Trekking


The most popular area for trekkers visiting Venezuela is the Gran Sabana region in the south-east. This is a magical land of grassy plains interspersed by bizarre sandstone peaks - the scenery can’t help but herald wonder and amazement. Roraima at 2,810 metres is the tallest peak. The hike up is moderate, the views stupendous and there’s the chance to discover previously unknown species that reside aloft the isolated mountain top.
In northern Venezuela is the small colonial town of Merida and the start point for an epic trek through the northern-most reaches of the Andes Mountains. Pico Bolivar and Pico Humboldt at 5,007 and 4,942 metres respectively are the two highest peaks in the country. Multiple day-treks through the surrounding areas cross glaciers, ford streams and eventually reach the summits; this type of trip presents a challenging but rewarding adventure.
