The Gran Sabana Jeep Safari and the hike Mt Roraima the is one of the highlights of your Venezuela Gap Year.

The hike sure its tough, but the rewards are waiting for you at the top. On top of the world, you can see so far. It really does feel (and looks) like the moon. It’s a fun six days. The group will be accompanied  by two guides and a local Pemon Indian guide making  it so much better than just a walk up a large 2800m Tepuy.
