Ian Wright travels to
Venezuela, the country where Christopher Columbus first set foot on South American soil. His journey begins in the state of
Merida located high in the
Andes, home to the country's 5 highest peaks it is known as the roof top of Venezuela.
He then heads south by bus to
Hato Pinero, a 500 square mile ranch situated in the flat grasslands that cover almost a third of the country. The region is inhabited by the
Llaneros, some of the toughest cowboys on the planet as well as an abundance of wildlife including,
crocodiles, piranhas and the infamous
anaconda.
Leaving the wilds of Hato Pinero, Ian travels to
Caracas, the nation's capital and home to a quarter of the country's population. He meets up with the reigning
Miss Venezuela and learns about the city's famed beauty schools that have groomed a record number of
Miss Worlds and
Miss Universes. His next destination is
Los Roques, an archipelago of 300 sun-kissed islands, coral reefs and sand bars that was designated a national park in 1972.
The final leg of Ian's journey takes him south to
Gran Sabana, Venezuela's lush rainforest region also known as the
Lost World because of its strange pre-historic landscapes. He embarks on a 3 day trip down river from
Kamorata through the rapids of
Devil's Canyon ending his journey with a trek to
Angel Falls, the world's tallest waterfall measuring over 1,000 meters.
