Angel Falls, the world’s highest single drop waterfall, is located in Canaima National Park in the south eastern part of the country. The park has many other waterfalls, including Canaima Lagoon, a collection of several enormous waterfalls. The fact that Angel Falls was not found until the 1930s speaks to its remote location. American pilot Jimmy Angel happened upon it when he crash landed there while looking for gold.

Day 3 - Canaima: Optional Excursions
Optional Excursions
At their best in the wet season, the falls cascade off the edge of a table mountain and thunder down into the tropical rainforest, feeding a bird-filled lagoon and Canaima National Park. Even now there is no land access; Angel Falls can be reached only by boat or by a light-aircraft flight.
Today will be a free day for optional excursions within the Canaima National Park. Optional excursions include trips to Sapo Falls and to Angel Falls, the latter either on a short flight in a light aircraft (weather permitting) or on a one or two day road and boat excursion with some hiking (during the wet season, from June to November). As the weather conditions can be unpredictable, we recommend organising these activities directly with your hotel, although they can be pre-booked if you prefer.

Price Assurance
At Eclipse Travel, our expert destination knowledge and decades of travel planning experience come at no extra cost to you. While many think booking through a tour operator is more expensive than planning a trip independently, that’s not the case. We’re paid by our travel partners—such as hotels, activity operators, and cruise providers—via commissions, not by our clients.
Our team negotiates the best rates for you and ensures you receive unbiased advice, with no preference for any particular supplier. In fact, where we secure higher commissions, we often pass the savings on to you, giving us a competitive price edge.
Additionally, we lock in exchange rates at the time of your deposit, ensuring no surprise costs when it’s time for final payment. You can rest easy knowing we’ll handle the details with our suppliers. The only exceptions are national park fee increases or fuel surcharges imposed after your booking, though these are rare.
Take advantage of our team’s expertise and let us help you plan the perfect holiday—hassle-free!
