Stage 36 of the tour is the last in South America before you head into the Caribbean. In an epic tour of over 1600 nautical miles, you’ll leave the mouth of the Amazon River and head along the coast to explore the countries of French Guiana and Suriname. After crossing into Guyana, you’ll head south through gold mining territory to the spectacular Canaima National Park, featuring the ‘Lost World’ of Mount Roraima and the nearby table-top mountains known as tepui. The last part of this stage will take you north along Venezuela’s hydroelectric powerhouse, the Caroni River, on your way to the Caribbean coast where you’ll finish the stage on the island of Trinidad<\/p>\n
