Waku Lodge Canaima

Waku Lodge is a family-owned and deeply beloved lodge on the shores of Canaima Lagoon, founded by the García family nearly half a century ago and today representing one of Canaima National Park’s most respected and warmly regarded accommodation options. The lodge’s 19 rooms and a private suite are arranged in traditional churuata-style bungalows with thatched roofs inspired by Pemon indigenous architecture, each furnished with quality mattresses, private bathrooms with hot water, air conditioning, and complimentary Wi-Fi in the common areas. All-inclusive packages include flights from Caracas or Puerto Ordaz, full board with an outstanding buffet featuring Venezuelan cuisine, and a comprehensive schedule of guided excursions including canoe trips on the lagoon, hikes to Sapo Falls, and the legendary full-day river expedition to Angel Falls, the world’s highest waterfall. The lodge operates a wildlife sanctuary for rehabilitated birds and animals and has been formally recognised for its environmental sustainability practices and Pemon community partnerships. Afternoon snacks featuring Venezuelan specialties and cocktail service at sunset are beloved highlights of the Waku experience. Among the Canaima lodges, Waku consistently earns the highest guest satisfaction scores.
