It’s a destination that’s off the beaten track for many travelers. But, with an expert guide throughout and top properties in the different destinations, it’s a trip that’s far from roughing it.

Begin your trip with a flight to Merida, a high-altitude city in the foothills of the Andes mountain range. Here you’ll visit colonial towns, cloud forest, coffee plantations, and get in touch with the local culture of the area.

Continue down into Los Llanos, the Great Plains of Venezuela. Los Llanos make up a third of the country’s land, but a fraction of the population lives in this endless region. It’s a paradise for bird watchers and for wildlife watching, with an impressive amount of animals like caimans, tapirs and more.

On the Gran Sabana you’ll explore hidden waterfalls and the famed tepuys (mesas) that rise from the mists of the cloud forest below. Next, head to Canaima National Park, home to Angel Falls and lush forest, before ending the trip in the Los Roques Archipelago with plenty of time to relax on the one of the most perfect beaches in the world.
