"Every detail was organized for us before the trip. They (Lost World) were willing to work within our budget while still tailoring the trip to our needs. We loved it all! Catching anacondas, piranha fishing, walking behind a waterfall, the bright blue waters of Los Roques...too many things to mention. The guides were the best part! Our guides were really cool and knowledgable. Thanks for everything! It was the best vacation of our lives! ~ Lori Beierle and Cory Wallman ~ May 2006 ~ Llanos, Canaima, Orinoco Delta and Los Roques
Venezuela is more
than first meets the eye. Caracas
is the gateway to the country and rarely a stopping point
on the way to the country's many tourist attractions.
Our representatives will meet travelers at the international
airport and transfer them to the domestic airport or the
Hotel
Olé Caribe for stopovers. Further afield endless
natural history and culture travel adventures lie ahead.
Canaima
is the getaway to Angel
Falls, the highest waterfall in the world with
more than 3,000 feet. Venture deep into its base by dugout
canoe or fly through the tepuis and see it from the sky.
Hike
atop the eerie and unique landscapes of Auyantepuy
or Mount Roraima
Tepuy, one of the top treks in South America. Mérida
and the Andes are paradise
found for hiking
and mountain biking
enthusiasts and home to the world's highest and longest
cable car system. The longest coast
line in the Caribbean Sea and numberless islands
provide the perfect setting for a wide range of activities.
Scuba
dive in pristine reefs teeming with fish and enjoy
a laid back atmosphere in Los
Roques Archipelago National Park, sun worship in postcard
tropical beaches.
The Venezuelan Amazon
is wild and untamed and the place to interact with ethnic
groups. Right in the middle of the country map find the
Grasslands or Llanos,
an immense extension of flat, flooding terrain packed
with exotic fauna
and flora.
After 1,281 miles, the Orinoco River greets the Atlantic
Ocean by way of a splendid Delta
in which countless rivers
and "arms" (water channels) provide an excellent
dwelling for animals
and birds.
Our Venezuela adventures feature canoeing, caving,
climbing,
cruising,
horseback
riding, kayaking,
whitewater rafting,
paragliding
and hangliding, salt and freshwater fishing,
windsurfing
and birdwatching
in South America's most diverse and accessible country.
Still
much the same as when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle coined Gran
Sabana's "Lost
World", Venezuela's geography provides the opportunity
to explore territories vast and varied.
