Roraima Trekking - Angel Falls
From £2,525 Altitude 2,700m Grade: T3
Roraima Trekking - Angel Falls
Visit Conan Doyle’s "Lost World", take a shower at the Angel Falls with quality accommodation and all fees included.
Read the book, seen the movie? – Now go and see it for yourself, but don’t expect to encounter too many dinosaurs! For our Roraima Tepui trek we travel on foot from the Indian settlement of Parai-Tepui through the Gran Sabana grasslands to the base of Roraima Tepui, a seemingly impenetrable fortress surrounded by 800m vertical walls. From our camp at the base of the cliffs, we can enjoy views across the savannah and watch the sun play on the rose coloured cliffs above. A diagonal cleft penetrates the cliffs, allowing us access to the summit via a steep but non-technical trail. We have a full day to explore the bizarre rock formations, fauna and plant life, much of which is found nowhere else on Earth, before retracing our steps back to Parai-Tepui and continuing on by vehicle to Santa Elena.
No visit to Venezuela would be complete without visiting the world’s tallest waterfall, the 1000m high Angel Falls. A charter flight takes us over the Tepuis to Canaima from where we travel by motorised canoe up-river to a jungle camp beneath the falls. There is time at leisure to absorb the views and atmosphere of the falls before returning to Canaima for the night and then on to Caracas and home.

Insurance
It is essential for a trip of this type that you are adequately insured. When researching insurance options, please ensure the policy covers you for the following:
- Cancellation or curtailment
- Helicopter rescue (most insurance companies will no longer cover for ‘search and rescue’ but providing you stay with the group, they will assist with ‘rescue’)
- Repatriation
- The altitude that you are expected to attain
- The location especially when travelling to Antarctica
- Grade of trek/climb/expedition
- Medical cover
