wildlife surrounded by green dense lands.
  • During the night stars glow. You look up and  they seem so close that you want to extend your hands to touch them!Legends and spirits guide your steps along the way…


Day 1: Ciudad Bolivar Gran Sabana (The Lost World)

Leave Ciudad Bolívar, in our 4WD jeep, and head to La Llovizna in Puerto Ordaz. From there we continue to Upata, Guasipati, and El Callao where we will visit the gold mines and the towns. We will continue our journey and see/stop at places such as Tumeremo, Cuyuni River, the Virgin Stone, the Danto Waterfall, Pioneer Soldier, and Kamoirán rapids. Overnight in a local Camp.

Day 2: Gran Sabana (The Lost World)

Early morning, after breakfast we travel to Kamoiran and drive for almost two hours on rusty roads. Upon arrival, we visit the Liwo Liwo Indian community and spend some time getting to know there culture and traditions. We take a short boat ride to Chinak Merú to see the Aponwao waterfall (107 meters), the highest in the region, and take some time to enjoy the views. When we are ready we continue to Kavanayen town where we will visit another Indian community and spend some time getting to explore the town. Overnight at our local camp.

Day 3: Gran Sabana (The Lost World)

After breakfast, we leave our camp site to go to Kaki Fall and Kama Merú - a 79 meter waterfall with beautiful big stones. If you are up to the challenge you will have a chance to jump off Kaki Fall (an 8 meter fall)! This day you will also be able to take a bath in lovely pools (i.e. Pacheco, Arapan Fall, Blue Pool, and Suruapo). We will visit the famous Quebrada de Jaspe, a red waterfall with shiny stones. The last attraction is the adrenalin pushing walk behind the waterfall La Cortina. This attraction depends on the water level because safety comes first, but in 80% of the excursions we can do it! Overnight at our local camp.
