Perched on the banks of the Rio Branco in Brazil’s northernmost state, Boa Vista is a modern yet tranquil capital that feels worlds away from the bustle of larger cities. Its planned layout of wide avenues and open squares gives it a spacious and peaceful feel, while the riverside comes alive with sandy beaches, food stalls, and music as the sun sets over the water. Travellers can wander through colourful markets filled with Indigenous crafts, taste Amazonian flavours, or soak up the warmth of local hospitality. Beyond the city, Boa Vista is the gateway to extraordinary adventures, from the otherworldly tabletop summit of Mount Roraima to the sweeping savannahs and waterfalls of Roraima’s interior, making it a true frontier destination.
Canaima National Park is a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site in the southeastern corner of Venezuela. Its 3 million hectares are home to such rich natural wonders as Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall at almost 1000m, and undulating lowlands punctuated by awe-inspiring table mountains or 'tepuis'. This is an environment teeming with animal life, including giant anteaters, giant armadillos, jaguars and pumas. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound with sightings of Brazilian Tapir, Red Howler Monkeys, Uacari monkeys, and over 600 bird species soar above this beautiful landscape. Experience the majestic heights of these tepuis first-hand as you boat or trek the dense jungle. Enjoy the flora found alongside flat grassy savannas and hidden waterfalls - crowned by the vast 700 km² plateau of Auyan-tepui.
