Orinoco and the Lost World

Trek up Roraima - the Lost World -

Venezuela is a country of contrasts and variety, both in terms of its population, which is a fascinating mix of indigenous groups, old Spanish families and more recent European immigrants, and its natural attractions.

Our trip concentrates more on the stunning scenery which can be found within its borders, but also includes visits to remote Indian settlements and Spanish colonial towns.

The most northerly extension of the Andes stretches into south-eastern Venezuela and surrounds the attractive colonial city of Mérida.

Although not as high as in other Andean countries, the peaks still reach over 4,800 metres. The highest mountain, Pico Bolívar, is, in common with many other places in Venezuela, named after the South American independence hero.
