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.

Is this journey meant for you?

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.

Itinerary

Day 1

Path to Caracas

Every journey to Venezuela begins with a long flight and the feeling that you're heading somewhere few have reached. Caracas is a city that rarely appears in travel brochures, which is exactly what makes it intriguing.

We arrive late. The tropical humidity envelops us right on the runway. A transfer to a hotel near the airport, a brief overnight stay, as we're heading out early tomorrow.

Day 2

The First Encounter with Canaima

Early morning, Maiquetia Airport. A flight with CONVIASA to Canaima and the feeling of moving to a country within a country. The vast Canaima National Park, covering an area of 30,000 km², is an autonomous region inhabited and governed by the Pemon tribes.

The welcome is like in Hawaii. Indigenous people with picturesque hats adorn us with unique necklaces. And then we plunge into a completely different world, the authentic Venezuela, just as it was thousands of years ago.

Overhead, macaw parrots fly by, monkeys, tapirs and other exotic animals leap around us. Settling into a lodge, the last oasis of civilization before we are embraced by the wild.

Lunch and dinner included.

Day 3

At the Summit of Angel Falls

Today, we transport ourselves to the 'upper land', where the main reason we're in Venezuela awaits us. Angel Falls is the world's tallest waterfall, with water plummeting 979 metres from the summit of Auyantepui.

The Tepuis are among the most awe-inspiring natural wonders in 'Canaima'. These high plateaus with sheer cliffs are older than the dinosaurs. Their age is about 350 million years, making them the oldest rock formations in the world. They were shaped not by the rising of Earth's layers but by prolonged erosion.

Statistics show that more people have scaled Everest and K2 than Auyantepui. So far, only 200 people have landed here, and just 70 have descended by rappelling, as we will do.

The helicopter lands on one of the few flat spots. About 60% of the plants here are endemic, with many being carnivorous. They have developed various ingenious strategies to capture their favourite insects; some ensnare their prey in their tissues, others use natural adhesives, and yet others have funnels from which flies can't escape.

Camp at the summit, beside the river that marks the beginning of the waterfall. Its water is deep red due to metals in the rocks, yet it's drinkable. We bathe there, we dine there. All meals included.

Day 4

The Devil's Canyon

The time has come to face the world's tallest waterfall and truly grasp its scale.

We reach it via trails that seem like a setting from a surreal film. We navigate rocks, descend into narrow crevices, surrounded by dense jungle wrapped in vines, exotic plants we've never seen before, and enormous orchids.

The waterfall is only 200 metres from the helipad, but the journey takes us about 40-50 minutes. Without knowing the way, it's impossible to get there alone. It's here we realise the importance of the guides who accompany us.

The team leader, Henry Gonzalez, is the person who created the descent route down the Angel Falls wall. He has led expeditions for National Geographic and Lonely Planet. He grew up among the Pemon tribes, who trust him completely. It's because of him that we get permission to climb Auyantepui.

The view from the edge to the Devil's Canyon is dizzying. An endless green sea of jungle at the base, with water falling so far that it turns into mist before reaching the bottom. Preparing for the rappel, equipment check, team briefing. All meals included.

Day 5

450 metres down

The descent begins down the almost kilometre-high sheer cliff of Auyantepui, alongside the Angel Falls. Needless to say, the views are unlike anything we've seen before. The entire experience is a 'once in a lifetime' kind of deal.

We descend lightly, with minimal gear, as much of our luggage is left above, to be lowered by a cargo helicopter. The water cascades nearby, the wind carries the waterfall's spray, and beneath us, the jungle looks like a model.

On our way down, we pass through crevices in the rock, surrounded by strange sounds that make the experience even more surreal. In these moments, we feel like characters from the movies Tomb Raider.

We reach the “La Cueva” bivouac, a cave in the rock face, roughly halfway down the waterfall. A rocky arch shelters us from the rain. Here, we spend the night, suspended between earth and sky, by the light of our headlamps. All meals included.

Day 6

To the Foot of the Waterfall

We continue downward. The height of the sheer drops decreases because there are rocky terraces where we step onto solid ground. But don't think it's easy.

When we detach from the last rope, we're exhausted from the descent and the entire adventure so far. However, it turns out a steep jungle awaits us, through which we must hike on foot, backpacks on our backs. The rappels are over, and from here, steps are the only way down.

