Gran Sabana

In the morning we leave Santa Elena heading north. After a 40 – minute drive in our all – wheel drive Jeep we reach the Jaspe waterfall in the jungle. With its red shining river bed, it offers an ideal photo-motif. Our next stop is after about 40 minutes at the Soruape. This is a river with a natural water slide that drives us about 30 m downstream. We then drive to the Pacheco waterfall and our guide will tell us the unique vegetation of this area. Of the 18 carnivorous plant families worldwide, there are 5 families in the Gran Sabana! Nowhere else in the world is there more carnivorous plant species and orchid species than here! The penultimate stop is a view point, which the Indians call a place of desire. Whether your wish is fulfilled there is one thing but the panorama view on the savannah, the forest and the table mountains is huge! The overnight stay is Rápidos Kamoiran with an Indian family in the National Park Canaima.

Today we drive to the Indian village Iboribo and from there it goes another 20 minutes by dug-boat over the Aponwao river to Aponwao waterfall. It is a breathtaking spectacle, when the water masses the 107 m high waterfall Chinak Meru dine and fall down! After enjoying the show and taking the photos, we go back to the Indian village. After lunch we drive to Kavanayen, which is in the heart of the Gran Sabana! Here we visit the mission, where the Brothers of the Franciscan Order teach the Indians an improved agriculture. In Kavanayen we have dinner and sleep in beds.

After breakfast we drive to the Kauí waterfall. Three waterfalls in the jungle invites you to bathe and who wants, can jump from an eight meter high cliff into the cool water! Afterwards we drive to the Indian village of San Francisco de Yuruani for lunch. Continue in just 10 minutes to the La Cortina waterfall, where you can walk behind at low water. A unique experience for adrenaline addicts! Afterwards we drive back to Santa Elena where our tour ends.
