Traveller Tips
  • Carry sufficient cash as ATM access in Pacaraima is limited and unreliable.
  • Border crossing formalities with Venezuela are nearby — ensure all travel documents are in order.
  • The altitude and equatorial climate mean strong sun and sudden rain; pack light layers and sun protection.
  • Confirm flights directly with operators as schedules are irregular and subject to change at short notice.
