Visiting Angel Falls, the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, is an unforgettable, albeit challenging, adventure within Canaima National Park, Venezuela. Accessibility is limited, typically requiring a flight to Canaima village, followed by a multi-day motorized canoe trip upriver and a jungle trek to the base of the falls. Due to the remote location, challenging terrain, and the need for local expertise, guided tours are mandatory; solo visits are not feasible or permitted. The best time to visit is during the wet season (May to November) when river levels are high enough for boat travel and the falls are at their most powerful, though cloudy weather can occasionally obscure views. Dry season visits (December to April) might face low river levels, making boat travel difficult. The approximate cost is substantial, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500+ USD per person for a typical 3-4 day package from Canaima, covering flights, guides, food, and basic accommodation (hammocks/tents). Visitors should be in good physical condition for trekking and come prepared for basic facilities and potential mosquito-borne illnesses, making local Pemon guides and a reputable tour operator essential for a safe and enriching experience.
