Canaima & Guayana
How much does an Angel Falls tour cost and what should it include?
Official stated by a public body on its page, in a statement or in the Gazette. Reported from operators, press or travel media, with their date. Unconfirmed no reliable source: confirm before you go.
An Angel Falls tour costs from about US$670 per person in an economy camp to about US$2,190 in a luxury lodge, once you add the Caracas–Canaima flight and the park fee. One operator publishes a 4-day, 3-night tour with the flight included from US$840, plus US$40 park entry. The prices are from 2026 but no source dates them exactly, so get a quote in writing.
How much is an Angel Falls excursion?
There are two ways to buy: a lodge package (you sleep in Canaima and buy the flight separately) or an operator tour (which may include the flight). Prices are not comparable until you put everything on the same basis. This is what is published, and our sum:
| Option | Published price | Flight (~150) + fee (40) | Approx. total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy camp (Wey TuPu), 4- or 5-day package | US$480 without flight or fee | extra | ≈ US$670 |
| Mid-range (Morichal Lodge, Parakaupa) | ≈ US$1,000 | extra | ≈ US$1,190 |
| Luxury lodge (Waku, Tapuy, Campamento Canaima, Ara Merú, Waka Wená) | ≈ US$1,600 (1,500–2,000 in the same guide) | extra | ≈ US$1,690–2,190 |
| Operator, 4 days and 3 nights, Thursday to Sunday | from US$840 with flight included | fee only, US$40 | ≈ US$880 (+ 40 for a single room) |
The first three rows come from Against the Compass, updated Sept 15, 2026 Reported. The operator row comes from the Osprey Expeditions page Reported. The totals are our calculation: we add the flight of about US$150 round trip and the US$40 park entry cited by the guide, and we assume the fee is extra at the lodges Unconfirmed.
Other extras the guide cites: a helicopter flight over the falls at US$500 per passenger, and alcohol, which you buy separately Reported.
What does a Canaima tour include?
What one operator publishes for its 4-day, 3-night tour Reported:
| Included | Not included |
|---|---|
| Caracas–Canaima flights | International flight and travel insurance |
| Motorised canoe on the lagoon and on the Churún and Carrao rivers | Canaima Park entry: US$40 per person, payable only on site |
| The meals listed in the itinerary, with special diets if you tell them in advance | Transfers to and from Maiquetía (optional service, no price) |
| Hammocks and a basic guesthouse or camp | Tips, drinks, laundry and souvenirs |
| Guides in Spanish and English | Porters at Angel Falls |
That same page contradicts itself on lodging: in one place it says one night in a hammock and two in a guesthouse, and in another, two in hammocks and one in a guesthouse. Ask in writing how many nights and where.
Lodge packages, per the September 2026 guide, include airport pickup, lodging, all meals, the trip to the falls (same day or overnight) and a half-day canoe trip on the Canaima lagoon Reported.
3, 4 or 5 days: what changes
| Length | What is published |
|---|---|
| 3 days, 2 nights | One operator offers the expedition from Caracas, with a flight to Canaima and a night in front of the falls; it does not publish a price Reported |
| 4 days, 3 nights | Weekly departure Thursday to Sunday, groups of 8 to 12; lagoon and waterfalls on day one, a hike to the Laime viewpoint on day two and the canoe back on day three Reported |
| 4 or 5 days | The only thing the guesthouses sell, per the September 2026 guide; the fifth day is free or departure Reported |
The September guide recommends sleeping at the camp in front of the falls and advises against the one-day trip Reported. The Thursday-to-Sunday departure matches the days Conviasa flies to Canaima, per the rest of our Angel Falls and Canaima guide.
When is there water?
The operator marks June to December as the best time. The dry season runs from late January to early June and you can still reach the falls “with more effort, with no guarantee of access” Reported. The same operator refunds US$100 if extreme drought makes river access impossible Reported. That is one company’s policy: ask what yours does.
What to ask before you pay
Does the price include the Caracas–Canaima flight?
Per the September 2026 guide, the domestic flight is not sold online to foreign cards: it is paid in cash at the Conviasa office or through an agency for a fee Reported. A tour with the flight included spares you that step.
Is the park fee extra?
US$40 per person and, at one operator, payable only on site Reported. Bring the cash.
Where do you sleep the night in front of the falls?
The guide warns that not every lodge has its own camp there; confirm whether yours does or shares one Reported.
What if there is no water?
Get the refund or the alternative in writing.
Who picks you up at Maiquetía?
The transfer may be extra. See how the airport is doing today and arrange it before you fly.
Are you dealing with the lodge or an intermediary?
A 2024 commenter on the September guide said a camp's Google contact turned out to be a travel agency, and another recommended writing to the owner; the author did not confirm it Unconfirmed. Ask who takes your money and who provides the service.
Does your insurance cover Canaima?
No official source requires insurance to enter, but some policies exclude or void cover in countries with “do not travel” advisories. Ask in writing: see what to ask the insurer.
Safety: check the map before you book
Canaima is in Bolívar state, south of the Orinoco.
