Just a quick note to say muchas gracias for organising the tour in Los Llanos
I have more memories from the four days
and three nights that I spent piranha fishing
and exploring in Los Llanos than I have from
an entire month in Merida.
I would recommend you to anyone I meet
who is planning a trip to Venezuela.

We booked our tour with Osprey Expeditions Venezuela whilst we were staying at the Backpackers Hostel in Caracas. Ben was incredibly helpful and told us all the possibilities available in Venezuela. He eventually arranged a 3 days/2 nights tour to the Angel Falls which was absolutely fantastic!!

As well as the Angel Falls, we got to see so many other things including the unforgettable Sapo Falls, only 40 meters high but to walk behind them was an amazing experience.

Roraima, Angel Falls et Los Roques : extra! On a passé de tres grand moments pendant ces 15 jours. Tout a été tres bien organisé, tout en nous laissant suffisamment de liberté et de choix pour que nous n'ayions pas l'impression d'etre en voyage de groupe. Ben a été très très prévoyant et de très bon conseil. Excellent service, excellente organisation, et tres sympathique de surcroit! Il est venu nous chercher à l'aéroport, nous a meme fait faire un tour dans Caracas.

Roraima a été le sommet de notre voyage. Fantastique. Meme si on etait en saison des pluies, on a eu beaucoup de chance et peu de pluie la journée, superbes paysages, nature inimitable, et quelle sensation que de se trouver sur le bord de la 'window' avec cette impression de marcher sur les nuages! Magique! Demandez Ray comme guide, succès assuré!

LosRoques sera également inoubliable : accueil charmant, lieu superbe. Et rien qu'avec masque et tuba, que de poissons! Ne faites pas comme nous, n'hésitez pas a acheter un appareil photo sous-marin!

On avait choisi le Venezuela un peu à la derniere minute, mais on ne regrette qu'une chose : de ne pas avoir eu + de temps et ne pas y avoir été + tot!

Voila dejà presque 1 mois du Venezuela et pas d’embrouille… Merci Ben pour tous les efforts que tu as fait pour nous, tous a été vraiment parfais. Le programme que tu nous a planifié étais exellent, Bravo ! Tous d’abord le tour dans les delta de l’Orinoco, splendide ! Ensuite Canaima, pas d’autre mots, magnifique ! Merida et les Andes, un grand moment a dos de mulets, génial ! Coro et ça magnifique Posada Los Pajaros, incroyable ! De Coro à la côte, joli surtout Puerto Colombia mais Chichiriviche deçu, meme ça plus belle plage à Islas Sombrero étais très sale, sinon le reste, Bien ! Margarita, ok, sympa ! Mais attention quand même avec la compagnie d’aviation Aeropostal !!! (quelqu’un a vu mon numerique ?) Voilà et nous dans 6h nous allons fêter la nouvelle année alors bonne année a tous et encore merci à Ben et tous.

Firstly, Ben did a wonderful job putting together an exciting itinerary for us by email before we arrived in Venezuela- which meant that all we had to do was decide which of the fabulous beaches top head for at the end of our trip ! Merida was the loveliest Venezuelan city we visited and paragliding is a must! Soaring up in the Andes blew our minds, and the view from out Posada was to die for. Los Llanos tour rocked!! It exceeded our expectations completely. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and we saw so many different species of birds and animals- anacondas, piranha, capybaras, otters, river dolphins and even a jaguar! It was a real wildlife adventure. Really, Ben has made our trip to Venezuela a really enjoyable, seamlessly organized experience. He has been available for advice 24/7- which is true dedication! Thank you for everything,

