Countries Visited: Venezuela

Trekking in Venezuela's stunning subtropical table mountains

Southwestern Venezuela is a region of dense jungle and rolling grassland, dominated by immense sandstone table mountains known as tepuys. The inspiration for Conan Doyle's classic adventure novel, the bare cliffs of the tepuys tower almost 3000m above the surrounding countryside and harbour unique ecosystems with unusual plants, including several carnivorous species. We climb the highest tepuy, Mt Roraima, on a classic six-day trek, and also visit the largest, Auyan Tepuy, to get a close up view of the world's highest waterfall, the Angel Falls.

Venezuela is simply beautiful; the waterfalls breathtaking. Relatively undeveloped from a tourist perspective which is refreshing in many ways...fairly quiet…
