Epic Angel Falls Trek: My trip through Venezuela’s Gran Sabana

Ready to chase epic waterfalls and magical landscapes? 🌊🏞️ My trip through Venezuela’s Gran Sabana, Colombia’s Belen de Umbria, and Sucre delivered non-stop adventure, jaw-dropping nature, and real gems you can’t miss!

Top Spots to Visit:
- Angel Falls, 8011, Bolívar, Venezuela (open all day, year-round): The planet’s tallest drop! For the best experience, take the Angel Falls Adventure with Canaima Tours to access unbeatable viewpoints and guided hikes. Bring a waterproof phone bag, rain can surprise you fast!
- Salto Del Ángel, Belen de Umbria, Risaralda, Colombia: Don’t confuse it with Venezuela’s falls—this spot is lush, local, and less busy. Arrive early for calm mornings and fresher views.
- Ermita de Santa María de los Ángeles, 4548+FCJ, Paraitepuy, Bolívar, Venezuela: This tiny chapel is a perfect Good Vibes rest stop on your Gran Sabana drive. Duck inside for a quick breather and local stories.
- Cuevas de Kavak, Parque Nacional Canaima, Cueva de Kavak, Uruyén 8001, Bolívar (6:00–12:00): Trek through wild rainforest to these misty caves. Tours leave early, so pack snacks and water bottles. The caves can get slippery—wear proper shoes!
- Posada Los Ángeles del Valle, 7H95+XG, Santa Fé, Sucre: Your homey base after hiking, with real-deal Venezuelan food and sunset valley views that totally hit different.

Getting Around:
Most spots are remote—organize local 4x4 rides or guided tours with Trip.com for hassle-free transport. Book ahead, especially in high season!

Food? Try traditional arepas at your posada and bring some packaged snacks for trail days. Night markets in Santa Fé are lively and cheap.

Key Tips:
Weather switches fast—pack rain gear. Cash is essential, since ATMs are spotty in remote parts. No visas for most Western tourists, but always double-check before you go!
