Ciudad Bolivar Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

Endelig fremme

Fredag 15.07 - Vi sitter nå på flyplassen i Carraras - Venezuela… Det har vært en lang dags reise… Vi reiste fra Gardermoen Airport Hotel 0445 - der har de en deal om at hvis man sover der en natt - så står bilen gratis parkert til du er tilbake. Vi sov derfor på hotell, sto opp kl 0400 - spiste frokost - flyet til Paris gikk kl …

Ciudad Bolivar

Got the nightbus here to connect with Canaima National park . Francisco (Turisticos Alverez in Pousada Michelle) talked us into it with a price of 1800 bf.(200 euro) which is about as cheap as you can get for the Angel falls trip. He is a really nice lad who seems to like his job. He will find you before you find him as he's based in …

Back to sit in a bus station for 5 hours

Came back on the small plane to Ciudad Bolivar and then sat in the bus station for a bus that was supposed to leave at 8... but left at 11!!!!!! Lovely

Closeup to the Angel Falls and back to Canaima

My stomach is upset all night. We get up at 5.30am, have a coffee and hike up through rocks and roots to the viewpoint close to the falls. Only 2 problems, I feel like **** and its raining but its hot. We help one of the women over the stones. They are a gas group. Carmen is the mother (approx 60) who ran up the hour long hike fitter than a 21yr …

Chasing Waterfalls

I cant believe I have been in Venezuela for almost three weeks now and have not communicated with you all on my journey - I think I may have fallen into the Venezuelan mind set that not only is tomorrow another day but the day after next and the next.... The people here are way too chilled and so enjoy a more relaxing way of life. It does however …

End of the road

We arrived in Ciudad Bolivar approximately 5am with Henry and Glenn. Ciudad Bolivar has got its name because its the place where Simon Bolivar declared independance from the Spanish. Allthough this didnt come until 10 years later. Ciudad Bolivar is the last town before the southern Venezuelan Jungle. As we had quite a few hours to kill before our …

The Angel Falls

Another long bus journey of 28 hours took me from Brazil into Ciudad Bolivar, a smallish city whose only attraction is being a base for excursions to the Angel Falls. Although Cuidad Bolivar has quite a nice old center, is is basically deserted, and it is a struggle to find a restaurant there. The city, along with the rest of Venezuela, suffers …

Organisation never ever pays off!

My wake up call was requested for 5am, which I received ´with bells on´! not only did the phone ring several times in the half hour running up to 5am, that was then followed by a lot of shouting outside and then Mr Hotel Santiago himself came knocking on my door dead on 5, telling me it ´really´ was time to get up or I´d be late (reminds me of …

Angel Falls, Ciudad Bolivar

Travelled via ferry and coach to Ciudad Bolivar (12hrs). We did the day trip to Angel falls the following day. It started with a hair raising hours flight on a 5 seater Cessna to Canaima, an indigenous village close to the falls. Canaima is situated on lagoon fed on one side by a series of waterfalls - stunning (see pic). A short boat trip across …
