Venezuela: Angel Falls and the Gran Sabana

The ancient, sheer-walled table-mountain tepuys of the Gran Sabana are known as the ‘Lost World’ with a nod to Arthur Conan Doyle’s adventure story. In the yawning landscape of the savannah grasslands below the tepuys there are many streams and waterfalls, but the best known cascade is the Angel Falls, plunging nearly a kilometre over a vertical cliff in a single veil of spray.

In this wilderness, prospectors gather to mine the mineral-rich veins of rock. But for the visitor it is the horizon-bending landscape of sun-swept grasslands, waterfalls and black lagoons fringed with pink sands which supplies the treasure.

Our insider tips for Angel Falls and the Gran Sabana

Rafe Stone

Reaching the plateau at the top of the immense bulk of the tepuy Mount Roraima (2,700m) after a sweaty scramble up the vertical rock face. Stepping onto the eerie, flatstoned surface, pitted with marsh and inhabited by rare species, you could be on a different planet. It’s one of the continent’s top treks.

Ben Line

The sight of the Angel Falls from the air. Light aircraft will seek out the most dramatic angle, the pilot searching for a gap in the clouds if it isn’t a clear day: a magnificent sight, like a translucent curtain rising at the theatre.

Isabelle Mazille

A boat trip on the dark waters of River Caura. This is a beautiful tributary of the River Orinoco, with sandy river beaches, huge boulders and picturesque islets.

“

Lodge was lovely; room and bar/restaurant service very good. Excursions arrangements were changed rather brusquely on arrival and not well explained. Amazingly beautiful location.