The jungle descent lasts 4-5 hours, with every step accompanied by the sounds of wild animals. It's especially important to conserve water, as there's no place to refill here.

The Pemon are waiting for us on the banks of the Churun River. We cross the river in a wooden boat. We reach Raton Island. Hammocks with mosquito nets, the sound of water, and the unending jungle. The Indigenous have cooked us chicken with rice, which seems like the most delicious dinner we've ever tasted. All meals included.

Day 7

Along the River to Canaima

Satisfied with our achievements and with a newfound sense of strength, we begin our journey back. But now, instead of flying, we're moving along the river in a boat, manned by two native Indians, father and son.

The vessel is a dugout canoe, crafted from a large, broad piece of wood, hollowed out in the middle. Throughout the journey, we hear the stones hitting the bottom, reminding us of the unpredictability of this wild nature.

The river descent lasts about 4 hours. We are in the heart of 'Canaima'. Exotic butterflies, eagles, and hummingbirds fly around us, monkeys leap through the trees, and small caimans glide through the water, which are completely harmless to humans.

We arrive in Canaima, where the waterfalls plunge directly into a turquoise lagoon. Accommodation in a lodge. All meals included.

Day 8

The Canaima Lagoon

After all the challenges and adrenaline of the past days, today we have a well-deserved rest day in Canaima, a place that feels like it stepped out of a fairy tale.

The lagoon is wide, waterfalls roar around, and the light changes every hour. For those who want to enjoy tranquility, the day offers a beach, swimming, and walks along the shore among emerald waters and cascading waterfalls.

And for those who crave more adventures, there are several options: a one-day adventure to Kavac, a hidden nook, where we pass through narrow canyons to reach a concealed waterfall. Or a helicopter flight over Auyantepui and Angel Falls, offering panoramic views of epic landscapes from above.

A final sunset over Canaima, where the jungle sinks into silence and the stars illuminate the night sky. All meals included.

Day 9

Back to Caracas

Flight back to Caracas with CONVIASA. We leave the jungle and the tepuis behind. Canaima National Park remains just as it was thousands of years before us, and will be thousands of years after us.

Accommodation in a hotel near the airport. Breakfast included. The rest of the day is free.

Day 10

Лос Рокес

Early flight to Los Roques. From the jungle to the Caribbean in one hour. The contrast is so sharp it doesn't seem real. Yesterday, we were in a tropical rainforest wrapped in vines. Today, we step onto a coral archipelago with 350 islands, of which only 40 are accessible.

Los Roques has been a national park since 1972. Its waters are among the clearest in the Caribbean Sea. No large hotels, no paved roads, no motor vehicles. Just sand, water in shades from turquoise to indigo, and silence interrupted by pelicans and frigatebirds.

Accommodation at a lodge on Gran Roque, the main (and only inhabited) island. We board private boats that take us to one of the smaller islands. White sand, umbrellas, beach lunch, cold drinks. The water is so clear you can see the bottom at 3 metres.

Dinner at the lodge. Includes: breakfast, snacks, dinner.

Day 11

Островите

Another day in the archipelago. A different island, a different shade of blue. Los Roques is one of those places that you don’t describe, you feel. There's nothing to do, and that's exactly what makes it so wonderful.

Private boats take us to remote islands, where the only companions are pelicans and sea turtles. Lunch on the beach, snorkelling in coral reefs, hammocks under palm trees. The wind is warm and salty, and the horizon is so clear you can see the curve of the Earth.

For lovers of the underwater world, the reefs of Los Roques are full of tropical fish, rays, and drummers. For the rest, it’s enough just to lounge on the sand and think of nothing.

Included: breakfast, snacks, dinner.

Day 12

The Last Day on the Islands

Morning on the beach, a final swim in the turquoise waters. Lunch on the island, with the feeling that time has stopped.

In the afternoon, we return to Gran Roque for the flight back to Caracas. Below us, the archipelago looks like scattered pieces of white sand in the endless blue. Transfer to a hotel near the airport.

Breakfast included.

Day 13

Back Home

Transfer to the airport and return flight. Breakfast included.

Venezuela stays with you. In the air, in the skin, in the muscles. In the feeling that you've descended the face of the world's tallest waterfall and survived. In the silence of the lagoon, in the salt of Los Roques, in the gaze of the Pemon people who have entrusted you with the roof of their world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is something unclear?

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.
