GUIANA ROBINSONS

1 DAY. Arrival to Caracas. Transfer to a regular evening flight of local airlines (Acerca) to Puerto Ordaz or Ciudad Bolivar. Accommodation at the hotel in Ciudad Bolivar. 
2 DAY. In the morning we drive to the airfield and board a small Cessna plane to fly to Canaima, Venezuela's largest national park. Upon arrival, we check into a bungalow, and after lunch we board a boat and head up the Carrao River to the Salto Angel Falls. On both banks of the river, breathtaking views open before us. Climbing up the turbulent Churun River, we disembark and walk to the foot of the tepui (ancient otsantsovy mountain) Auyan, from which the Angel Falls fall. We spend the night in hammocks in the camp at the foot of Auyan.

3 DAY. We return down the Carrao River to the “base” village of Canaima on the shores of the lake of the same name. After lunch, we board the boat again and go to the waterfalls, under one of which (Sapo) we even have to go!
4 DAY. Flight to Ciudad Bolivar, then to Caracas. Overnight in La Guaira.
5 DAY. Departure to the island of TRINIDAD. Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago. This colorful Caribbean city is famous for its variety of architectural styles and quirky mix of cultural life. Overnight at the hotel in the green part of the city.
6 DAY. Free time in Trinidad, trip to the beach. Flight to Georgetown - the capital of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.

DAY 7. Georgetown, getting to know the city, visiting the largest Anglican wooden cathedral in South America and the zoo, where you can even see manatees.

8 DAY. Flight by plane to the Kaieter waterfall in the heart of the Guyanese tropical jungle. This is one of the most breathtaking and interesting days on our journey, as we will get to know the relict flora and microfauna that have survived from the time of the dinosaurs, and see the waterfall itself - the most beautiful in the entire Guiana region, although not as high as Salto Angel in Venezuela. However, on the same day we have another short flight - to the town of Bartika on the Essequibo River. From here, we will cross by boat to Slot Island, where we will be accommodated in a hotel owned by a local ornithologist and gold merchant (in Guyana, such a combination is in the order of things). 
9 DAY. Marshall and White Water Falls. Sailing to the oldest Dutch fort Kik-Overal (Fort ter Hogen). Return to Slot Island. In the evening - boat trip to the island of parrots.

10 DAY. Return to Georgetown. On the way - sightseeing of Fort Zeeland - a former Dutch fortified trading post on the Essequibo River. Flight to Paramaribo (Suriname).

11 DAY. Paramaribo. Tour of Paramaribo - perhaps the most unusual capital of a South American country in its appearance. Separate quarters of Paramaribo resemble Holland, others do not resemble anything, they are unique in themselves. A trip to the Commenwijne area, where you will have the opportunity to see the former plantations.

12 DAY. Flight to the Indian village of Palumeu, a small settlement in the heart of the Surinamese jungle. Accommodation in a comfortable lodge.
13 DAY. On a motor canoe, we set off up the Palumeu River, go around the rapids of Trombak on foot and, again changing by canoe, we reach the camp (the total journey takes from 4 to 7 hours, depending on the speed of the water.

14 DAY. Climbing Mount Kasikasima. In addition to the fact that the mountain is amazingly beautiful in itself, it offers breathtaking views. The ascent is not difficult (the height of the mountain is only 718 m), accessible to people of average physical fitness. The descent and ascent takes about 8 hours.

15 DAY. Return downstream to Palumeu.

16 DAY. Visiting an Indian village, getting to know the life and customs of the Surinamese Indians. Flight to Paramaribo. 

17 DAY. Moving to French Guiana. Boat crossing over the Maroni river. Visit the former criminal camp Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, now a charming town on the border with Suriname. Transfer to the seaside town of Kourou. Hotel accommodation. 

18 DAY. Visit to the Museum of Guiana Cosmonautics. If you're lucky - watching the launch of the Guianan space rocket. Moving to Cayenne.

19 DAY. Cayenne. We will take a walking tour of the capital of French Guiana. In architectural terms, Cayenne only remotely resembles the homeland of France, although individual quarters can be compared with old French cities.. 

In the evening a plane is waiting for us, however... why don't we continue our journey, say, to BRAZIL? It is possible, and then you will make a dizzying journey from ORINOKO to AMAZON! After that, you will be able to proudly talk about what you really saw THE WHOLE GUIANA, from edge to edge!
