La Gran Sabana |
|
La Gran Sabana,
one of the most impressive places in the Venezuelan
territory, this located in the national Park of Canaima, the
oldest formations in the earth find them here, in the
tepuyes that surround part of the Gran
Sabana, this vast region of
infinite and undulant sabanas
contrasts with their tepuyes. |

We will be able to observe as the
placidness of their natural past it revives among savannas,
forests, and jumps that seem to flood our thoughts, we will
enjoy their charms and of the immense natural potential that
presents us. La Gran Sabana
this flanked by beautiful jumps, waterfalls, and wells each
one with their history full with magic and mysticism. Their
climate is welcoming and fresh. This will be an unique
experience full with magic and beauty. |

The Gran Sabana
occupies about half of Canaima National Park, which was
established in 1962. In 1975, Canaima was tripled in size to
30,000 km2, making it the largest national park in the world
(slightly larger than Maryland and about the size of
Belgium). In 1994, Canaima National Park became a World
Heritage Site, in recognition of the extraordinary scenery,
geology, and biology. How could we resist the urge to visit
such a place? |

The Gran Sabana of
southeastern Venezuela is a very beautiful, remote plateau at
the edge of civilization. It's covered by extensive, rolling
grass savannas from which arise the famous table mountains,
locally branded "tepuis," the most famous of which are Roraima
("The Lost World" of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), and Auyantepui
(site of Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world,
plummeting 3212 ft).

|
There are tropical forests skirting the base of many of the
tepuis, and throughout the Sabana are riverine forests and "morichales,"
seasonally flooded stands of sedges and native moriche palms (Mauritia
flexuosa) which provide oil, sugar, and shade. |

It
was dubbed "The Tree of Life" by Alexander von Humboldt, one
of the first European travelers to this area. The climate of
the Gran Sabana is mild and very agreeable, partly due to the
altitude of 2200-2500' (700-800m), and the continual fresh,
buoyant winds. In short, a very promising orchid habitat. |
