Angel Falls
This is simply sleeping in a hammock facing Angel Falls. You can stay overnight near the base of Angel Falls in camps that Pemon Indians have in the area. The accommodation is pretty basic, it's just a campsite with hammocks (called a Jolly). The environment is great and at night you can admire the waterfall under the moonlight. The Pemon are exceptional people who have a very rich culture and yet have adapted to the times and offer tourist services. It's very easy to approach them to hear their local legends. The most interesting, no doubt, is the origin of the name of Canaima.
For the Pemon, the "canaimos" are evil spirits that possess people and make them hurt themselves, they could even kill a person under its influence. I personally had never slept all night in a hammock before, but it's really an interesting experience. You sleep pretty well. There are a number of tour operators that do this route. We went with KAVAC Expeditions.
