  • To travel from Simón Bolívar International Airport (Maiquetía) to Ara Merú Lodge in the Canaima National Park region, you must undertake a multi-leg journey involving a domestic flight to the jungle hub of Canaima, followed by a river expedition. Direct road travel is not feasible due to the remote, protected nature of the destination.

    Phase 1: Airport Transfer (International to Domestic)

    Upon arrival at Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS), locate the Domestic Terminal (Terminal Nacional).

    The terminals are separate buildings connected by a covered pedestrian walkway (10–15 minute walk) or a free shuttle bus. Follow signs for "Terminal Nacional" or "Domestic Flights."

    Allow at least 2 hours between your international arrival and domestic departure to clear customs, collect luggage, and transfer terminals.

    Phase 2: Domestic Flight to Canaima

    Board a domestic flight from the Domestic Terminal at CCS to Canaima Airport (CAJ). Check current schedules with carriers such as: Conviasa,‍ ‍RUTACA Airlines, or Aerolíneas Estelar, which operate routes to Canaima. Note that schedules can be irregular.

    The flight duration is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. The flight offers scenic views of the tepuis (table-top mountains).

    Phase 3: River Expedition to Ara Merú Lodge

    Upon landing at Canaima Airport, you will not find standard taxis. Look for a representative from Ara Merú Lodge holding a sign with your name.

    If no representative is present, proceed to the main dock area in Canaima village (a short walk or local boat ride from the airport) and contact the lodge immediately using your pre-arranged contact details. Board a curiara (traditional dugout canoe) or motorized boat provided by the lodge.

    The river journey travels through the Carrao and Churún rivers, passing Angel Falls (weather permitting). This trip typically takes 3 to 4 hours depending on water levels and the specific location of the lodge within the indigenous community. Disembark at the lodge's private dock in Caserío Tururiwaipa.
