Come hone your technique and enhance your awareness, while exploring a fascinating region. Accompanied by the photographer Peter Feibert, you will travel through the unique landscape of the Gran Sabana, in Venezuela! Hiking on the savannah, from where the tepuis emerge, swimming in rivers, enjoying waterfalls and passing through indian villages, you will walk up Mount Roraima, to 2,700m (8,100ft) above sea level.

The top of a tepui is an incomparable experience: the rock formations resemble sculptures; the flora is made up mostly of orchids and bromeliads, many endemic; the weather and the light change at every moment, which motivates you to photograph; in other words, you will visit an inspiring place, bringing back the best images, made by yourself.
