Canaima Lagoon, Venezuela. Part I. Ucaima Waterfall VR 360
This was AirPano's second trip to Venezuela, and even so, it was not an easy one. We did not choose the best time to travel: Venezuela is facing an economic and social crisis. After hearing about our plans, friends tried to talk us out of it, some even thought we were crazy. Nevertheless, we made the long transatlantic flight, and the old Douglas was on its way to Canaima. There weren't many passengers - mostly us and our luggage that didn't fit in the baggage compartment. Canaima is a national park in southeastern Venezuela, practically cut off from civilization. No roads lead here, the only way to get here is by air or water. In the distance we could see the Canaima Lagoon and the table mountains known as tepuis. We had arrived!!! After getting off the plane, we unloaded our luggage and loaded it into the truck, which bounced merrily over the bumps, taking us to our lagoon-side lodge. We were greeted at the entrance by exotic parrots and a “friendly” pet toucan who tried to bite off a couple of my toes as a sign of friendship. The next day we planned to take a helicopter flight to Angel Falls, but for now we wanted to rest a bit after our long journey.
