Venezuela Trekking Experience Trip

This Venezuela tour is a two-week journey through time: We visit the Warao indigenous people, a proud nation in the vast Orinoco Delta, who have successfully resisted hostile attacks and colonization by European conquerors to this day. Additionally, we move across rock formations that are among the oldest on Earth: the Guyana Massif was formed about 2.2 billion years ago. This tour is usually available weekly. Since a minimum number of participants of four is required for the tour to take place, we recommend sending us an inquiry. The Orinoco is one of the longest and most water-rich rivers in the world. It is also connected to the Amazon through the Brazo Casiquiare and Rio Negro. The difficult river system of the Orinoco was explored relatively late (e.g. by Humboldt around 1800). The endless swamp landscape of the Orinoco Delta is the habitat of the Warao. Due to the inaccessibility of the area from external influences, they belong to one of the last peoples of South America who have largely retained their traditional way of life. They invite us to experience their traditional life up close and to navigate through the spectacular nature of the river in a canoe (curiara): fauna and flora display an unique biodiversity. From the water to the mountains: "Jurassic Park" by Steven Spielberg was not filmed in the National Park Canaima, in the Guyana Massif by coincidence. The rainforest national park is not the only highlight: there is also the Salto Angel, the highest waterfall in the world at 979 m, or the incredible sandstone table mountains, home to numerous creatures that are found exclusively here, or the so-called Guyana Shield, one of the ancient geological rock formations of the Guyana Massif. Dive into the mystical rainforest of Venezuela!
