Day 1 : Angel Falls & Kavac
Today we will start the adventure in Puerto Ordaz with the flight to Canaima, from where we will catch the flight to the Pemón Indian village of Kavac. In route, we over fly the Auyán-Tepuy (7,872), the massive 270-square-mile, flat-topped mesa from whose summit plunges the worlds highest waterfall with 3,281-foot drop. We land at Kavac, settle into our camp and have a short introductory hike, along a nature trail, identifying various tree & flower species, butterflies, and frogs. Arriving to Kavac Canyon, we wade through its narrow gorge to a secluded pool, where we enjoy a refreshing dip beneath the waterfall at the canyons end. We return to Kavac on a side trail, passing by a lovely cascade called Tawanarempa. In the afternoon, we follow another scenic trail for an hours hike through the surrounding savannah to the source of Kavac Falls. Tonight we sleep, native-style, in mosquito-netted hammocks hung under a typical churuata, or a thatch-roofed shelter, similar to those used by the local residents.
Day 2 : Arenal
Early risers may watch as the suns first rays strike the eastern face of Auyán-Tepuy this morning, enjoying the play of light on the colorful sandstone. Following breakfast, we board an open 4x4 vehicle and drive for about 30 min., to the village of Kamarata. At the river, we meet our expedition crew and load our gear into motorized dugout canoes called curiaras. Our journey to Angel Falls begins! Traveling along the river in an open canoe provides the perfect opportunity to observe the wild, tropical nature surrounding us, as well as some native settlements. Birds we may encounter, in the vegetation along the river banks or in the tallest trees, include tiger heron, kingfisher, cormorant, woodpeckers and green ibis.,we continue heading downstream by motorboat to the confluence with the larger, swifter Carrao River. At this point, the densely vegetated Amaruay Tepui dominates our view . As our staff navigates through various rapids, we walk alongside the river, following the shore or inland trails. The Estrechura or Perwa rapids, which we encounter this afternoon, are the most spectacular of the entire route. At the end of the day, we are closer to the mouth of the Río Churún and hang our hammocks at a camp called Arenal. We enjoy superb panoramas of the Wei-tepui (Suns Plateau) and the northern walls of the vast Auyán-tepui.
Day 3 : Angel Falls
Leaving very early this morning, we navigate down the Carrao to the confluence with the Río Churún, then head up to the Devils Canyon - a spectacular gorge with soaring vertical walls, covered in sections by dense tropical vegetation. Numerous small streams and cascades flow down its faces. Our route follows the river that receives the waters of Angel Falls. Water levels in this river can rise or fall dramatically according to the amount of rain falling on top of the plateau. In some places we may pass small rapids or have to push the canoes through knee to thigh-deep water. We should arrive to Ratoncito Island after about 2 ½ hours of exciting navigation. Approx. 2 hours.
Day 4 : Angel Falls
Afterter breakfast we face a 1½-hour, uphill hike, through tropical vegetation, to reach the Mirador Laime lookout point. We are rewarded with our first close-up view of Angel Falls, whose waters free-fall 2,650 through the air before crashing into the rocks below! After time to admire and photograph this initial vista, we may continue hiking another 30 minutes to a hidden pool and take a dip at the base of the falls. Walk back to Ratoncito camp and spend the night in hammocks.
Day 5 : Puerto Ordaz
Following breakfast, we load our canoes and navigate back down the Río Carrao toward Canaima. Along the way, we pass Orchid island and observe the landscape changing to rolling hills and drier savannah with shorter trees. In order to pass the long, technical section of rapids called Mayupa, we disembark and hike for about ½ hour (our staff handles the navigation with just our gear in the boats). Back on the river, we continue navigating to the trailhead for the hike to El Sapo Falls, 150 ft water jump that has a cave you can walk behind the water curtain. Here, we are refreshed by the spray of the seven cascades, as we walk behind the waterfall. We return to the river and arrive to the Port of Ucaima where we say goodbye to our crew and walk a short distance to Canaima, located at a peaceful lagoon on the Carrao River and surrounded by exotic cascades such as the Hacha and Ucaima falls. It is a magnificent setting and the ideal spot to end our adventures. According to Pemón Indian legend, it is the dwelling place of the god Kanaimo. Spending time relaxing on the lovely white sand beach, one can understand why a god would choose to live in such an incredibly picturesque place!
