Santa Elena de Uairén is a small frontier town in La Gran Sabana in Venezuela.
Same prices as Backpackers - bedrooms slightly different. Also doubles as a travel agency. Good advice for Venezuela (other cities or areas, tours, trips, safety, etc.) in the library, provided by other travellers.
Rooms slightly nicer than at Hotel Michelle. The German owner, Eric, and his team are extremely helpful. This hotel/hostel also organizes trekking tours and has a restaurant with great food and drinks - live music at weekends.
Flights to and from the airport are operated with small Cessna aircraft. Schedules change frequently.
