Akopan Expedition Package

Package Overview

The Akopan is really off the beaten tracks as far as tourists or hikers are concerned, there is no road to get there, being right in the middle of the Canaima National Park. It is part of the Chimanta massif, which has only, recently been explored and where endemic flora was discovered. These tepuys, unlike the Oriental ones, Roraima and Kukenan, which present a relatively flat, rocky surface, have a irregular surface, canyons and valleys, which makes their exploration more challenging. We will have a spectacular view of the surrounding tepuys, Upuigma, Angasima and Apauray.
