Why Venezuela?
An adventure you'll talk about for a lifetime
You might think that the expedition to Angel Falls and back is only for seasoned explorers, adventurers, or climbers? The truth is quite different. Anyone who can walk can handle both the rappel descent and the jungle trek. No specialized prior training is required. What matters is the will and the ability to ignore the treacherous inner voice that might start convincing you that this is beyond your capabilities. You'll be surprised how vast your potential truly is.
Specifically, the rappel descent over the abyss is completely safe and performed under the supervision of exceptional professionals, and if you're not sure whether this is your thing - this year we offer an alternative program without the extreme descent.

Are you ready to face one of the world's last wild frontiers?
This journey is for you if you love raw, untamed nature and aren't afraid of mud, jungle, rain, and heights. If there's an explorer inside you—a person who wants to stand at the world's edge, dive into green infinity, and feel your lungs fill with air. If you're ready to sleep under a rock arch, bathe in a river, and descend the planet's tallest waterfall with a rope and a heart full of life—then you're in the right place.
Venezuela is an adventure you can't simulate. You have to live it.

About the Journey
Discover New Strength in the Lost World
We believe that even the most breathtaking landscapes can become far more interesting if we add a thrilling adventure to them. And that the adventure is even more unforgettable when set against a backdrop of extraordinary nature. Well, in our Venezuelan expedition, these two elements coexist in perfect harmony.
There aren't many adventures that can top abseiling beside the world’s tallest waterfall and then for variety, spending a night in a cave or under a rock arch 'en route'. Or wandering through the jungle at night, surrounded by all sorts of exotic creatures you usually only see in David Attenborough films.




About the CHALLENGE
Angel Falls
These days, the word 'unique' is very overused. But when we put it in the context of this area, you'll understand that it downright understates everything you will see.
Angel Falls spills from Auyantepui, which, as the name suggests, is a tepui. Tepuis are high mountains with sheer cliffs and a summit in the form of a vast plateau. They are found only in the Guiana Highlands, primarily in Venezuela. They are considered the oldest rocky formations in the world. And because erosion over time has turned them into isolated islands rising high above the green sea of the jungle, they are home to plants you won't find anywhere else on Earth.
A vast number of local species are endemic. And we will wander among them. Tepuis are called the Lost World, in analogy with the eponymous novel by Arthur Conan Doyle, which is set on one of them. However, we are sure that you will find there both new strength and inspiration for further adventures and explorations.

Is something unclear?
+359 887 293 757
Is it dangerous in Venezuela?
We travel with local guides, trusted partners, and a well-planned route. You're safe in our group. Standard precautions are enough: don't display expensive jewellery and keep your personal belongings secure.
Is the descent itself dangerous?
To give you an example: Over the past 10 years, there hasn't been a single incident in the groups that have descended the waterfall. The high professionalism of our partners in Venezuela, as we mentioned, is renowned throughout South America. In the hands of such people, you completely relax and feel more at ease than ever.
What vaccines are needed for Venezuela?
There are no mandatory vaccines required for entering Venezuela. A yellow fever vaccine is recommended, at least 10 days before entering the country.
This vaccine is recommended or mandatory for 47 endemic countries in Africa and Central and South America. It is valid for life (since 2016, WHO recognizes a single vaccination as lifelong).
Do I need a visa for Venezuela?
No, Bulgarian citizens do not need a visa for a stay of up to 90 days. A tourist card is obtained from the tour operator or airline. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Important: Bulgaria does not have an active embassy in Venezuela, consular assistance is provided through other EU embassies.
Are there any important laws I should be aware of?
The main thing is to carry only the essential documents and to follow local currency rules. Our guides will explain everything on the spot. Travel is an adventure, and we take care of the details.
Is there a risk from wild animals and danger from insects?
In the jungle, life buzzes with energy, and encounters with wildlife are some of the most unforgettable moments. The animals avoid you more than you avoid them. Follow the guide's instructions and don't touch unknown plants or animals.
Do we need any prior preparation?
No need for prior experience; even someone with zero experience can manage. On-site, the team of climbers will conduct a two-day training session to prepare you for the upcoming adrenaline rush.
And if you prefer a more laid-back itinerary, you can join the tourist group that won't abseil down Angel Falls but will witness its full splendour from several viewpoints.
What's the currency and how much money should I carry with me?
The currency in Venezuela is the bolívar, but it's a good idea to carry US dollars for added security. The bolívar can be a bit unstable, so dollars will save you in tough times. Bring enough to cover your basic needs, but don't overdo it – it's always better to have some cash and rely on your card.
What's the weather like in Venezuela?
Tropical climate with two seasons. Dry season (December-April): less rain, ideal for travel. Rainy season (May-November): frequent afternoon downpours, but Angel, the world's highest waterfall, is most spectacular then. Temperatures: 24-32°C on the coast and plains. Mountain regions (Roraima): 15-25°C. Humidity is high year-round.
Can you get mobile service and internet access?
In Venezuela, there is a mobile network and internet, but the quality may vary. Don't be surprised if the connection is a bit temperamental – it's part of the adventure's charm! Grab a SIM card from a local operator for better connectivity, and don't forget to enjoy the moment, even when the internet decides to take a break.
What are the best months to travel to Venezuela?
The climate window for conducting a Venezuela expedition, during which we can travel, is from October to February. Panic Frame and Travel have permission for 1 group of 10 people per year during this period.
Can I take my drone?
Yes, you can take a drone to Venezuela, but you need to follow the local regulations. Don't forget to check the drone flying rules to avoid trouble – nobody wants to spoil their holiday with a fine! Keep in mind that some areas may be restricted for flying, so be careful and enjoy the stunning views from above.
