Sightseeing Tours

Lost World Adventures specializes in tailoring an independent travel itinerary around your interests. The founder of this U.S.-based company once lived in Venezuela, so he knows his way around. The company also leads small-group expeditions of 7 to 11 days throughout Venezuela -- they'll set you up to travel from the Andes to Angel Falls and everywhere in between -- and several other Latin American countries.

A reputable tour operator in Caracas is Orinoco Tours, centrally located on Bulevar de Sabana Grande. This well-run company, which often offers rates much lower than competitors, specializes in ecotourism in Venezuela.
