Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.

Our Comment

Venezuela is unjustly neglected as a holiday destination: there, you can have a real in- depth and unspoilt Latin American experience,  getting to know cowboys in the llanos plains, indians on the banks of the Orinoco, beauty queens in Caracas.
The soft-sand, palm-fringed Caribbean beaches are quite superb, the Andean peaks glitter with permament snow and, to top it all, you have the spectacle of the waterfall with the world's longest drop, Angel Falls, in a lost world of plateaux.
Claire Milner, Client Information Manager.
