Designated as a national park in 1.962, this park covers an area of 30.000 km2 and contains some of the oldest rocks on the planet which have generated a dream landscape, unique in the world. It is located in the Bolívar State, south of the mighty Orinoco river and it is the largest in Venezuela and the sixth in the world.

   The eastern part of the park is called the Gran Sabana, an endless beautiful high plateau with tropical rain forests and savannas, many rivers and spectacular water falls. This region is home to many Pemón indigenous peoples who live at the base of the majestic tepuys. Walking, running, swimming, camping, hiking, picture taking and wildlife viewing are possible in this magnificent setting.

   Our trip to Gran Sabana starts in Ciudad Bolivar or Puerto Ordaz, both located on the shores of the Orinoco river. From here we travel in small groups for several days traversing about 600 km to the Brazilian border.
