Dining

Food options at and near Carrao Airport are extremely limited, with most meals provided through lodge or camp packages. Visitors should expect traditional Venezuelan fare including cachapas, arepas, and simple grilled meats served at eco-lodges. It is strongly advised to arrange full-board accommodation before arrival, as independent dining facilities are scarce.

Traveller Tips
  • Book all flights and accommodation well in advance, as capacity in this remote area is very limited.
  • Carry sufficient local currency (bolívares) as card payment facilities are essentially nonexistent in the area.
  • Pack light — small charter aircraft have strict baggage weight limits, typically 10–15 kg per passenger.
  • The rainy season (June–November) brings higher water levels ideal for Angel Falls views but can cause flight delays.
