Travel Blogs from Santa Elena, Venezuela
Angel falls... and getting drenched!
Finally after a very long and fairly lonely wait, the plane from Puerto Ordaz turns up, late (just like everything in Venezuela so far!). I'm then stuffed into the back seat of a 5 seater cessna and again no noe speaks any English! To be honest I'm ...
You can´t write stories like this!!
... claimed it was a fault in Sao Paulo but I think he was just trying to be all high and mighty! So we returned to Santa Elena empty handed weighing up our options.... 1. We just take money out in the traditional way at ATMs and pay the bank rate ...
En Venezuela stond niet eens op onze planning
... Venezuela. Opnieuw maximaal 90 dagen de tijd in t volgende land! Tijdens de 15km lange taxirit vanaf de grens naar het dorpje Santa Elena de Uairén bedenken we dat we de afgelopen paar weken zo druk bezig geweest zijn Brazilië te verlaten dat we totaal ...
Another Goodbye
... for lunch. Everyone was stiff and sore but glad to have accomplished it! There is a real sense of team spirit! When we returned to Santa Elena we arranged to meet for dinner at 8pm. Just enough time for us to go get showered, get our laundry handed in, ...
Trekking Day One
This morning should have been an early start to enable us to push on up the mountain but set backs seem to have occurred and we did not leave until after 10am (departure time was approximately 8.30am - but I guess that is the laid back South American ...
Pred Roraimou
Santa Elena je jednak vychozim bodem do narodniho parku Canaima a z nej zvlast na stolovou horu Roraimu (jak tomu bylo i pro nas) a pak poslednim mestem pred hranicnim prechodem do Brazilie, takze u vsech cerpacich stanic jsou kilometrove fronty aut, ...

Finding the Lost World
Roraima is one of many tepuys prevalent in the Gran Sabana of Venezuela. The town we were staying in, Santa Elena de Uairen, was rather touristy and set up for tours to this mountain. The town, being around 1,000m above sea level, was slightly cooler than ...
In the Land of the Falls
... famous for indigenous heritage, stunning and ever-mystical tabletop mountains or "tepuis" and countless of beautiful waterfalls. Once in Santa Elena, after crossing the border from Brazil, all the travel agencies were closed. I was interested in doing a ...
And Exactly What Are You Doing In Venezuela?
... scabs complaining and the coffee pumping through my veins and woke up in Boa Vista. I'd be getting a shared taxi to Santa Elena in Venezuela because I'd heard they thoroughly search everyone going over the border and it was quicker if you weren't on a ...
A land of mist and rain (in Venezuela?)
Roraima This mountain was one of the reasons I wanted to come to Venezuela, and it didn't disappoint. I have plenty of gripes about the tour, even though we went with the company that is supposedly the best, and is the most expensive. Just little ...
Journey To The Lost World: Day 4
Roraima 101. It's one of a range of tepuis that stretch through Parque Nacional Canaima in Venezuela, a tepui being a flat topped mountain that holds particular spiritual significance for the indigenous people known collectively as the Pemon people ...
To the worlds highest waterfall by plane and boat
We were up for breakfast at 6.30am and left at 7.30am for the airport. Jason (Canada) joins us and we wait until 9am to board the 6 seater Cessna. Its my first time in one of these. Its as cramped as Ryanair, has bigger windows, no trolley service and ...

Santa Elena D·Uairen
Het was wel leuk in da godverlaten dorpke en heel warm. Ik heb al een huwelijksaanzoek gekregen van de man waar ik dollars ben gaan wisselen en een hele lieve taxivrouw heeft me door de douane geholpen aan de grens. Amai, serieuze controle daar. Maar het ...

Santa Elena - Week 1
... I finally found it. It was all good after that - I only had to show the police my passport four more times all the way down to Santa Elena! Upon arriving in Santa Elena (about 15:30, I had told Manfred I would arrive at 13:00) another police made me ...

On the edge
The bus to St. Elena was the equivalent of the London No. 4 bus, only getting anywhere you´d want to go after going all around the houses - just over a much greater distance. It was a rickety thing and the road not brilliant. We arrived ...
