RORAIMA TEPUY
 Itinerary
Day 01Â Â Gran SabanaÂ
Early Pick up at your hotel at Pto Ordaz and ground transfer to La Gran Sabana, Canaima National Park . You will drive through cattle ranches and mining town until reaching La escalera where you will drive up to 1400 meters and reach La Gran Sabana. Accommodations at rustic lodge in the indigenous village San Francisco de Yuruani. Trek briefing with your guide.
Day 02 Tek River Camp
After breakfast you board a 4WD vehicle and go off road to the Indian community of Paraitepui. Directly ahead of us is the massive, symmetrical bulk of Mount Roraima. Begin trekking followed by our Indian porters. Today we sleep in tents at Tek River
Day 03 Base Camp
Begin the Trek crossing Tek & Kukenam rivers. Continue the long incline that leads gradually uphill to the base of Roraima vertical, 2,000 foot cliffs. Basecamp is located at the foot of Roraima spectacular walls. Here we have breathtaking views of the savannah rolling away into the distance as well as the splendid rose-colored cliffs rising straight up above us toward the mountain’s flat summit
Day 04 Summit Camp
Today’s ascent follows a natural ledge along the cliff face, allowing the only non-technical access to the summit. This route passes through steep, jungle-like terrain that requires good stamina but no climbing skills. After 5 hours, we suddenly arrive to the summit gazing at the strange, fascinating landscape. Our tents are pitched in natural caves that provide shelter from wind and rain
Day 05 Summit Exploration
Full day to explore the fantasy land atop Roraima’s mysterious summit. The eroding forces of constant wind and rain have formed giant stone sculptures; house-sized slabs balanced precariously on slender spires; the arches and pillars of a forgotten Lost WorldÂ
Day 06 Descent to Tek Camp
Last morning to enjoy the summit. Maybe a last encounter with the Roraima endemic frog or a carnivorous plant before we begin our long return down through the cloud-forest. After lunch and a refreshing dip in the stream below the campsite, we continue to Kukenan River and camp at Rio Tek
Day 07 Gran Sabana
Continue Trek to Paraitepui where our vehicle awaits with cold beer and sodas. We board the vehicle and take final looks toward Roraima summit, remembering the bizarre rock formations and unique flora and fauna we discovered. Stop for lunch at Yuruani where you should have opportunities to purchase some of the woven baskets, backpacks, fishing bows, arrows, and other local crafts. Accommodations at Yuruani lodge.
Day 08 Final Views & Departure
We bid farewell to the sweeping landscapes of La Gran Sabana as we board our private transport and head toward Puerto Ordaz. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the changing scenery on the drive back to the city, where comfort awaits at your hotel

My son and I visited Roraima with Akanan Adventures. It was a fantastic trip (10 out of 10)It was great being on the top of Roraima without anyone outside of our group. What a spectacular place. Our guide, porter and cook were terrific! Highly recommend them

We did a 6 day 5 night trek and loved every second of it. We had a team of 5 Pemon porters, all from the same family and they were terrific. If you like adventurous hikes, and prefer to be away from crowds of people then Roraima/Kukenam should absolutely be on your list of treks to do.

Thanks to AAdventures for invaluable support during our family trip through Venezuela! What a country! We fell in love with it. Diverse landscapes, lush nature, a rich culture, and a sense of solidarity within society are what make Venezuela so special!
