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
This holiday combines two very different environments in Venezuela - the dense tropical jungle and simple indian tribes of the Orinoco Delta's myriad of channels, and the glorious rugged coastline of remote Paria Peninsula on the Caribbean coast, with its own Caribbean/colonial Spanish culture and where you stay at a charming posada with its own beach.
