This economic journey brings you into close contact with
the fabled "Lost World" of Canaima National
Park, discovering landscapes of high tabletop mountains looming over
impenetrable forests, savannahs, splendid lagoons and spectacular waterfalls, amongst
them, the Angel Falls, the purpose of our journey.
The Angel Falls are not only the world's highest waterfall (979 m), but
also form the world's greatest uninterrupted drop (807 m or 16 times the height
of Niagara Falls). From the largest and most awe-some tabletop
mountain of the Gran Sabana, the Auyantepuy ("mountain of the evil god" in the Pemon language) the water
tumbles down into the jungle of the Canyon del Diablo.