Sono già 20 giorni che viaggio a traverse il Venezuela e devo dire che ci sono dei posti veramente magnifici. La prima parte e stata nel Delta Del Orinoco…. assolutamente stupendo! Natura ancora selvaggia e intatta e contatto con gente molto gentile. Caso o mai: l’indirizzo del campo e: Boca de Tigre edè il posto dove abbiamo mangiato come dei rè. Poi sono stato a Canaima.... di nuovo una incrediblile esperienza- da non perdere! Tutti i due tour organizzati a meraviglia con guide eccellent, che mi hanno imparato molte cose sulia gente, paese e fauna. Di sicuro ne reparto piu ricco di  prima e molto contento. Da vedere: Merida ma se possibile con la propria auto salendo da valeria passando dal colle a piu di 4000m. Puerto Colombia con la strada... che vale la pena di vederla. Da lasciare perdere: Chichiriviche… non è un gran che… E ci sarebbero ancora tante cose da verdere, ma forse per un altra volta… Grazie Mille, Gracie Ben,

Since my first email to Osprey Expeditions, Rupert and Ben have been very helpful in the organisation of all our trips and transfers in Venezuela. I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do, but Rupert put it all into a great plan for our holiday. We took trips to Angel Falls and Canaima, followed by the Los Llanos topur and a few days on the beach. Osprey took the hassle out of travelling to these wonderful places with their detailed knowledge of the country. If you’re on a tight schedule, I would certainly recommend Osprey as the travel agent to go to. Just sit back and let these guys do the hard work for you. Thanks for your help,

I have had a excellent time in Venezuela being more relaxed in the trip to Angel Falls and Los Llanos than I have felt in a long time. The Posada in Ciudad Bolivar and the campo at Barinas were excellent set- beautiful surroundings and with top quality food and friendly staff. Osprey Expeditions’ assisrtance has been invaluable in maing sure we made the most of our two weeks here in Venezuela and I would recommend their assistance to anyone. Los Llanos trip was particularly memorable- finding anacondas, running with an anteater and fishing for piranha (which are the only fish I have caught in my life) are experiences that will remain with me for many years. All the guides were excellent (particularly Camilo for Los Llanos). Thanks again.

Kjaere Ben!
Tusen takk for all hjelp vi har faatt her i Venezuela! Det var en stor overralskelse at du prata dansk da vi traff deg! Vi har faatt sett mye dette fantastiske landet! Puerto Colombia var en myk start paa en noksaa aktiv ferie. En söt liten by aa feriere i. Etter noen dager dro vi videre til Coro. Vi hadde en deilig natt paa La Casa de Los Pajaron för vi reiste ut til Peninsula de Paraguana hvor et flott og fasinerende syn mötte oss: en rasa innsjö.
Deretter vendte vi nesen sörover til Merida og Andesfjellene. Vi ble i dette omraadet lenger en vi hadde tenkt. Det er veldig mye aa se pa Pico Bolivar. Hadde ikke hellet med oss, det ver nemlig overskya. Vi gikk ogsaa til den lille fjell-landsbyen Los Nevados. Det tok oss sju timer aa komme froan og det regna i fem av disse. En blir veldig vaat av slikt! Det var deilig aa komme til Posada Bella Vista og faa deilig arepa fra Andesfjelleneog en vidunderlig lokal suppe. Nam! Los Llanos-hvilken tur! Her kom vi veldig naert inn paa naturen. Vi hadde en koselig rating tur en enda koseligere fisketur med piraja fiskeren Carlos! Mannen dro opp 50 fisk i löpet av 15 min. Sprött....Det somgjorde mest inntrykk var aa bo paa e lokal gaard sammen med familien der. Det er utrolig hvor mye man kan klare seg uten. Etter en lang og slitsom tur fra Merida var vi i Ciudad Bolivar, her bodde vi paa Posada La Casita. Nydelig basseng og deilig mat! Angel Falls og Canaima var e tur vi ikke kunne klart oss uten. Vi hadde noen fantastiske guider og fikk opplevd fossene paa naert hold. Et skikkelig adrenalin-kick! Vi avsluttet turen vaar i paradiset Los Roques-deilige sandstrender og klart vann! Veldig gald for at vi brukke höy solfaktor... Venezuela har vaert et flott reisemaal. Vi har mött mange vennlige mennesker og fatt mye hjelp. Vi er veldig godt for nöyde med turen! Tak for oss takk for at du kjöpte hengeköyer til oss. Vi kommer til aa anbefale Osprey Expeditions till alle som har tekkt seg til Venezuela!
