Hiking in Venezuela ranges from easy roadside walks to multi-day expeditions on two-billion-year-old tepui summits. The country gives you a lot of terrain in a small space: flat-topped mountains above the Gran Sabana, waterfall circuits near Kavanayén, and high-altitude trails around Mérida.
The Gran Sabana is the clearest entry point. The Roraima trek is the headline route: five to seven days across savanna, through cloud forest, and onto a summit plateau that feels far removed from the lowlands. The same region also has shorter options, including Quebrada de Jaspe, the Kavanayén waterfall circuits, and the Salto Ángel approach.
If you want altitude, the Andes around Mérida add cloud forest trails, páramo crossings, and much colder nights. If you want something easier and more flexible, the Gran Sabana has day hikes and half-day excursions that can fit into a longer road trip.
The right choice depends less on distance than on support and season. Tepui routes usually need local guides and careful logistics; roadside walks and short waterfall hikes are simpler, but still reward early starts, sun protection, and enough water.
