Instead, you have to go to the actual airline office at the airport and purchase your ticket in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That or hire a local travel agency to do it for you, for an additional fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I paid around 150 USD for a round-trip ticket from Caracas to Canaima, from Sunday to Thursday, but prices may change depending on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\">\ud83c\udfe8 Where to stay in Canaima and how to book your accommodation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers making a trip to Angel Falls are technically required to book accommodation in Canaima for their entire stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, upon arrival, there isn\u2019t anybody checking whether you&#8217;ve already booked accommodation or not, but since camping is not allowed, you\u2019ll have to stay in a lodge anyways, and so booking in advance is highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, there are around 10-15 lodges scattered along the shores of Lake of Canaima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To book a room, just contact the property directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the lodges all only sell 4 or 5-day packages that tend to include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Airport pick up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accommodation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All meals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trip to Angel Falls (this could be either an overnight trip or a day trip)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Half-day trip around Canaima Lake<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note that prices are always per person.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except for 2 or 3 lodges, all of them try to attract the Venezuelan elite, charging similar sums to 5-star hotels in European cities, although they are far less luxurious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter

href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/5ShpGugYcNvhqB6RA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Campamento Wey TuPu<\/a><\/strong>, which is run by a Pemon family, unlike most other lodges, which are run either by people from Caracas or by foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where I stayed, and I couldn\u2019t have been happier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s true that the rooms and facilities were very modest and basic, I felt I was giving something directly to the local community, plus the local family was absolutely lovely and accommodating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the day you visit Angel Falls, you will be sleeping on a hammock right in front of the waterfall, and you will be staying at the same place, eating the same food and using the same toilet as people who paid $1500 to stay in one of the luxury lodges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Wey TuPu, I paid $480 for the whole package, excluding flights and the entrance fee to the park, which was $40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background has-small-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#eaeaea\"><strong>Warning: The Lodge Mafia in Canaima National Park<\/strong><br>Depending on the week or season, you won\u2019t be able to book your flight from Caracas to Canaima with Conviasa unless you have a reservation in one of the fancy luxury lodges. The reason for this is that they have an agreement with the airline under which they get the right to reserve all seats for themselves. This means that if you&#8217;ve made a reservation at the indigenous lodge of Wey TuPu, the airline might potentially reject your booking, as sad as it sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\">\u26c5 Best time to visit Angel Falls and Canaima<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best season for your trip to Angel Falls and Canaima National Park: June to November<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>June to November is the rainy season, when Angel Falls is at its fastest-flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dry season: December to May<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>December is when the dry season starts and the later you travel to Canaima, the less water you\u2019ll find, to the extent that at the very end of the dry season, the boats might not even depart to Angel Falls due to the low level of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I visited Canaima in the month of January. There wasn\u2019t a lot of water but everything was pretty amazing anyway. Another advantage is that you always get clear skies, while during the rainy season, Angel Falls can be shrouded in clouds and mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/How-to-get-to-Angel-Falls-683x1024.avif\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/How-to-get-to-Angel-Falls-683x1024.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/againstthecompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/How-to-get-to-Angel-Falls-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"How to get to Angel Falls\" class=\"wp-image-48819\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is how Angel Falls looks like in January<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\">\ud83d\uded6 How to plan trip to Angel Falls: Things to do in Canaima National Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, this is the itinerary most lodges will be offering you, including Wey TuPu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5\">Day 1 &#8211; Arrival and tour around Canaima Lake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After lunch, your guide will probably take you around Canaima Lagoon on the canoe, visiting impressive waterfalls such as Salto del Hacha or El Sapo, with an opportunity to hike just behind the water curtain, which is pretty amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6\">Day 2 &#8211; Trip to Angel Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trips to Angel Falls are always made in a canoe that can fit up to 10 passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole boat trip takes around 5 hours, with a picnic stop included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that at the end of the dry season, the trip can take longer and you are likely to walk for the last kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few campsites near the waterfall, all of them pretty basic and featuring a few dozen hammocks. Some of the fancy lodges &#8211; like Waku Lodge &#8211; have their own campsite offering a bit more comfort, but not all of them.
