During the ride we’ll briefly visit the best known parks of the city, Cachamay and La Llovizna (closed on Mondays), we’ll have a lunch break at a typical local restaurant and go on to the goldmine area, visiting the famous village of El Callao. After passing El Dorado, where the prison out of the book “Papillon” is, we’ll go up to the highest part of La Gran Sabana, checking out the mysterious stone of the Virgin and the monument of the soldier Pioniero. At dinner time we’ll arrive at camp Kamoiran where you’ll be assigned your rooms without private bathroom, where we’ll stay and enjoy dinner.

When we get back we’ll have lunch in a small restaurant and continue to Santa Elena de Uairén, border city between Venezuela and Brazil. During the trip we’ll see the Kama Meru. Once we arrive at Camp Yakoo, we’ll set up in rooms with private bathrooms. Afterwards we’ll have dinner.
