Angel Falls Tour: Experience Venezuela's Natural Wonder with our 3 or 4-Night packages

A trip to Angel Falls in Venezuela is a unique experience-- it's far from just any tourist destination. Prepare not only to witness some of the most unique landscapes in the world but also to engage in memorable experiences that will become part of your travel heritage. To ensure you're well-prepared for your Angel Falls adventure, and in addition to the recommendations and tentative itinerary that we also advise you to read; here we offer also extremely useful information about this Venezuelan natural wonder.

Are there hotels near Angel Falls? Accommodation options in Canaima National Park Lodges

Locally, they're not called "hotels" Instead, the terms "camp" or "lodge" are used because their facilities and services are much more adapted to the natural jungle environment and the expeditions or excursions they organize. Additionally, they generally offer a much more personalized and close-knit service than most hotels can provide.

We can work with almost all available options; however, after 14 years of offering tours to Angel Falls, we've curated a selection of Canaima lodges that we consider the best accommodation choices for visiting this majestic site. The best part? There's something for everyone, as each belongs to a different category—from standard to intermediate options, all the way to the most luxurious Angel Falls lodges. All of them offer private rooms and bathrooms (except for the night spent in front of Angel Falls) and provide meticulous and very attentive service. Here, you can compare them yourself and even book the tour!

What's the best time to visit Angel Falls? Rainy season vs. dry season

This tour is best experienced during the rainy season in Canaima National Park, approximately from mid-May to late December, depending on when the rains start and end, allowing the curiaras (wooden canoes) to navigate the rivers. If you travel during the dry season (roughly January to April/May), please keep in mind that the waterfalls in Canaima may have less water. While everything will still be beautiful and impressive, the waterfalls won't have the same abundance and effervescence as they do in the rainy season. This difference is usually more pronounced at Angel Falls than at the lagoon's cascades.

In fact, the dry season of 2024 was quite severe; in March and April, some waterfalls were practically dry. When that happens, there's a high probability that the river excursion cannot take place because the water level is too low to navigate. It's important to be aware that, although we'll do everything possible to ensure you enjoy your stay in Canaima to the fullest, this is an experience where Mother Nature calls the shots!

Additionally, the excursion takes longer than usual during the dry season. Generally, the river journey takes about 4 or 5 hours in the regular season. In contrast, during the dry season, it can take about 9 hours or even more, becoming a challenging adventure. In parts of the river where the water level is very low, everyone needs to get out of the curiara and help push or even carry it together. It can be a bit demanding and exhausting, but for some, it adds to the adventure and is considered part of the experience. Please keep this in mind as well.

How to get to Angel Falls: Flights, itineraries, and travel tips

The only way to reach Angel Falls is by air; there's no road, maritime route or hiking trail to this secluded part of Canaima National Park, unlike when you travel to Mount Roraima, for example. Currently, only two weekly flights to Canaima are operating directly from Maiquetía Airport (serving the city of Caracas) to Canaima Airport with the airline CONVIASA; so, the available itineraries are for 3 or 4 nights.

Flights depart from Caracas on Thursdays and Sundays directly to Canaima and return on those same days. For that reason, the available packages to travel to Angel Falls are offered from Thursday to Sunday (3 nights) or from Sunday to Thursday (4 nights). The flight lasts approximately one hour.

Generally, the itineraries assigned by the airline (Conviasa) depart early from Maiquetía (could be at 7 a.m.) and return from Canaima at approximately 9 a.m.

We hope that soon the flights that traditionally departed from Puerto Ordaz, Ciudad Bolívar, and Porlamar will resume. At that time and for many years, the most requested package to visit Angel Falls was the 3-day and 2-night option.

Activities beyond Angel Falls: Exploring Canaima Lagoon and El Sapo Waterfall

The packages to visit Angel Falls also include the excursion to Canaima Lagoon and/or El Sapo Waterfall to see their cascades up close and even walk through them! These are among the most exciting things to do in Canaima National Park. These waterfalls originate from the Carrao River and, after thousands and thousands of years of erosion, have created a magnificent cave that you can walk through.

Although some might think they're just "fillers" compared to the main attraction, it's an extremely exciting tour—just as full of life and emotion as Angel Falls itself. Prepare your (waterproof) camera, your body, and your mind because you'll experience emotions you'll remember with great enthusiasm for the rest of your life! It's indescribable what the power of water and the force of its falls can make us feel.
