Venezuela | Independent holidays | Touring & wildlife

Touring and wildlife

Venezuela has some great opportunities for travelling in different landscapes, seeing different things, meeting different people and gaining a rich variety of wonderful travel experiences. With some fabulous wildlife too, it makes an excellent choice for a touring holiday.

There is a wealth of options for independent holidays.

Our Venezuelan Explorer itinerary is a grand tour covering many of Venezuela's highlights in 21 days but not going to the beach.

Classic itineraries are examples of shorter independent holidays visiting selected highlights around the country often with some beach time

Discovery itineraries explore particular regions in greater depth.

We can tailor-make your holiday to suit your individual style and budget: please call us to discuss ideas.

For the sample itineraries shown here we chose a style based on comfortable characterful lodges and posadas, and an easy pace while seeing a lot each day. We included a private guide in each region, who meets you on your arrival and is yours until your check-in for your onwards flight. You fly unaccompanied to your next destination, where a guide for that region will be waiting.

Private guides are usually stood down while you are staying at a wildlife lodge or at the beach.

For a touring and wildlife holiday with an escorted small group , our Venezuelan Odyssey is a firm favourite.

For birdwatching, please see our dedicated birdwatching section.
