The GRAN SABANA between Guayana and Brazil is geologically unique. High altitude table lands have been carved into magnificent valleys by millenia of erosion. Rivers fall thousands of feet into the jungles below. Gold and diamond mines to enrich your experience and plenty of opportunity to wander off the beaten path.

· AUYANTEPUI TREK
CANAIMA/ANGEL FALLS
A national park the size of Belgium, an hour by air from Caracas, the landscape is straight out of Hudson`s Green Mansions: rivers and jungle ringed by towering tabletop plateaus shrouded in mists, Angel Falls dropping some 3,200 feet, 15 times higher than Niagara, an exotic flora much of it still unclassified, and the Pemon Indians who have woven the towering buttes into myths which they continue to embellish. Stay in a comfortable lodge on the shores of Canaima Lagoon with excursions to nearby waterfalls, treks exploring the savannahs, and if weather permits an overflight of Angel Falls.
RORAIMA TREK and AUYANTEPUI TREK
Jutting out from the primeval landscape of Venezuela's great savannah, Mount Roraima and Auyantepui are as awe-inspiring today as when Arthur Conan Doyle wrote this classic novel, The Lost World. Like a land-locked Galapagos Island, Roraima's and Auyantepui's fauna and flora have veered off on an evolutionary detour. Bizarre rock formations and eerie landscapes offer superb photographic possibilities. Camping gear and food are carried by local porters, participants carry their own personal gear. The trip is led by a guide familiar with the region's geological history and the endemic species. These are challenging, unforgettable treks that few people have ever experienced.
