Ucaima Lodge, Carrao River

Located inside the Canaima National Park, just two kilometers away of the Canaima Lagoon with an exceptional location by the Carrao river, it is a wonderful tourist lodge with plenty of comfort in the forest:It was founded by the legendary Rudolf Truffino, known as Jungle Rudy (1956) who was charmed by the scenic beauties of this millennial region and decided to settle down with his wife, to show all the visitors few of the secrets of the jealously saved nature in this land of table top mountains also known as Tepuyes. He named this camp "Ucaima”, which is the Pemón word for “what the water attracts.” Today this family tradition continues in his daughters' hands, for the enjoyment of all the tourists, from then on and always.
